Seems like I didn't do anything all week except work for PYRO Gallery. I did a shift of gallery-sitting on Sunday, went in on Wednesday morning to hang my work, made the gallery tags for everything in the new show, printed them out and helped affix then to the wall on Thursday morning, went back Friday noon with a few more tags that for some reason hadn't been finished in time, came back at 5 to help set out the food for the reception, talked with dozens of people during the reception, made a few wall tags for new work that replaced things sold at the reception, and then back again to work a shift this afternoon.
It was an exhilarating week, because we had a very successful opening, but I am looking forward to not setting foot in the gallery for the foreseeable future.
Three of my pieces sold last night, all of them the little postage stamp hangings. This morning I rooted around in my boxes and found one more postage stamp piece that I hadn't taken in, and found another one pinned to my design wall, which with 15 minutes work was ready to be hung. So I hung the two new pieces in the holes left by the sold work.
A comment on the blog this week from Rose, who noted my mention of my broken ankle and told me about HER broken ankle last year. I had it so much easier than she did, and so much easier than a lot of other people I have talked to who broke ankles or other pedal bones. I am so fortunate -- it could have been so much worse. I guess we're getting to the age range where it's so much more common to fall, and to suffer consequences. I wish for all my friends and readers a great new year, free of broken bones and other misfortunes.
Here's my favorite miniature of the week:
Congratulations on selling your pieces. I really like the postage stamp hangings, especially the alphabet one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sales. It seems your instinct was right that these works sell. (At least, I seem to remember that's what you were thinking.)
