Sandi, they are all amazing! I have to be told to put A to B so would never be able to do this. You obviously have had artistic talent all along!

Thank you all. I think “Temple in the Mist” is my favorite.

I have to be told to put A to B so would never be able to do this.

Sorry.

Lol, don’t be sorry, keep them coming. Sandi, do you have plans to share with others? You said it was to occupy yourself during the pandemic but seems to be progressing into something much more.

P.S. Sandi, you do know I was teasing I hope

Yes, I understand Shirl. It’s still to occupy myself. Nothing else to do, no one else to share with. My granddaughter is too busy with school and activities and thankfully she’s not tied to her phone. You all are my captive audience.

As a willing member of your "captive audience", I happily look each day to see what new beautiful painting you share! certainly a good creative hobby to follow.

Sandi, still been thinkin'. . . (always a dangerous pastime for me, LOL).

Maybe, sometime in future, when the pandemic is receding in everyone's rear-view mirror, I hope to get back to attending craft fairs with some of the hand-made jewelry I have been making over the last few years.

As I may have mentioned before, my stuff is mostly "rock-art jewelry". As in rocks (stones) and not as in as in rock-and-roll (most of my pieces are made out of a chunk of rock. Really. ).

I think your artwork, and my jewelry, would be complementary (and not competing) one to the other if well displayed in a booth. Sandi, please think about this for a while, no rush, but would you be interested in. . . how do I put this?. . . in placing a few of your pieces "on consignment" with me if - and when - I do get back to the craft faire thing? LOL - I have no idea how this might work, have never done anything like this before - but just thought I would throw it out there.

As many on here know, I do have a (sadly outdated) website that features photos of my stuff. I have never sold a single thing through my website, but have done fairly well selling my pieces at crafty venues. I'm not getting rich on this - I mostly do this for fun - so I price my things pretty much so that I have funds to buy more materials to make more jewelry.

I was even scheduled to have an exhibit of my pieces at a local art gallery here for the month of June last year. . . it didn't happen. . . I'm sure everyone remembers what was happening in June of last year. . .

I am looking into getting a gallery booking at the same place later this year, your artwork would go even better in a gallery than in a booth, I think! The gallery place may not have me - I canceled my exhibit in April of last year (for the June exhibit) because I could see "the handwriting on the wall" - they were not happy with me, and said they thought I was "over-reacting".

I actually wondered about that myself but in hindsight I am now thinking "not so much"

Anne what you need to do is come to Q for a winter lots of ways to sell one in a craft fair at the QIA 1st Sat of the month I believe that there are other craft fairs as well but haven't attended them not only that is the places the vendors set up at
something to consider

I am also a willing captive audience member. Keep your pictures coming, Sandi. I'm in awe of your talent. And I agree, every one you've posted would sell at a craft fair, easily.
