WayneG Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 I am... At a cool little breakfast and brunch cafe in my local town of new Westminster just outside of Vancouver. I hung 16 pieces up this morning before it opened to customers. Lots of interest after day one. Wicked comments, gonna go have brunch in the morning to hang out, going to go solo and hang out at the breakfast bar... I have enough pieces to rotate stock all month... wombatie, lawson56, jbrowning and 4 others 7 Quote

Len actually there are simply hung by 19 gauge wire from a nail at the top of the wall that is driven into a half inch piece of wood that runs the length of the cafes wall. The owner did not want people anchoring over and over in his wall for obvious reasons. So I staggered them in length so I could get more pieces in. I have a wire going from the sawtooth hanger to the nail and I also placed two screw eyelet things on either side of the top of the piece and strung wire through that as well for safety reasons...its not pretty but I did not want a piece of my heavy art crashing on a customer....LOL.. I went today and spent an hour or so and as soon as I walked in there were two customers talking about the pieces and one of the staff indicated they should ask the artist, he just walked in. Later the owner made an announcement and it was pretty cool . Lots of folks talking to me about my pieces and that they have not seen or heard such a buzz in the restaurant about the artist of the month that has been going on for several years now. Young boy 11 years old admired the Yoda piece I made, he left a happy 11 year old boy...all in all it was really fun. wombatie, Lucky2, bobscroll and 1 other 4 Quote
dgman Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Sounds like a wonderful experience! You have posted some great projects recently, so it's no wonder everyone was so excited! Quote
EarltheScroller Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Sounds like a lot of interest. What a privilege to have a gallery showing. Quote
Scrappile Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Very neat and congratulations. Nice of the cafe to do that also. It must help bring in customers and give an artist a chance to get due recognition. Win win. Quote

WayneG Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) its fun every time I go to the cafe and swap out some pieces or simply just hang out. A definite buzz and lots of great conversation and compliments about the work I am displaying. Edited September 11, 2017 by WayneG Quote
heppnerguy Posted September 16, 2017 Report Posted September 16, 2017 It is customer reactions like these that really make the time spent cutting them so worth while. Dick heppnerguy Quote
