Open Studios Tour a fabulous success!

I mentioned in my last post that this past weekend was the 17th Annual Flagstaff Open Studios Tour.  Sixty two artists gathered in 32 locations around Flagstaff for the event, featuring a wide variety of mediums and styles.  This was my sixth year to participate in the event, the last five sharing studio space with my friend Cinde Dalhover, a very talented bead jeweler.  This year, we were joined by Mack Davis, who creates beautiful fused glass items, and Kee Bahe, a wonderful painter who specializes in large and stunning landscapes of the northern arizona area.

Pictured above:  Kee Bahe, me, Cinde Dalhover and Mack Davis.

The photo was taken by a gentleman who just purchased one of Kee's beautiful sunset paintings with the San Francisco peaks, shown below:

Show facts:  we had at least 146 visitors over the two days;  we all had good to great sales (I topped my show sales not only for FOS, but for all the craft shows I have participated in, going back to 1997); I never got to crack open my project bag, which I normally bring to while away the time between visitors, so that tells you what it was like!  Suffice to say, we were all very happy with the event, and are already talking about FOS 2015!  Thanks to all who came, and all who took some of our creations when they left!
