Speaking of calendars, there are so many great things going on this week that I have to keep checking mine to keep them all straight. Here's a recap of all the fun.
This Thursday, November 26th, I will be speaking to the members of the Canadian Embroiderers' Guild in London, ON about my experiences as a fibre artist. It is a huge honour for me to address this group of highly talented and diverse textile artists and I expect to be learning a lot myself.
On Thursday evening, the Square Foot and Big Ideas Show opens at the Paula White Diamond Gallery in Waterloo, ON. Erika from PWD says that opening night is often lined up because people know they are going to get original, one of a kind artwork at an unbeatable price. Keep an eye out for my piece called 'California Succulents.'

Most notable of these is 'Blossoms on Gold'. The photo below doesn't quite capture the sheen of the gold yarn properly. There is real 'lux' feel to this piece, both in the reflective quality and the colours, that reminds me of a Klimpt.

So much going on and, in the midst of it, I am working on...grant applications. Sigh. Maybe I'll dig out my Christmas playlist and make another pot of tea. Have a fun week, everybody!
