Wonderful works, Thea :thumbup;

On the time difference - if we get any members from Hawaii, perhaps we'll have to think about dating inside posts as well as putting times :r :r

Thank you all very much :ta: :ta:

There are a few pictures that I just recently photographed, so it's a kind of a Premiere here...
The one with the cloud scene is about 60 x 80 cm big (my biggest piece to tell the truth) and the pine branch is 40 x 100 cm.

This weekend I participated in my first ever craft fair.

It was fun, there was a lot of interest in Encaustic (I did demo's almost every 2 hrs.), but I had to pay so much table space rent that I barely cut my costs :(

Sorry you didn't do better at the craft fair Thea. I'm sure as you get more of your work out there the interest will grow. Your set up looked great. I hope you do just tons of business in your next fair. :thumbup; :thumbup; :hug:

Good to hear you had fun at the fair, Thea :thumbup; Clouds is great, and the foreground looks like the edge of a ship, sailing along the coast, to me :)

Perhaps we need an experienced craft fair "trader" to start a tips thread in Stock Exchange? ;)

i know how fustrating it is thea! ive done craft fairs were the table hire is so much that we only just cover the cost, weve also done them when theres been a car boot sale outside and all the public spent there money on junk and dont want to buy crafts! Im glad you enjoyed it, me and mags always have a laugh even when we make no profit, but funnily enough, people do remember us and come looking for our stall at the next one we do!
your table looks loverly! sometimes it all depends on were you are placed and what the person is selling next to you!

my number one tip........get next to the cake stall! :r
I like doing the charity sales, at least then if we sell very little the table money goes to a good cause!


dont let it put you off ! :thumbup;
