Today we went to the 41st Annual American Artisan Festival in Nashville, not to be confused with a craft fair. There was no sign of crocheted potholders or plastic canvas tissue covers or clothing for 18" dolls or glass grapes. There were lots of very artsy people selling amazing stuff (in the rain) for a lot of money.
Howard and I spent a LOT of time laughing in Lorri Honeycutt's tent. Her work is brilliant. We bought an 11" x 14" inch print of this one. You've GOT to check out her gallery and make sure you read the captions!
Wayne Kirkpatrick was selling really clever clocks he made from vintage game boards.
Howard spent a lot of time talking to and admiring Bob Copeland's photography. The pictures on his website don't do justice to his work. Some of the prints are 30" x 60" and he does a lot of post processing to get a unique look. He told us that it took him four years worth of trips to Italy to get this shot. Poor him, right?
By the way, we stumbled upon this festival last year when we were out here for our house hunting trip. We can't believe that it's already been a year since that trip!
Being a cook would definitely be stressful. Somehow, though, it will all work out. You'll be fabulous and the girls will LOVE you! Good luck...may there be zero cicadas at camp. :)
