When one door closes, another opens….
Wooohooo! Just a bit of gloating here….. I was totally bummed when, just before Christmas, I learned that virtually overnight the store where I had been teaching was closing / relocating, and the schedule of ten classes we had set up for January to April was out the window. So much for income. Then…drum roll and the sound of a door opening, please,…..I got a small check from the Ducktrap Bay Trading Company, a gallery here in Camden for the sale of a fabric postcard. Last summer, I approached the gallery and the owner, who has in the past been an embroiderer and likes cool stuff like scrimshaw and carved duck decoys (that cost $2000!) as well as traditional media, took a chance and agreed to hang some of my works. The little check had a note…another check would be coming. I was flabbergasted today to receive a check for my cut of these three pieces, all of which sold just before Christmas:
Lone Bitterroot (roughly journal / paper sized):
May 2004 Journal (8.5 x 11 inches):
And best of all, Brooks and Branches, 10″ wide by 56″ long, with detail photo:
May I invite you all to join me in the happy dance?!!!!!
