F is for Fork(plastic type)

F is tough. First,  I thought about foam peanuts-nah.  Then I thought plastic forks or regular ones.  I went with the plastic! 

Oh, you wanna know how the Art Walk went. First, I would like to say a special thank you to Susan from Page After Page.  She is amazing, such a generous spirit!  Zach was kind and set up a table and chair for me.  I enjoyed our chat!   Lisa, it was so nice to meet you~  You made my evening! :D    It was interesting and I learned a lot-no didn't sell much.  It took a lot of courage to go there and even though I didn't sell much, I still am happy I did it.  It has changed a lot since the last time I went. The Arts of the Albemarle goes all out and takes a piano outdoors and performs.  Every shop has snacks, some have wine.  It was a social gathering and I met a lot of nice people.   Over all a good experience! 



I took these before I left...I haven't checked the ones on my phone.  My daughter did end up helping me and she loved the way it looked!  Thank you Angela for all your help :D
I took twine, Forsythia and paper butterflies and decorated.  I had a lot of art dangling off the table with tiny clothes pins.  I even had some of my seedlings on the table to sell.  I used lots of vibrant color and created a spring like feel.  I received a lot of compliments.


I freaked about F...?!   Daughter and her boyfriend suggested folders and then ha, ha fingers.  I guess they noticed mine are usually quite colorful.  lol

So, I took a plastic fork and added Washi tape.  It makes an unique table setting.
Here is mine:

Oh, too messy I mean fussy-I need to fix it.   I used one of my Moo cards.
I mean mini Moo :D 
Do you have Moo
My Moo make intriguing place cards! Who knew Moo could do that, lol~


 
 After I made it I swear I found this.  A fork angel!   I didn't have clear or white forks. I didn't think a red angel would look right, but when I get to the store I am going to buy some more forks and try to make an angel.

Hi Ellen, your fork creation turned out beautiful! Such a clever idea, and definitely something you should send right over to Stampington.

Wow, that is a plastic fork!
See, knew you would have a great time at the Art Walk. Most big towns have really great first Friday art fairs. And sounds like you made some good connections and new friends in the process.

A fork angel is very creative.

I enjoyed reading about your art walk event. Good for you! All exposure is a great thing!

I'm hosting a table with some other authors at a fair this summer. It'll be my first event... I need to think beyond the book...

Whenever I see beautiful craft like this I think it's time to stop writing, time to start doing stuff with my hands. -Belinda [A - Z participant].

Very cool Ella and glad to hear the Artwalk was a good time for you.

Regardless of whether you sold much, you still got your name and face out there and that's a good start!

Hi Ella! This is such an inspiring blog, glad you stopped by mine so I could find you. What a cool idea-I've never thought to use plastic forks in crafts before, but these could actually make really nice place settings for a wedding or something. You're so creative!
