    Today I did my first Art Show. My jewellery was classified as visual
    art. It was held in the park across the street from where I live in
    front of the art gallery. The park is one where you go to if you want
    to feel like you are someplace in the wilds. There is a large lake
    stocked with fish, turtles, all kinds of ducks and geese (even an
    Egyptian goose). There is a floating bridge where many weddings take
    place, plenty of playgrounds and water parks yet it is not visible
    from the surrounding streets and it is right in the middle of our
    little city. Well it turned out to be very warm and beautiful out.
    Not only were the regulars you see walking around the park (it has a
    2.2 mile paved walkway all around the lake) but hundreds of people
    turned out to hear the music and enjoy the arts. Maybe I take
    exception to things because I do view my jewellery as a visual art
    and I love talking to people. I had a great time. I didn't care if I
    didn't sell a thing, the music was extremely good, the array of arts
    was wonderful and I did end up not only making a lot of money but got
    several contracts for weddings and Christmas gifts. I met and talked
    to old friends and met a huge number of new friends. All in all it
    was a great day and I was sorry to see it end, but wait there is
    another one on the 19th of this month Hurray. For those of you who
    are afraid to try something different - don't hesitate take the
    plunge, you may hate it you may love it but at least you can honestly
    say that you tried it. For me it was a taste of heaven and fun.
    Leaving me exhausted but full of life and love.
