Good evening all paint pushers,

Today, while working probably my 9th hour on my chair for charity, with a show coming up next Sat, I started thinking.

I know nothing about priorities! I'll work 100 hours on a chair that will come out quite elaborate, but not necessarily a good idea, as few charity givers will be drawn to such a frill.

Meanwhile, I have an outdoor show in a large tent, part of my Madison Art Society group, and I could use some smaller sized, lower priced work to attract customers to my area. The whole idea is to catch the "sidewalk sales" crowd. I don't have anything done, so I should be making some.

Also, I have nothing to hang my paintings on, as part of a group show. We always used the mesh sides of our tent, but that's not possible in a group situation. We went to Home Depot today and my husband didn't like the lattice. If anyone has any ideas on how to make hanging devices for about 10 pieces, I would love to hear them.

Of course, everything isn't so very gloomy. I entered two pieces into a juried show for the Clinton Art Society, and both pieces were accepted!!! Tomorrow is the reception 5-7:00 too early for "putting on the Ritz," but I love white linen for early evening.

Laughing at myself, because if I couldn't, I'm not sure what would happen.

Live in the light,

Lisabeth

He then attached them to the uprights of my booth shelter, so that I had three walls with chicken wire on them. Easy to set up and take down, and lots of exhibit space. Good luck. S. E. Bland From: FineArtbyRobin 07/28/2008 17:45:40 I havent been on this site much the past few weeks but I always look for my favorite blogger, (which is you!) I can suggest hanging art on display panels, and www.propanels.com is a good site, it just might not be the kind of investment you want to make. I use these panels when I do high end fine art shows as well as in my studio for displaying framed works. Hope you can at least check out the site. Robin
