I have been working on this commission pretty steadily this summer. It is finally finished, approved by the client and ready to go to her home. Yippee!!!
I am now moving on to getting small pieces together for various galleries and and the Fine Art of Fiber Show which will take place in Early November at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. My pal Shelley and I are running a table in the boutique for the first time this year on top of our regular contribution of work to the main show. This is a truly beautiful show and well worth the trip if you are in the Chicago area this fall.
Additionally, I am working on a large heron pieces for shows jurying later in the year.
My daughter leaves early next week for 9 month’s study in Japan. After I have my emotional meltdown, I will settle down and get some work done.
Fall always feels like the beginning of the new year for me. I guess it’s all those years attending and working in the schools.
What projects do you have planned this fall?
