Review of "Cotton Candy Bunny Ears"

This is what happens when you create a pithy title for your exhibition...... (you can either click on the title of this blog entry or cut/paste the following URL: http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/entertainment/16549740.htm).

I'm still working on the "You Made Your Bed" piece, but tomorrow and tonight I have to begin getting my act together for the workshop @ the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. Yesterday I worked on my homemade thank-you cards (my secret weapon, and fun brainless activity). I ordered some slides, hopefully which will arrive this week, for exhibition submissions, and in February I have two workshops to prep for, one listed below.

This is a great workshop for people who don't want to commit a ton of time to learning these techniques. It's a good, basic, quick study in the techniques I use in my textile assemblages. The sewing, quilting, embroidery, and embellishing techniques are all hand-worked, no sewing machines used (allowed! ha, ha).
