They say to take advantage of every opportunity offered - that life is too short not to.
Recently, I did just that, and had my artwork featured on tv!
I'm really glad that I took the opportunity to get outside of my comfort zone and agreed to be on the show. The 'behind the scenes' look at the running of a news program left a big impression on me too...there are so many people - so many cool nerves! - that make live television seem so seamless!

I really like your new haircolour! And I love the parrot pants. Oh, and cute pumpkin too!
ReplyDeleteThe parrot pants! Can you believe that?! I totally wear them all the time though...
DeleteWow! What an amazing experience Melissa! you were great on tv! (I would have been terrified!!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations... Love your new look!
Aw thanks, Daniela. It was quite daunting, the idea of appearing on live television! I couldn't always hear the news anchors very well but I tried my best to stay calm and relaxed and most importantly, be myself!
Deletewow! That's awesome! Congratulations! lovely art work!

ReplyDeleteSLS, Milex + Mossy: I know! Nothing bad about it, right? I got a lot out of the experience, and a little bit of local exposure to boot!

Fun that you get to go on television, great exposure for your lovely paintings. Like your new look.
ReplyDeleteThat's so amazing! What great exposure and such a long segment too. And you look beautiful! How did you get picked for the makeover?
ReplyDeleteSol, Wilma + Holly: Thanks! I was able to somewhat guide their stylist toward my penchant for "granny-chic"...they ended up going for a MadMen look, which I really did love!
DeleteI got picked from an application I'd put in ages ago...totally forgot about it until I got the call from the show's producer. I learned that if you don't apply, you don't get!
What an amazing opportunity! Good for you!
