I really enjoyed meeting everyone and the three-hour reception just flew by. I was amazed by how many people came in off the street to have a look.
It was a great chance to help broadcast the merits of bento, and wonderful to see lightbulbs going off in people's heads as they got inspired to do their own thing. People were also very interested in information about natural food colorings and a lot of people took literature on the colorings with them. The sake and plum wine at the wine bar were also greatly enjoyed ;)
Having a gallery show was a wonderful experience and I'm really grateful to have that opportunity. The opening reception was a lot of fun.
My bento images (not the fresh ones, but the photos) will be hanging in the Art Space of Yellow Springs, 108 Dayton Street, until mid-August. The gallery was open to the public on that first evening, but by appointment the rest of the time. If you'd like to see what's there, email me or the Arts Council...I can open up the gallery if there's a free spot on their schedule.
Here are some photos from the opening reception. Thanks again, everyone :)

the show is wonderful and I am glad you agreed to do it. Hope you all had a fun party later, and not too exhausted. Thanks

Thanks for everything you and the rest of the Arts Council did, Corrine :) If I'd known you were a fellow licorice-fanatic I'd have thrown a bowl of allsorts out with the other snacks.
