I sat down to write this entry yesterday but just didn’t get the chance. The open studio was in full swing and from 11am to 5pm I had a pretty steady flow of people through the house, and I thought no one would come. I was really impressed at the number of people who had set out to do the whole artists trail and most of them were doing it on foot!Saturday had started slowly because of the parade, I think everyone was walking it and of course the roads were close. I had taken down my mini eco-warrior (Frankie) and my flower (Molly) to walk it with Mike, I was sorry to have missed it and may as well have nipped down to the main road to see I’ll know for next time!The people who came seemed genuinely interested and I enjoyed showing them my studio. I don’t think my work was everyone’s cup or tea and some were surprised to see a whole room of snails, so I had to answer the question why snails over and over again. I sold one print but on the whole there was little interest in buying the work, although about three people did ask about pieces and said they may come back next week.
Later I went down to Fiona’s Garden party at the White Gallery which was wonderful, very nice to see the work down there and meet up with some of the other artists. Every one I spoke to had had a good day and some had sold well. Roll on next week end!
