From another newbie
 
I have participated in two projects, so consider myself a newbie too! I never felt unwelcome, but I do take responsibility for what and how I feel. No one will ever "make me" feel this or that way. I choose how I feel! If confronted with the same post being offered to me after I asked for more explanation, I would have persisted and told the group, "Hey, I am new, and not really sure I understand! I do want in, can someone hold my hand and help me through?"....or something to that effect...
I would say that in participating, I did gain both insight into other artists' minds, and into my own. I don't take that lightly, and it is worth, to me, giving wide berth to all the vicissitudes of life....how busy people can get, impatient (nothing personal) and even ornery (or blunt...which to me is a good quality)....Giving people the benefit of the doubt always has worked for me......
I hope you find what you need, whether in this group or elsewhere!

But since all that you could do is repeat what you said the first time, I don't feel very welcome and please just remove my name from this group. :(

Sweetiefemme - I'm sorry I didn't see your posts here sooner. We have been on a bit of a hiatus, project-wise. I'm sorry that you didn't feel welcome here.

This is a great group of people: inspiring, creative, generous, witty, blunt and wecoming. It's my favorite place on BFP and I'm sorry that you didn't feel that way. Today is a new day if you want to come in an try to make a fresh start!

Yes, I
LOVE seeing the twisted turns of paper into things. Sometimes I am tempted to unflod them to see how it's done.

Oh! Thank You for asking! I thought I said something! lol

The show was a success for my first go at it! It was 2 days and by early afternoon on the first day, I had recooped to pay for my rental and the cost of my tent! So I was pleased over that, as the space rental was not cheap!

I sold about 1/3 of my pieces and got 7 commissions! Also, 2 folks asked about classes....which I had NOT considered, but now have one class scheduled for November! A one~day artist workshop about what I do! I'm VERY excited about THIS! It speaks to the teacher in me!

Lots of contacts from this experience, as well....and networking galore!

I will do the Spring show in May, I have decided.......because of the success of the Fall Festival. And I was also invited to participate in a smaller show in November for the Pit Bull Rescue Festival! So I'll be making Christmas goodies for this show!

Candace help me set up and another friend helped me strike on Sunday night. Lots of friends stopped by.......Candace was there......ShariBerry and her daughter and Ebon and Gemmie, too!

Life. Is. Good!

Currently, I'm working on the piece for the Reunion Raffle and it's turning out SO well! I will post it when I complete it!

Bugs....
I adore origami!!!!!! One Christmas, my daughter and I discussed covering the tree in white cranes, but we never got the chance to carry out that plan!

I'm not sure *I* could do it! :eyebat:

I can't believe it took me this long to spot this thread! How wonderful that there's so much creativity here. I just love it!

I'm curious: has anyone tried swap-bot.com for trading art? I've been there for a few years and I like it. It's got a nice little system. I've done some trading through my blog as well, but I never saw a thread in these forums for swapping art before.

I'm going to subscribe to this thread to watch for your future trades and such!
