Frida's Menagerie Tray on Indie Spotting

Hi All.
Well its been busy allright. Finished Open Studios last weekend and last night I did the opening reception for the Dia de los Muertos event ALTARS FOR THE SPIRITS/OFFERINGS FOR THE LIVING at SOMARts in San Francisco. What a great experiences doing both these events. Its clear people are struggling financially but the positive nature of the crowds taught me something. I think that despite hard economic times, people want to go out, be entertained, enjoy art and spend a little money. The items I've sold more of have been magnets, earrings an occasional home accessory and handbag. Art - like paintings - is the most difficult. I have however, had more people admire the artwork I do. This leads me to believe admiration will turn into sales at a later date. For those of us that can hang on, this is doable. Its not easy but you have to become very creative in how you make your money. These are tough times but I feel very hopeful!!

So, in the meantime, I wanted to mention that my Frida's Menagerie Tray was featured on Indie Spotting. Please take a look. You can always view it on Etsy where you can even buy it if you'd like!
