Doing the Happy Dance!

I set several goals for myself

after completing Jane Dunnewold's

Art Cloth Mastery program last Spring.

One was to begin entering my work

in juried shows.

I know many artists who do this 

all the time,

and their wonderful works are accepted!

I completed "Second Stage"

with the intention of entering it in the 

Sacred Threads 2013 exhibit

in Herndon, Virginia.

.....and I've just received notification

that it was juried in!

This is a piece that I dyed and printed

over and over again

during the last weeks of my Mom's life.

She was in hospice care,

and although she was 94 and had lived a 

very good and full life,

I was angry that she was leaving me.

After she passed away,

I couldn't even look at this piece,

nor its four companions that all held my hands

during those last weeks.

But I'm now taking them out

and doing a lot of slow work embroidery on them.

It's therapeutic.

Thanks for dropping by!

Have a great weekend!

peace to you!!
