Sunday was the first time I tried out my new display for real, thankfully everything fit in my tiny car and wasn’t too much hassle to transport.
A new look for my Espy Art stall!
My stall was complemented a few times throughout the day which was lovely, and I’m glad I added a few autumnal touches that just so happened to match the Halloween decorations hung around the venue.
I was still using a lot of the same elements as previous displays, just slightly rearranged to accommodate the large frame where I hung examples of my sketches.
I think the black and white tablecloth/runner combo looks really smart and one last minute idea was adding card ‘frames’ to disguise the tablets that showed slideshows of my work.
I was busy drawing lots of adorable pets for most of the event and this time I upgraded to an easel instead of being hunched over the table – my back thanks me for that!
Some sweet dogs came over to say hello, always the highlight of any event, and my own dogs stopped by for a while too.
Check out my calendar and maybe catch me at a future event.
How I created my ‘Pet Portrait Commissions’ sign
Very pleased with how my hand-painted sign turned out, I’ve never been the best at lettering but as long as it can be read from a distance, I’m happy! I found a pack of discounted white Posca pens while shopping and ended up using all the sizes to achieve the look I wanted. The sign itself was a blank hanging chalkboard I picked up in a charity shop a while ago, now it finally has a purpose.
