I’ve sent in two applications for shows this year. I’m only applying to three this year — between weaving lots of baby wraps and having my house on the market, it seems like about all I can handle, since those 3 applications represent 5 shows. In fact, I worry about producing enough work for these shows – but I have that same worry every year and it always works out. So just one more application to go.
I got something like 48 images from the professional photographer of the four pieces I took to him; I had to narrow it down to a manageable — and affordable — six.
I had brought him two props this year: Dolly and a metal stand I call Rod Man. (Prior years he just draped them all over a bar.) Rod Man was a last minute afterthought on my part – I figured Dolly would be the best. He draped Rod Man with a camera drape to eliminate some of the distraction of the stand itself – a good call on his part.
For jurying, I wanted all the backgrounds to be the same so there was no distraction to the eye. But for 2 of the pieces I really didn’t like the way they looked on Dolly, so I chose all 4 from Rod Man for the jury. You’re seeing 2 of each since they’re my favs.
We’ll see how the juries respond.
Stunning work and the photography shows it off to its absolute best !~! Dynamite entries and Congrats on the Master Artisan decree; you deserve it.

Thanks, Margaret & Anne. It’s nice to have such supportive friends!
My gosh, Peg, these are museum or art gallery pieces, worth hundreds of dollars each!
Truly, you are an artist.
WOW!! the glam shots are stunning! I especially LOVE the first blue scarf!!
You are the weaver woman of weavy City!
Thanks, Alma & Judy. These shots are why it’s important to use a professional photographer for the jury. I never could have taken photos this good.
WOW WOW WOW – absolutely stunning Peg! Each shot is spectacular and all are sure to please the juries. Thanks for sharing such beautiful shots of your work!
Wow – #1’s my favorite – no, #3 – but then, look at #2 – I guess the blues outrank the others, but they’re all pretty terrific, Miss Margaret!!
