I absolutely love this festival! I grew up in Newport News so coming back to do the festival just warms my heart. I have been on the juried side in the past, and my mom has been on the marketplace side BUT since they are moving to Wisconsin I decided that I wanted to be in my mom's place this year. My mom has taught adult art classes through the NN Parks and Rec for 40+ years so she has a huge following in Newport News. Since she is moving I wanted to do this for all of her students who want to keep up with her and my dad and their new adventures closer to my brother and his family.
Because I was on the marketplace side this year I was able to combine my sewing and painting talents under one tent. Had I been on the juried side I would have to pick one category. I realized a long time ago that my brain doesn't work like that, I am definitely all over the place when it comes to my artistic endeavors. Here are a few photos of my tent at the Fall Festival:
Thanks for stopping by!
