Back From Vacation

We're back from vacation.

Four pieces sold at the Worldcon art show. Three of them were Julie's dragon pieces, one raku, one stoneware, and one porcelain, and had bids for a couple of days. The last was one of my rockets, the "Lunar Queen", and it sold after the normal bidding closed. I didn't realize that I had had a sale until I was doing an inventory as we were packing up to leave.

We received a lot of positive comments about our work on the last day.

The sales don't nearly cover our expenses for the trip, but we never thought that they would. We need to plan ahead a little better, and also need to put something together, like a photo album, to educate people on the raku process.

We have identified three conventions in the next six months that we would like to attend, and talked with the art show directors for two of them, and had an indirect communication with the director of the third. All are within reasonable driving distance (which in this family means within four hundred miles).
