This is a view of our booth at Hailey May 31 weekend. We decided to put our small sculptures on tables, and the larger ones we set on the ground at the corner of the tent. It worked out well. We decided to set our booth up similarly for Ketchum, which was last weekend, July 9-11.
I don't have a photo of the sky at Ketchum, but it gave us very exciting weather. On Friday about 4 pm. it rained hard for about 45 minutes. Many artists art work was at risk of damage from the rain, so many closed up their booths until the water subsided. Saturday was the same at about 2 pm, rain and hail. It was a deluge! We had visitors and so we snacked and had a fun visit. I am very lucky that my art work is weather proof!
I decided to bring less tall sculptures, and more small sculptures to this event due to the economy. I reasoned that people would be more inclined to spend small amounts. However, I sold more tall ones!
Despite the weather, we made a few sales. Two couples each bought two sculptures. One couple took their pieces home and set them up right away. They will get some kind of container to set them in, to hide the bricks. Usually the sculptures are set in a garden and the bricks are put in the ground.
They brought us the photos! It is very gratifying when someone buys my work. It really completes the exercise of art-making!
