The Great Graves goes to Albuquerque (nice alliteration?)

Want you all to know that on October 9,10,11, I’ll be at the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There’s a great art fair as part of that event, and I’ve been invited to participate in it. Now, as you might imagine, I’m looking over my art, and trying to imagine it being relevant in the South. Of course, it’s relevant no matter where it is, but an artist must display a degree of fear and doubt about upcoming shows. I’m still waiting for comments from folks around the country who are visiting this site. I would enjoy your input regarding my art, my products, my style, and my site.
By the way, I have added products to my fabric line. First of all, the only fabric I’m using is recycled soda pop bottles… the plastic ones. ( I have this vision of 2 boys fighting over a bottle of pop, grabbing at the bottle, and running in opposite directions, stretching the plastic until it’s essentially a long string, whereupon a wise girl walks by and decides to weave that long string into a piece of fabric. OK, I know it’s not that ideal, but what a story!) Anyway, using that fabric, I now have some really great looking bath curtains, and table runners, as well as fiber posters. Also, along with my ceramice tiles, I have added cutting board/ trivets, made of tempered glass. The brain just never shuts down! Except when Mary asks me an important question. Then it’s like a mid-air stall.
After Albuquerque, I’ll be back in Minnesota, and the last weekend of October, I’ll be doing an art crawl in Owatonna, MN, at the home of my friends, Sue and Greg Peoples, aka: Peoples’ Beads. Then in November, I’ll be doing Pastimes, a holiday show at the Owatonna Arts Center, and then in December, I’ll be at the Goldsmith Reunion and Holiday Sale, at he Civic Center in Mankato, MN. I’l try to remind you all of these events as we get closer to them .
Ok, enough rambling this morning. Take Care my good friends
