I was accepted to be one of an elite group of artisans, the Roycroft Renaissance Artisans.<\/p>\n<p>Many people know that Elbert Hubbard was very influential in the promotion of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arts_and_Crafts_Movement\" target=\"_blank\">Arts &#038; Crafts Movement<\/a>.  As a way to create a geographic home for the American artists and craftspeople mastering their creative forms, Hubbard founded the Roycroft community in East Aurora, NY in the late 1800s.  <\/p>\n<p>Almost 80 years later, in 1976, a group of dedicated people formed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ralaweb.com\" target=\"_blank\">Roycrofters-At-Large Association<\/a> (RALA).  Since then RALA has accepted applications from artists and crafters who have both shown a level of skill in their field and are committed to continued growth.  The application process includes slides, actual work samples, and written information.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, I am extremely proud to be able to call myself a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan!  I was just noticed a few days ago, and am amazed that they&#8217;ve already updated their website to include me along with the other paper, fiber, &#038; weaving Artisans.  I will definitely be participating in their summer show, and probably the winter show, as well.  You can find details on the RALA website or on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondwindjewelry.com\/shows.htm\" target=\"_blank\">mine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To maintain my standing, I will be juried each year for the next five years, demonstrating that I&#8217;m expanding my weaving skills, using new techniques, new fibers, creating new designs.  I gratefully accept this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>I really need to make some changes to my website now, minimizing the jewelry (I was only juried on my weaving) and putting the logo on each of my weaving pages!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your turn: who recognizes the value of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> I am prouder than proud.
