Arden Fair 2025

 Still the only local fair I do! The weather was PERFECT this year!

Oh yeah, I did do a handful of silhouettes:

And I wore my new t-shirt!

Arden Fair 2024

 It's the only Fair I do...because it is just one day, has a wonderful, folksy atmosphere, 

and it's close to home (in northern Delaware)!

Another "only": I provide both caricatures AND silhouettes here...and Arden Fair is always the Saturday before Labor Day.

Proudly wearing my ISCA hat!

Every year I am neighbors with a wonderful wreath artist, she always sells most of her inventory because her stuff is so whimsical! She made a silhouette lady with gray hair just for me!

Here's some of my output this year!

This couple went whole hog and got BOTH caricatures and silhouettes of themselves!!

After a long day at the Fair, the tradition is that my husband takes me out for Mexican food at La Toltecas. MMMMMMM, that margarita was good!!

Arden Fair 2023

 The ONLY Fair I do--my local one!

It was a nice, warm day weather-wise, not too hot...so people were out in droves! yay!

Arden Fair 2021

 I don't do fairs anymore...unless they are five minutes from home! This is a very long-tenured local arts festival held in Arden, Delaware every year (not 2020 of course). It's in a little village of quirky little homes on tiny one-lane roads, with a park and a theater. And was it fun! I did mostly color caricatures all day long, with my new friend Susan, drawing her retro pen & ink drawings, sharing the booth with me. 

Even though it was close by, this is how early I had to get myself on the road to go set up...but on leaving my house, I got to see a beautiful pink sunrise and four moonflowers still in bloom...

My next door neighbor on the right sold costume jewelry...as soon as I spied these, I said SOLD!!!! Perfect for a silhouette artist!

On the other side was a tie-dye artist, so I bought something from her too, a new mask...

OK here is some of my output that day!

Here's the one pic I got of Susan...gotta admire a lady doing a crazy-busy fair not long after a hip replacement!!

Fun day!!!! Afterwards my hubby, Susan and I went to a Mexican place so she and I could have huge Margaritas :-)
