OH MY GOD Jane! Your display is fantastic and there are so many pieces that I just love, I couldn't possibly pick a favorite! I wish I could find 1/4 of the cool stuff you use in your mosaics. I hope you get a lot of people to come and buy!

Rain, rain go away..come again another day! We must be
on the same weather path...sunny and 61 yesterday
...overcast and windy and cold today....YUCK!
Hope you have better weather next weekend.
Love the light up tomatoe and the totems are just too
cute...especially the easter bonnet one!

Wow! I Love your piggies (are these piggy banks?), and your flower window, and your ball that has the light inside (tell me how you made that!)..and I love your mushrooms....!!!

What are those things that are hanging??

WOW!!! To see all your work in one place... AMAZING!! I really love that blue totem. So hard to find blue here. And that 'tomato' that light up!! Whoooweeee!!
y'know, I'd have the show anyway. Maybe it's good to have people see how these magnificent creations would sparkle up their gardens on dreary days.

fingers and toes crossed that your weather turns for the best!

OH JANE! WOW!! It's so awesome to see all your pieces together! AWESOME!!

I hope it clears up for you Jane......did you wash your car..normally that's when it rains for me.......however, it's rained here for two weeks.....gurgle! GOod luck tomorrow....the sun will shine for you!

Very, very inspiring. The roosters and glass totems are very neat! It all is...
Thanks for sharing!

Wow Calam - everything looks fantastic! I have so many favorites in the pics. Wish I could be there in person. I know it's even more beautiful in person!

This show is going to bring you fame in your area. Get ready for some commissions.

Thanks Everyone! Klinger came over and I bounced my price list off her, and went out and put all my signs up last night. I've recruited DH for the Garden Show on the 26th,27th, he will be spending "quality time"(lol)with me as he is leaving for Africa for the whole month of May.

oh man Jane's gonna be on her own for a whole month - the WIPs will be flying!

good luck today, make oodles of money!!!!

Well, it's 2pm here and I'm ready to pack it in, only 5 people came and no one bought, one lady took a card and said she wants to do a mosaic class, so who knows. I did get my mirrored shower door grouted today and also my BB. I think I'll have better luck at the Garden Show on the 26,27th.I did this to get used to talking to people about My Art, like a real artist!LOL! It's way easier to talk to All of You cuz you "Get" me! Here's the pics of my mirror and BB. I used the blue slate grout on both pcs, did the butterflies in black grout, once it dries I think it will be a bit more of a contrast.

It's a start! Just think, if those 5 people tell
5 people who tell 5 people, etc.......you're gonna
have quite a crowd at the next showing!
LOVE that slate blue grout! And I like how you
did just the flutterbys in black, that really makes
them pop! I've been telling anybody who'll listen
about your shower door...now I can show the picture of
this amazing work of art! I like the (mostly) all blue BB, it's soothing.
They are both just beautiful!

Oh Jane that shower door is ABSOLUTLY STUNNING! another great BB too but the door blows me away!

Cindiloo is right, this is the leg work of marketing. They'll talk about what they saw, you betcha!

Yes, word of mouth is the best advertisement. I think you should put your signs out at home whenever you are "going to be home" so people passing will see. You never know! This is just the beginning....you gotta keep putting yourself out there.....! Fame will follow! I am excited for you! And your husband going on his trip to Africa and you home alone......watch out...he'll come home and you will have the outside of your house mosaiced!!!!

Ok, so now that you have a feel on how to sell yourself to 'strangers' the Garden Show should be a breeze!! And maybe your mosaic class will grow into THE place to be and you'll have people flying in from all over just to attend!! And we can say, "We knew her when..."

Love that shower door. It's soooo colorful! I have two leaning against my garage. Wanna come over and get 'em? Hey, if hubby can go to Africa there's nothing stopping you from coming here to Oz!! HAHAHA "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Vancouver anymore."

Awe man i would of bought something. Sorry not a great turn out. Bet you do awesome at the show.

Well, after whining to you, 4 more people showed up, one was a "Crafter" from the mainland and was here visiting a ladyfriend of hers in this neck of the woods, anyhoo, she said to advertise a mosaics class, and if there is enough advance, she will sign up and come over for it! She was very helpful and encouraging about craft shows as she does lots of them, and teaches crafts. And my neighbor who I bought the wonderful windows off of and Tea set, came by with her DH and they were blown away with everything, especially the tea set and cake!(not for sale but showing it off!) And as I talked with them I got a "Vision" of taking two or three of the windows and making a BIG EXTRAVAGANZA!!!here's a pic of the windows when I scored them, all 8!!! and the tea set too.

Well, I wish I'd been able to be at your show. I love so many of your pieces. Keep showing...word will get around about your art!

What a treat to see your work on display!!! My particular favorite is that wonderful frog! But... I like it ALL!!! As folks said... and as you're seeing... folks will come! :)
Congratulations! Keep after it! I'm always so impressed with your talent!

BEAUTIFUL!!! Your name is out there, and that's a great idea to advertise a mosaic class. You have the talent, experience and personality to be very successful w/a class. Beginning - baby steps - advertisement is the key, IMO. I absolutely LOVE that shower door, and what you said on Silvamae's thread is pure bull pucky - you didn't make a mess of your butterflies!!! Silly girl! It's GORGEOUS! Love your grout colors on the door and BB.
