Back in July ABK studio decided to "represent" at Milwaukee's Gallery Night. I took one of the studio table looms (hereafter designated the marketing or traveling loom) to the Third Ward and set up by the fountain off Broadway. It was a lovely evening and I was able to weave from 6 to 8ish, when it started to become hard on the eyes. Besides being nervous and not having any signs out, I thought it went very well. I was able to hand out some bookmarks for the weaving center and talk to a wide range of people. It is difficult for strangers to approach and I realize that they never quite new if they should throw some change in my basket. Yes, I did have a basket but it was only to hold my necessary tools. Next time it will be easier and who knows? Maybe next time I won't be alone.
(note to self: remember to never wear your hair like that again. did you even comb it?)
can't wait for the next event.. maybe center street daze we can weave there, maybe art walk we can we in front of the house.. however i will not be weaving in the streets in january...
