Gallery Q Exhibit Opens TONIGHT!

'Black White Red Monoprint' from Roberta Lane and Julsbeads - yummy!

Wish you all were here.

No, really. I wish you were.

I can see clearly now with 'After the Storm' by Ann Waisbrot

You have all been so excited for me and supportive that I can't help but feel giddy. And blessed. Truly, deeply blessed by your friendship. Because I have the BEST followers on the planet! Plus those of you who do this too would totally understand the blood, sweat and more than a few tears that went into all of this. I can sigh with relief, but that is really just taking a deep breath for the next big thing.

I rushed over yesterday and took some really {craptastic} photos of the displays. These will at least give you an idea of the lay of the land.

I was really surprised {and pleased} that I could take up more than just one window. I have almost the entire front half of the gallery. {Squee!}

The window grabs 'em and beckons them in with 'Loose Goose' by Brenda Wenberg and Kerry Bogert's magnificent beads!

The Suzuki Institute is on campus here at the UW-Stevens Point this week and that is the reason that I already have ~$800++ in sales since Tuesday. One woman from Maine {Maine!} bought 8 pieces for sales of nearly $600. {That woman will be getting her own box of chocolates when I mail them to her at the close of the show!} I am hoping she comes back. And brings friends.

'Siljan Glade' by Ann Singsaas and the inspiration pieces (great flash photography!)

I will hopefully have more pictures of the event {if I can find someone willing to take them} that I can share with you next week.

'Bittersweet' by Ann Singsaas with vines climbing everywhere

But between my 2 hour massage this morning {thanks, Al!} and my hair appointment in about an hour, I felt the need to MAKE MORE JEWELRY. Unfortunately, I don't think there can ever been enough. {Don't worry, I only managed two very simple pieces. But I am bringing them with just in case. }

'Lookin' Good' by Brenda Wenberg and a colorful interpretation called 'It's a Riot'

Thanks for all your well wishes, your birthday shout outs and your deep appreciation for what I have done with this show. It means the world to me!

If you could have a party in your honor, what would you serve?
Who would be there?
Where would you hold it?

Do tell!

That's me in the window with 'Red Ponies' by Ann Singsaas

Enjoy the day!
