R.L. Gibson has a finger on the pulse of the juried art show, and keeps us apprised of new developments in very regular fashion...and with taste! You might wonder about the eggs. Believe it or not, this is a food blog! Wow. Fun reading, even when it is not about me. - Yes- me. I am celebrating this week, to have been chosen to be a "Featured Artist" by Gibson!

In addition to finding great show opportunities, it is an honor to be "exposed" here.

Excited!

Well, i just opened my mail to find a very nice surprise...I have won an award.

Just last week, I posted about the Fiber Celebrated Exhibit in Durango, CO. I was so disappointed i was not able to attend. I had hoped to fly out to Colorado Springs and drive down to the opening with my mom, who lives out there. But it was not to be. I so wish i could have been there! My woven figure, "Naturally Endowed," which was shown on their postcard (at right,) was awarded the Functional 3-d Fiber Award! I am so pleased and proud.

Special Thanks to Elaine Bakkenson, who coordinated the exhibit, and made sure all the promotional materials and awards were distributed even though i was not there to recieve them in person!

The Fiber Celebrated Exhibit on line information also features my other piece that is in the exhibit, "Uprooted."
