Here are a couple new Soywax Batiks I have made. They will be in the upcoming Group Fiber Arts Show at our Sheldon Community Arts Hangar here in downtown Talkeetna, the reception is 4-7 pm on the second Saturday in May and will be up until early June. They are also using one or both of these photos on the flyer advertising the show. This summer at my store I will be participating in the "Second Saturday Art Walk" each month. Several galleries, gift shops and cafes feature an artist and put out some refreshments so people can walk around town and stop at them all. Should be a good way to get the word out about my shop and put out some extra art too, I have quite a bit right now. We are keeping busy, I'm making stock for the summer and getting ready to start spiffing up my space downtown. Hoping for a busy summer, we have a great spot. I will add photos of it in May when I open for Mother's Day. This is my Open Air Market Booth outside the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar. We do this during the summer months Sat. - Mon. here in downtown Talkeetna. I have done it off and on for 3 years now. The spot I'm in isn't my usual space and next year I will be just left of the entrance to the hangar. A fun group of vendors are there, some locals and some not. Several people come up from Wasilla and Palmer to sell at this little local outdoor market. The tour buses and trains let people off just down the road for several hours at a time so we meet tourists from all over the world and the crafts they buy also end up all over the world, including mine! It's a great way to work for myself. I also do a few festivals each year around the state, maybe I will see you at one of them... Peace from Alaska!
