A Step Forward, hopefully

My "Enuff on My Plate" wall hanging has been accepted into the juried art show at Coast Collective, Memory, Family, History.

They do say that acceptance does not guarantee that the piece will actually be hung, which I can understand given that submission was via e-mail photos. But this is the first time I've tried to be in a juried show, so it's all pretty exciting.

It's especially exciting because this is an art show so most of the pieces will be paintings -- I feel like I'm on the cutting edge (make that the rotary cutting edge!) of working for acceptance of fibre art as "real serious" art.

HOURS/PRODUCTIVITY

Last week: 38.40 hours
week before: 34.40 hours

I don't expect anyone else to take much interest in that, but having it out there for all to see encourages me to keep making the effort, even on the days like yesterday when everyone's schedule went to #~!! in a handbasket!

Fingers Crossed!

This is Enuff on my Plate, my response to the mandala challenge the Mavericks had. I've entered it in a juried art show at the Coast Collective. The theme of the show is Memory, Family, History, and this piece fits all three, so we'll see.

It's the first time I've entered a juried art show so who knows what will happen. I won't know until April 19th. I'm aware that my pieces are one-offs and distinctive looking, so it very much depends what the jury is looking for. It was exhibited already in Phoenix in 2007 in the Mavericks show.
