I was very happy with my first vending experience, at EGAD in Bloom. It was definitely a LOT of work, but it was also a lot of fun. This photo shows my display. The room was a little dark, but an overhead light happened to shine exactly on my two center quilts. Click any image […]
In preparation for my upcoming vending event, I’m making price tags for everything. At first, I followed the typical exhibit-style wording, listing just dimensions and materials. But then I thought “Is that what people really want to know?” I asked myself the question, “If I were standing next to someone admiring this piece, what would […]
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know a lot of my art features Florida foliage.

Did I mention I was going to do a TV interview? Well, last night was the night. After lots of preparation with my co-interviewee, Dij Pacarro, we were anxious to talk about fiber art on “Focus on Art,” a local show. It ended up being rather fun, and we were both pleased with it. (Although we haven’t […]
