Creature Card #17 ATC Edition

My head has not liked me today. Maybe it was being put right next to the speakers last night, or the 1.5 drinks I had, I don't know but today I did not feel good or very happy. I tried really hard to think of the positives from last night and to try to concentrate on those. Overall it was a learning experience. I made a few new artist friends which was the highlight of my day to be sure. I almost sold one piece but their card wouldn't work and then they dissappeared. I was able to give out a few cards and you never know if those will work out or not. 

I had to get some nylons at the store becuase of bruising my knee the other day. I found some that were nice and on sale but when I got ready to put them on I realized I hadn't paid attention to the color. They wouldn't work so I had to go back to the store before heading to the show. It put me about 30 min after everyone else got there. They put me in the corner, which I didn't realize would be a bad spot until the show started. I also forgot my lighting and it was often rather dark where I was. All the tables had been taken but a little one so I got some circle tables and the little one. There were these pole setups we were supposed to use but the only one left was in pieces and I was supposed to put it together myself. That didn't work out for me. So it was what it was. None of the people I invited showed up as far as I know. It was not the best atmosphere for trying to sell fine art. But you live you learn. From now on I'm sticking to commissions online and galleries.

But I did make some friends :) Sometimes things happen that we don't quite understand why, but later God shows us what He had in mind and it's awesome. I'm trying to think positively.

Final bid 414. This card will be going to California. To a person who was, for a time, a mystery bidder. Revealed today to be a very old friend from middle school. What a wonderful surprise.
