Too Long Since My Last Posting!

I have been invited to show my work at my favorite bead shop in Huntsville, Al, BELLA BEADS for their "Holiday" show--will be among other bead artists offering special gift items!!!...

I will be offering my necklaces and bracelets, and a few framed "stitcheries" that I will soon get photographed on this blog!...Since the move to Monteagle, the art has progressed too slowly!!!...but I am fired up now!!!...

HOW I DISPLAY MY ART-INDOOR & OUTDOOR, UNDER A TENT

I am often asked how I display my quilt art in offering it for sale...

As this is art for the wall, I display on artist easels, with

foam core boards attached to the easels--then my art

is hung directly on the foam core board as a backdrop--

with the same idea of hanging it directly on a wall,

as any painting would be hung. An example is below,

with this being an indoor venue--but I display exactly the

same when at an outdoor venue, under my artist tent.

Huntsville Housing Developement Reception

Photos taken at the reception for those attending the

Huntsville Housing Developments, Inc. Seminar...

one of Huntsville's local florist, Glenn's, designed a

"neighborhood" for my "houses"!

It was incredibly beautiful, with real grass, trees,

flowers, fences, gates, butterflies and more.

I was so impressed with the display!!!

(See individual "houses" below)

"WHAT MAKES A HOUSE A HOME..." Series

"An Investment in Family...

An Investment in Community...

The Good Business of Affordable Housing..."

A seminar of affordable housing is being presented

in Huntsville by the Huntsville Housing Developments, Inc.,

on Thursday and Friday, February 7-8, 2008.

I was honored with a commission of my "House" series,

that will be the centerpiece of the reception room,

with the individual "houses" being presented

as gifts to the guest speakers of the seminar by HHD.

Again, I am so honored to have my art chosen

as a representational theme in support

of such an important project for Huntsville

in strenghtening families and our community.
