I know how stressful it is trying to get work finished up AND get your space ready. But it was worth it and I was glad I left a few "in progress" pieces lying about. People are always interested in process. Good luck with it all - we'll be anxiously awaiting your report and whether or not you elicit any emotional responses. :-)<br /><br />As for the Sacred Threads Exhibit - I don't think they have the traveling venues locked in yet. At least I can't find any list at this point and in the past I've noted that venues get added as time goes on. The last exhibit did get within about 6 hours of me and another year it was a little farther away but doable as I had friends in the area. Alas, life prevented me from getting to either of those. However, I do hope I get a chance to see this one and will make every effort if it makes it to my side of the States! I did note that they plan to publish a book of the exhibit so if nothing else, I will purchase that - next best thing to being there.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-31351556770818382712015-05-03T08:37:34.278+01:002015-05-03T08:37:34.278+01:00Thanks Sheila.

I will take that as a real complement - my good friend Rob says he thinks that handmade books are 'my thing' and maybe they are where my true soul is embedded. I hope to get one more in for the Open Studio. I've spent most of the weekend so far tidying and sorting. But I could crack I today and give it a real push. <br /><br />Wish I could get over and see this exhibition. Will you actually see it? Is it coming to a venue close enough for you? <br /><br />Living to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-48553470932108999432015-05-01T20:21:50.332+01:002015-05-01T20:21:50.332+01:00So glad you took the time to explore the website a...So glad you took the time to explore the website and discover what this particular exhibit is all about. No awards, no judging, just a safe place to share your deepest emotions expressed in fiber. Thanks for inbedding the videos too - I haven't watched them in a long time.<br /><br />Not sure if I agree with your assessment of where you are on your own creative journey. I'd say several of your handmade books do elicit an emotional response more than just what a lovely thing. But not many of us achieve the level of Annabel who is dealing with such important issues with such technical skill and design sense, I'd have to admit. She astounds me.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-1716836589378707942015-05-01T07:12:07.703+01:002015-05-01T07:12:07.703+01:00Thanks Iz, and we can continue our quest together!...Thanks Iz, and we can continue our quest together!
