Getting ready for the festival

Today is an exciting day.  We finally got the garage in "working" condition and I am about to actually get to work with the power tools! Wooohoooo!  I am building a back support for one of my art pieces created on a 24 x 49 MDF board.  Yes...I know, I should have done it before the art went on.  I'll be careful.
I'm getting ready for my first art festival.  If you're in the McKinney, TX area, come see ART IN BLOOM.  I'm one of 12 artists.  I have a 7x10 tent space, 4 borrowed ProPanels and the use of the back of neighboring ProPanels.  I am taking pieces that show all of my styles.  I have read that one style should be picked for a show; in this case, I am hoping to get invited to show in the sponsoring Gallery.  Just me, by myself...a one woman show.  That's when I guess I'll have just the one style I want to be known for.  And that, my friends, will be my 3D's.
They are very time consuming but, oh my goodness, the things you can see on just one strip. Sometimes, as I am building up the layers, I get sidetract by naming all that I can see and imagine.  I have even taken the leftovers and built whole pieces around the image that ends up on it. Well, you really have to see it to see it.  A picture does not do my 3D pieces justice.
Till next time...Have a creative day!
