Booths

[cheryl]

Afrofest is coming up and I'd hoped enough members would sign up so that we could share the booth space for $62.50 each. Unfortunately that's not happening (8 members are needed and would get 1/2 a table each) and I suspect that this is due to cost. One of the things BCG will be doing after obtaining charitable status under a local arts umbrella organisation is raising funds in order to pay for members' selling space at events. It would be great if we could raise enough money to pay for our own store-studio space as well but alas, that will probably remain a dream for while ...

At our own annual festivals members will have table/booth space for free. Non-members will be charged a fee to help cover event costs. Any surplus would go towards the funding of future events. I'm excited about our first independent event. I almost can't wait for it.

OOPS! Oh shoot, those pics are not of all my work. I took pics at an event BCG was at on Apr 15. I don't do pottery (yet ... teeheehee ... I LOVED it in highschool but haven't done anything since). I didn't bring jewellery to the event. The only pics I've posted of my jewellery work is the set of rhodonite earrings.

Yes, I draw freehand but I usually use references (photos) to do so. A couple of the women I've drawn are reminiscent of one of my favourite artists. I also want to do a series reminiscent of Michaelangelo. I feel in love with his work at a young age. A friend might be posing for me with her child. I can't wait! Thank you for the compliments!

Cheryl,

Girlfrriend your work is amazing! You have so much diversity in your mediums...jewelry, journals, pottery. I am in awe of your talents. Do you draw freehand...the ladies on the journals are fiercely beautiful.
