Ely, MN Harvest Moon Festival


Another successful show in Ely the weather was extremely warm for this time of year.  I cannot believe it was in the high 80’s! 



Thank you Ely for your hospitality I had wonderful sales and met some fantastic people that I hope become friends. 



A fellow artist and friend Betsey Harris took these photos of my booth while in Ely.





What is up next?  Well I am glad you asked!  October 1st and 2nd I will be East Grand Forks for the Arts and Crafts Fair.  This will be my second year participating in this event. 




I have been working on new designs!  I have a new male hummingbird kaleidoscope, monarchs, grasshopper, frogs and more!  I will be releasing these next year and phasing out some of my older designs.



Until next time dear friends,

Mel

Kings Gardens and the Arts Of 84 Art Crawl

This is the first year I participated in this event as an artist and I must say it exceeded my wildest dreams!  King Gardens is a beautiful setting for an art fair and the proprietor, and Lissa Sumption was a fantastic host for this event.  The attendance to this event was nonstop art enthusiasts who made this event not only successful but just downright fun to be a vendor!  I cannot wait until next year!  If you are in the Longville, MN area you simply must stop by this lovely garden. 

Next weekend, September 9-11th I will be participating in Ely’s Harvest Moon Festival.  I had a successful show last year and have many new designs and products to show this year.  I cannot wait to visit with my Ely friends again…it has just been too long.  A fellow artist Betsy Harries, Sweetgrass Trading company, will also be attending and she creates the most amazing felt people.  I have a few photos here showing her amazing work. 


I have been doing a lot of maintenance on my website, www.kaleidoscopephotoart.com  and hope that you will stop by and watch a slide show of my artwork on the front page.  You can also place an order, or request a special order while on the site.  On the contact page, there is a place for you to leave a comment if you like. 
Have a wonderful day,
Mel
