In writing this addition I noticed that I haven’t added anything for the past 7 months or so. All I can say is I have had lots going on, not all good.
On the good side I entered my barn owl into the 2011 Albuquerque Fiber Arts Fiesta. It’s a biennial show that has many different fiber related competitions, educational activities, guilds and vendors. Among the different areas were crocheting, beadwork, embroidery, lacemaking, quilting, sewing, weaving and spinning and dollmaking.
I sent in a few photos to the entry committee to find out where I should enter my owl. “We’re not sure it looks like ‘Mixed media dolls, original design’”. “Otherwise we’ll find the appropriate place for him”.
Long story short I won a blue ribbon! He was up against all kinds of traditional dolls and still won.
On to the next show, 2013
Thank you for stopping by.
