Hello Everybody,

    Has anyone done the Smoky Hill River Festival in Salina, Kansas? I've
    received an application from the Fine Art section of the Smoky Hill
    River Festival. Is this a good venue for high end art jewelry? My
    stuff is all handmade, I fabricate my own findings, and cut a lot of
    my stones, and I charge accordingly. 

    Is this a show that attracts a crowd willing to pay upwards of $500
    for a piece of jewelry, or is this a show that is better for
    lower-end jewelry? I'd like to find out before I invest any time or
    money that I could use elsewhere. 

    BTW - follow up on the opal/opticon- the stone broke into three
    pieces, making the question moot. Spontaneous melee, I can live with
    that. The other stone I cut in half along the crack, and have carved
    into two seperate pieces. Have decided I will never seal or bother
    with fractured opals. If it cracks, it's going in the fishtank, and
    that will be that. 

Thanks in advance,
Susannah
