CHA and My Moment of Fame



This was my 15 minutes of fame. Well maybe 30 minutes and not widespread fame, just in my little art world here at CHA. I was lucky enough to do a book signing and demo at the F&W Media booth. I arrived at the booth to a nice line of people waiting for the 9 free books they were passing out. The first nine people in line got them and they were such a nice group from all over the country. After signing and chatting, I went on to do a short demo and answer questions. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed talking with my little crowd of creatives.
The top picture is a 4' tall piece I did for the booth prior to the show. I had a couple of small pieces displayed also and as a result Hobby Lobby picked up the book! It helped that they could see the actual art.
After the signing I was off to the Prima booth where more goodness happened but that will have to wait for another day!

  4. Julie, so good to see you at CHA. I loved catching up with you and seeing your incredible creations at Prima and F&W. CONGRATS on the Hobby Lobby pick up! That is excellent. Hope to catch a class with you again soon, but until then, will be drawing inspiration from my own copy of your wonderful book.
