Yessiiiiree!I sold quite a bit, and made many new, wonderful connections with shoppers, other artists, and collectors. The only casting piece I have left was my bronze hand. It's marked at $120 at the moment, and took over 15 hours to make.
I got a lovely gift for my mother,
it was a water-cast alluminum necklace that this amazing artist, and person, Dennis Svornos, made. The technique is highly toxic, but when handled correctly, it can be treated safely, and the results are fucking fanonminal. Here are some pictures of the fronts and backs of it. He sold it to me for $20. I thuroughly enjoy his work. Maybe as time goes on, I'll give one of my spotty reviews on him.

Raleigh and I are driving to Connecticut in a few hours, Steve and I just kind of decided to join her to surprize my mother and grandmother. I need to figure out a gift for my grandmother. I got a great tea/sake set for my grandfather, for father's day. I know there were things at the sale that my grandmother would have loved, but I feel as though that there was something better for her out there that I could afford. I might drop by urban renewals right before we leave to get her something. Everytime I'm in there, I see something she'd love. As for my father, I know I'll find him something neat.
I gave away one of my pieces today, well, yesterday (this blog started at 5:45am, I walked away for a bit, showered, dressed myself; all that good stuff) to a newly engaged couple (I stress newly, they had literally just proposed moments beforehand) to bring them happiness and security in their new home (life) together. I gave them
my safety home, which was a huge symbol and reaccuring image/drawing of mine first semester. I've tried very hard to break away from it, since I feel as though it would become more harmful than helpful to me if I held on too long. It was a piece that I hoped if given to someone, they would find happiness in it.
I really felt like they should have it.
:)
Either way, the weekend was a huge success, and I can't wait for next year! Thanks to all of those who came out!
