A Night At the Gallery

Sorry I've been so deliquent in posting. It's not that I've had too little to say, rather, there's been so much going on that I haven't had time to post.

So, I've decided to just bite the bullet and post some pictures without much text -- just to memorialize the events.

To celebrate the Weaver's Guild of Greater Cincinnati's 60th anniversary year, we were invited to create a show for display at the Salveo Gallery in Cincinnati. All the pieces that were included in the show were selected by the gallery curator and mine was one of the ones picked! It's the black and white scarf that says "red red red" in illusion knitting. From the front, you only see black and white stripes. (See the picture below where the scarf is viewed straight on over some other pieces.) When viewed from the side, though, the words magically appear. Barbara named the piece "Seeing Red" when it was on display at the Guild House, and I think that's a great name.

Opening night at the gallery, we had a lush buffet of snacks and drinks. It was lovely. Mary Anne Caplinger received an award from the Handweaver's Guild of America (HGA) for her woven kimono.
The remaining pictures show only part of the beautiful display of craftmanship and artistry created by the Weaver's Guild. These are some talented people!!

Next entry will be about my fabulous adventures at Knitter's Connection. Stay tuned!
