4/5/07 Fiberplay 2007
Today I researched and submitted four works to Fiberplay 2007.
This is a showing of artwork held at the Creative Spirit Center http://www.creative spiritcenter. org/ in Midland, Mi (on the east side of the state near the thumb). There is not very much in the way of prize money (only $500.00 total, but this is interesting to me as this could end up in a solo show or teaching opportunity at best and at least, give me a chance to meet new fiber atists.
Here is the actual "Call for Artists."
