I ordered notecards with images of some of my makings to send out pieces from the shop in. They turned out great! Maybe they'll inspire some real letter writing? (Something I always mean to do, look forward to doing, but rarely make happen . . .)
Also, as I shared a few days ago, some exciting things happened at the hair salon lately. It started with a haircut a month ago. . . it had been a year since I last went to her, and only the third time I've ever seen her. So, there was both getting caught up and "getting to know you talk". At some point it turned to my stitching, and all of the good and new things that have happened with it over the last piece of time.
She said I should bring my work there (they have different artist's work on the walls each month).
I said maybe she should see my work first and see if she even liked it?
She said she didn't need to.
So, after a quick discussion with self…"Say, "NO!" She's just asking because I've been especially funny for the last half hour. She's just being nice. It will be too much, etc. . . Just say, "NO!"
Instead, I said, "Thank you, can I think about it? I'm going to try to take this in." We made the appointment for the blueing and said goodbye.
Since . . . emails and photos were sent. She does like my makings, and I said yes, inspite of myself. It's a small shop, so I'm going to try and finish ten pieces or so by mid-November. I don't know if anyone actually buys art from hair salons, but I think it will be a good experience, and she is looking forward to having something new to look at.
And do you see that little card in the photo above, in the bottom left? It came with the cards, with my order information, look what it says on the other side . . . I'm taking it as a sign, not sure what of, but something swell, I'm sure!
