Well it is almost here!  I think I mentioned in one of my earlier post, that I have been accepted into the Girls Inc. of Santa Fe 36^th Annual Arts & Crafts Show.  It is the first weekend in August.  And there are 250 artists that will be in the show.  You had to be juried in to participate.  And to my absolute joy, my work was accepted. 

 

Yesterday, I missed my weekly submission to Mixed Media Monday.  Why?  I was overdue for submitting an advertisement to the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper.  So, I sent over a mock up and then discovered I couldn’t link to their FTP site to upload my actual image.  Well needless to say, I was on the phone with the very nice account manager and what came out is that I needed to use FTP software to link to their site (you just couldn’t do it from a standard web browser).  So, I went out to Version Tracker and downloaded the update for my FTP Software (I currently use CuteFTP).  It is pretty simple and made it feasible for me to up load the image.  Yeah!!!

 

Here is the image I am going to be showing in the ad.  I thought it might be fun for the Southwest.

 

I am really excited and freaked out at the same time!!!  LOL!!!  It will be the first show I have to do by myself (that is a different story for a different day).  I have decided I will blog during the trip, so I will be schlepping my PC and camera.  And I can’t believe I am going to a town that I only know one kind soul (and not really very well).  It is 453.3 miles from here to Santa Fe, according to AAA this morning.  They are creating a map and directions to the hotel!  Sweet!!  One less thing to sweat!

 

Now I am going to work on getting prints of some of my key works.  I have been really going back and forth over what I should offer at a lower price point.  Like all art, I want to make sure my art is accessible!  And until I get my book out, my t-shirts probably will not do the complete trick.  So, I am having prints (8×10”) done of my work.  And I will test them out at the show, along with offering original work and handmade books.  I know, I just used this in my earlier post, but “Wish Me Luck!!”
