Two different shows in two days!!! That was our weekend and it went by like a flash...First we went to a bead show in Orange County which is always one of Penny's best shows of the year. It did not disappoint this year and made up for some less than stellar shows prior to this one. It is a one-day show at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana which is only about an hours drive north for us. Yesterday was Cindy McQuade's studio show where I sold my glass and sculpture pieces. I'm happy to report that my copper, glass and steel sculpture, Cupricity, found a home. I also had several compliments and interest in my Bloom piece. The ornaments that Penny and I made all sold as did some tumblers, vases and bowls. It was a fun day and the food and company was great. Everytime I do Cindy's show it amazes me how creative our little group is; there are so many new designs people come up with for pieces in glass. Ann Mitchell does everything from paradise paints to solid glass work to blown vessels. She will mix everything she does and comes up with wonderful designs. I also met Patty Yockey who teaches ceramic and glass at UCSD and makes some incredible pieces. Although she was certainly no stranger to Cindy and the other artists, I don't believe she had done the show while I was there before...always fun to meet someone new.
More reports later and more auctions!
