AWESOME DAY

The craft show at the Smithsonian today was unbelievable. I have never seen so many beautiful things in one place. I had such a good time. I learned so much from Don about craft shows, metalsmithing, working with glass, selling, etc. We laughed all day and sold TONS of pieces. His booth was by far the most popular out of all of the ones in my field of vision and I felt so honored to have the opportunity to be standing there with him.

If we didn't have a project due on Tuesday that I was freaking out about then I would definitely go back tomorrow and Saturday to help again. I can't even describe in words right now how much fun I had and the excitement I still feel from the day. I met and talked to so many different people - customers walking around the show and other artists. I got to see again and meet for the first time artists whose work I admire. Among those people were Thomas Mann, Dennis Nahabetian and Todd Reed (all of whom say "hi" Jan).

As soon as I figure out how to get pictures off of my Sprint account online I'll put some up of me and Don in action at the show! :)
