Back in October, I suggested that i would enter three or four Items in the Art Centers Holiday show. A painting some silver bracelets... Actually only one bracelet made it in. I'm still working on a choker and a cast metal pendant. Earlier in the summer Anna Sauer suggested that i put some of my other work in since she had inquiries about things shown in the Anita London case. I reduced the prices in July to make them more saleable. 103 dollars each. The bracelet that was submited for the members show was priced at 385 Just before Christmas I was informed that two pieces had sold. from the original consignment. I was told that checks would be issued in mid January. Today I recieved acheck for 56.65 as payment for one piece shown in the holiday exhibition. The commission is supposed to be 65/35 did they deduct sales tax? change the commision? charge what they thought it was worth.? What a ripoff! Ive spent more than that in studio fees and membership dues alone. not to mention gas money.
Now the Center has a beautiful glass show to coincide with the Chihuly exhibit at the Fine Art Museum, and an ongoing series of master workshops called Hot Glass
