I have four pieces I am taking to the gallery tomorrow. One I can't show as it's also for another event and has to stay hidden till end of May.
I came home and learned how to knot wire to back of frames; printed descriptions of my works, ironed the fabric ones, and glued the paper ones to backs of frames and sewed to back of largest art quilt.
I took them outside to photograph but got lots of refection's on the glass...brought them in to try there and did better...
I love this hanging bar that is antique gold with black lines and the end leaves. Goes so well with the piece.
We can bring them between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is a dilemma, as if you bring them too early they will be the last picked to show, if you bring them too late they may have met their quota and again they won't be shown. So I need to time it just right to be early enough to be in time for the quota and not too early, not too late...Oy. Can you see me sweat?
I say a little prayer for calmness...this is a process. Many pieces will not make it to the judges.
They always get more than they can accept. And if they do make it to the judges they may not be accepted by them. I would like to at least get into the show. But if I don't, well, I will survive.
Put them into bags to protect them on their ride to the gallery tomorrow.
I will live. I will be disappointed of course but so will a lot of other artists. We can't all get in.

I am not taking this piece...I am trying to make the portraits attractive on a background and sat and pinned beads in place and some mesh fabric but not sure it's a done deal yet.
what do you think?
Does everyone have their fingers crossed?
Eyes crossed?
Thanks I know you do!
LOL
