Well, another AA Art Fair is done. It was a very interesting show. The first two days were hot and humid, but the last two were perfect. I debuted my new Twist Wrap and was very happy with everyone's reaction. I especially like seeing it on so many different people. And many people had ideas for how it could be worn. I haven't had time to professionally have it photographed, but it is the first two racks of silks. I have made it in silk embroidered chiffon, silk charmeuse and raw silk. I look forward to exploring other fabrics and am considering a handwoven one.
Ann Arbor Art Fair is full of interesting
events and people. This year Mother Nature gave us a Sun Dog. I don't remember seeing one before. There seemed to be a full circle rainbow around the sun and a 'second sun'. The inner core was darker than the sky. A customer said it was a sailors term. That made sense since there was a restuarant that my parents used to frequent by that name and the owner was an avid sailor. No one was sure if it was considered a good sign or a bad one, so we decided it was a good sign.
Another great thing that came our way was the annual visit from Robert. He makes the most wonderful costumes, puts on roller skates or 6" high boots (added onto his 6' + frame) and takes a walk down Main Street. He doesn't get very far, though. I have never seen so many camera phones! He always stops to talk to us and we look forward to his visit. The hours at the fair are quite long and his visit is a brief vacation. Thanks Robert.
