wow! I can't believe it.

Some of you may remember that I left some of my crafted pieces on consignment at a gallery neary my parents' house. I wasn't thinking it would do well; in fact, she only picked out a few things, and I was a little bummed, especially because one of the pieces was the Cursed Piece, a very expensive piece that I made about seven years ago and was certain would never, ever sell.

But I've received a couple checks, and today, I just received a wonderful check...the cursed piece sold. In fact, I'm a little worried that they have nothing left...I think they only have two pieces now.

Wow! Just...wow!

Royal purple and pumpkin orange is far from the worst combination...

Once, to test my theory that people will buy anything, I made a reversible cloak that was black suedecloth on one side and neon pink satin on the other. Next show it was bought...by a stereotypical Harley biker (you've seen the type - beard, tattoos, scars, wallet on a chain, big, hairy, scary, wears leather, and thinks engine exhaust is a cologne). Being kindhearted by nature (and fearing future reprisals), I politely said "Excuse me sir. But you *do* realize what colors are in that cloak? I'm only asking because some of my customers suffer from blue-green or red color blindness and what they interpret as being grey actually appears as a different color to most people." To which he flashed me a big smile (missing one front tooth) and answered "Hell, yah! It's pink!"

I can only assume that Saturday nights at the local biker's bar were going to be highly entertaining...
