As an artist, one spends a lot of time trying to share his or her passion with the world. One of the best ways in this day and age is to participate in shows. These shows can be either local or national. The bigger and more national shows are VERY expensive and yes, we pay to participate. Sometimes, local shows are inexpensive but it still means you have to set up your "store".
This past Saturday, Silk Creations by Janey participated in the Dupont Circle Art Rave. Arriving at 8:30 a.m. to a completely empty parking lot, it took 2.5 hrs to create this....
And then we closed at 5 p.m......and by 6 p.m., the parking lot was empty again. It is a pretty strenuous job especially since Silk Creations by Janey is staffed by only one person....me. All of the set up is done alone and keep in mind the grid walls weigh up to 80 lbs each. Great workout!!! Lol!!
As you can see, there are the parking space paints below the flooring I put down to create my "pop up" store. So, this post is to let you know that original and one of a kind art work is not just the work on the piece....it is also what we do behind the scene. That is why one of my creations is not the same price that you can buy a rayon scarf at Marshalls. I love my work and each and every one is a unique and one of a kind piece of art you can wear. Oh!! And they are also washable!
