| Booth shot on day two of Eno, 2011 |
Very hot weather, large crowds, continuous music, good sales, fun, and did I mention very
hot weather? All of that and more is what we experienced at our eighth annual Festival of the Eno. We had a great first day, making good sales, and greeting the many people who visited our booth. Sunday, the second day, was hot and muggy, and was apparently not a day for art; we sold just one $5 magnet. Undeterred, and since we had to be there anyway, we looked forward to a better day on Monday, the 4th. Sales picked up, the crowd was in a good mood, and things were great until a thunderstorm arrived and cleared everyone out at about 4:30. Load out was a soggy mess, but we were happy with the weekend overall.

Response to my new clock line was great; I sold half of those I'd brought. People were curious about how I create my cut paper collage clocks and mirrors, and were amazed when I told them I cut all my shapes with scissors (except for the small, hole punched circles--I'm good, but not
that good!). It's at shows that I remember how much people are interested in the creative process. What seems normal or even mundane to me about how I work can be fascinating to someone who doesn't know anything about art.
So, another Eno is in the books, and we look forward to participating in a new show here in Raleigh in September, the African American Cultural Festival. I've got lots to do before then, and will share the progress as it happens, so stay tuned.
