Michele: You have done a great job - congratulations!

How do you attach your signs to the tent? Did you design the signs and give the info to Kinko's on a zip disk and have them print it out? Or did they do the entire thing? Are they printed on a waterproof banner material? All 4 sides?

Also, on props, what do you feel would be effective "quality" props? Display easel? Vase of flowers? In the show I just had, I only had one portrait to show and the rest of my work was still life and landscape.

Interestingly enough, all 5 paintings I sold were hung at eye level. Maybe in the future, I'll only hang a row at eye level and not hang so many things...sometimes less is more. Any thoughts on this?

Although I think it is a good idea, I don't plan to demo at shows as that would drive me nuts. I tried this at PSOA in Washington with Genesis paintslast year. I accomplished virtually nothing at the easel as there were so many people to chat with.
