We went to the 5x7 show on Thursday and Friday night to see my artwork as well as over 1500 other pieces. The whole experience was a bit intense. So many pieces to look at!! It could almost make you a little crazy. One of my pieces sold at the opening. I have never experienced anything quite like it. They counted down to 9 pm and then all of these people started running all over the place grabbing tags off the pieces they liked. It was chaotic, but gave me a rush. I just wanted to start grabbing tags as well even though I do not have the money to buy any of the pieces I wanted to grab a tag too!!

The other part of the evening that I thorougly enjoyed was watching people look at my artwork and comment. The good and the bad~ I loved it!

One couple came up and the gentleman liked a piece of mine but his wife just kept telling him " No sweetie not that one!". or the couple that came up and looked at my pin piece and stated " Oh it's only push pins" If you only knew. But how wonderful to have people just spend some of their time looking at a piece you created and making them think, even if sometimes it was negative~ It was wonderful to touch a person like that. My favorite thing about being an artist. There were a ton of positive comments as well : One gentleman telling his friend not to point at it someone else might see it and get it before him. People just coming up and twisting their heads around the pieces to see what they were made of, how they were attached, etc. I love art openings! I want to do this more often...
