Well I have just finished my first year and can I just say it was so much fun! Yes I am very VERY sore all over, but it was worth it in the end (and it was for a great cause!). It was amazing how many people were there. I got some great comments, and my piece was a big hit with the kids.
Let me just say though it was not all smooth sailing, when I started Friday afternoon I was a nervous mess. When I had checked in and found my spot I saw who I was next to, one of the features artists (he had been asked to be there) and his piece was already amazing which only added to my nerves. I was shaking all over and I must have started over my piece 5 or 6 times. And each time I started over I felt myself getting closer to a breakdown. My mom had to finally just tell me to just get it down and it will all work out (thanks mom). Well after I got it drawn, roughly, and started putting some color down I started to feel a little more relaxed. Thence husband Keith came and started to help me, and that was a major blessing because he calmed me down and he was able to help me get more done so I didn't have to stay super late or come super early.
It was a great experience, hard but good. I am sore and my pointer finger on my right hand feels like it has been filed down to the bone. But it has been great! Looking forward to next year!
