This award actually has some cash value - $100! Whoopee! That'll pay for some more yarn! DH was curious why my piece was in the "mixed media" category. Well, probably because this is an Art exhibit, and the folks who sponsor Art exhibits don't know what weaving is all about, so there isn't often a "Fiber" category. No matter. This is the first time I've gotten any recognition in an Art exhibit, so I'm happy. No, actually, I'm delighted.
In the meantime, back down to earth, I've been working on this image of a Bird of Paradise plant blooming in my in-laws' garden:

Fantastic! Congratulations!! And what a great lesson for those art exhibition organisers :-)
Congratulations! Weaving as art? What a novel idea :-)
Yes, congratulations. And the new "Birds" are looking mighty intriguing.
Congrats!!! I hope it leads to more cognization.

Congratulations! The category dilemma brought back memories of when I had my weaving studio at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts. It always made me chuckle when the other artists brought their friends down and said "look! we have a weaver!" I had to work with them mightily to have a podium to exhibit my rugs on and sometimes yielded to their desire to hang work on the wall. A reminder that we do have different points of view! Deb Mc
