I am thrilled to announce that my silk & resin sculpture Enlightened Flower has been accepted into the Silk Painter's International (SPIN) Silk-in-Transitions Art Show - which will be held at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!  I am honored and excited to have one of my pieces accepted into such an amazing show!!  The Silk-in-Transitions art show takes place during the SPIN conference and while I'm sad that I can't personally attend, it's exciting to know that my artwork will!  My artwork will be available for viewing from October 1st, 2016 through November 5th, 2016.  Thank you SPIN!!  I can't wait to see pictures of the show!!

I am continuing to work on my bowls - which I am hoping to enter in the Fiber Fusion travelling exhibition... which is being produced by the Washington State Surface Design Association .   In the mean time, I was asked to help test their online entry system (which was a nice honor!).  It's working great!! AND the call is now open, so if you are interested in participating in the Fiber Fusion show, you have until March 20th, 2016 to enter (you do HAVE to be an SDA member to apply...so get that done first!).  Here's my latest photo shoot for one of the bowls.  Trying to figure out which background etc, I like best.  So far I've taken about 200 pictures - trying different angles, backgrounds, and ephemera.  I'll show you the one I end up using later.  :)   I may even use it to apply to the SPIN image contest for their 2016 festival !  Wish me luck! I like the button necklace -it demonstrates how see-through the bowl really is ...
