(located just outside Austin)
it was incredibly windy and after trying to set up my tent for 4 hours (with all my paintings hanging around the edges of it), the tent literally broke and fell on top of me (the light metal the E-Z Up tents are made out of twist and warp a lot- i met a lot of people that said theyd had to add support beams, etc. to theirs)... i thought that i would have to just pack up and leave because i didnt have a way anymore to set up any of my paintings or even to have some sort of booth ..but some people that were around my booth space helped me SOOO much and were so helpful and sweet to me. they stuck in a metal pole on one side and a metal umbrella on another and then crossed cables on facing sides of the tent to make it stay up. we were laughing because it was going to look goofy but oh well. the couple that was able to help me the most randomly had this huge wooden drawer in the back of their trailer hahahahahaha. we propped that up on my little metal chair id brought to sit in so the drawer couldnt sit upright all the way but i was just happy to have anything up at all. i could not believe that it actually did stay up, i was so grateful
my prints weighted down from the wind :/
that lil pup's name was Bruce Lee, what a cutie
ha the board was so slanted, oh well, happy to be there
theres the umbrella to hold it up :)
my neighbor to the right of me. his name was bill and he made hats for sale
ember!!! she was sooooooooooooooooo cute!!! her mom had a booth set up to the left of us :) they were great
..uum there was a lot of randomness ha
this was my husband and my favorite piece, -this enormous, freestanding sculpture. it was really cool because the festival was out in a huge field and this sculpture was out on its own and you had to walk a ways to get to it; i think where it was located also added to its already monumental and unearthly feel
