Dark Arts craft fair at The Lovecraft Bar

Good day!<br />Well, in all actuality its a dreary day over here in Portland Oregon complete with hard rain and fast wind. However we did get a break from that mess on Saturday. The sunshine was out full force for what felt like the 1st time this year. It made for a fun and successful day selling my art at the <a href="http://portlandsaturdaymarket.com/"><strong>Portland Saturday Market</strong></a>.<br /><br />On Sunday I tried something new. I set up a lil booth inside a local bar and tea house called <a href="http://www.thelovecraftbar.com/"><strong>The Lovecraft bar</strong></a>( yes! its themed after the famous scifi/horror writer HP Lovecraft!) and sold my work at their monthly "dark arts" craft fair.<br />A photo from the expeirnce:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5651965895/" title="Dark Arts craft fair at The Lovecraft bar by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Dark Arts craft fair at The Lovecraft bar" height="419" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5185/5651965895_3865e28df8.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />(sorry for the photo quality. It was quite dark inside and we didnt have our tripod.)<br />....I had a blessed time! It was back to raining outside on Sunday so i was very happy to be tucked nicley indoors selling my work, with a nice big pot of tea at hand and plenty of other intersting local artists to meet and chat with. What was really engouraing is i sold very well! I had my best art vending day of the year thus far inside the bar. I really felt like the poeple who were walking in the door were my target audicence, and thus we were a good match for eachother :) I cant wait to do the event again!<br />...and of course, since i will take almost any opperunity to dress up a lil...this is what i wore for the "dark arts" craft fair:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5652533662/" title="What I wore today by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="What I wore today" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5226/5652533662_dab50daec2.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />You cant really tell in this photo but this lace dress is actually two shades of dark green. I found the dress a year ago at the Goodwill bins and bought it for less then a buck! Under the dress i am wearing a striped skirt that was gifted to me. On my head i wear my favoerite hat, which i bought at a renissance fair in California a few years back.<br /><br />In other news...<br />I am excited to now be offering 8"x 10" art prints of my most recent acrylic painting:<br /><img height="615" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.238867421.jpg" style="WIDTH: 360px; HEIGHT: 481px" width="420" /><br />"Mistress and the Orb" originla acrylic painting.<br />Get your 8"x10" Giclee art print of her for $15 <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/72850997/mistress-and-the-orb-8x10-giclee-art"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><strong>Speical offer for my blog followers: If you type "blog friend" in the notes field of your order I will add a surprise art piece inside the package for you!</strong><br /><br />How was your weekend?<br />Much love and light,<br />-Chelsea Rose
