It took me an hour and a half to get everything right. Real fun in a tiny little room with no air circulation! I *was* ready to strip off my shirt and go bra-ed only, but that’s not the kind of Artist’s Body “statement” i want to make
It helped a little that i left the front floods off until i was done and all the tools out, but barely. As i was photographing, i was wiping sweat from my dimpled brow and blowing down the bosom front to cool off the girls……….
In a way, it looks sparse, floor wise at least, but at the same time, everything has its place and can be seen without distraction. It’s hard to believe there’s a year and a bit worth of work in here!

Overheard in my head:
I don’t know why arlee was so upset about the setting up part. Twit.

Well, you know, I don’t like saying ‘I told you so’, but really, everything was fine, wasn’t it?
Your work looks fabulous.

Sorry about that. Smiling and winking wasn’t such a good idea.

Arlee:
Thank you for sharing your experience with this exhibit. Your work is *stunning* and I will not soon understand rejection in the art world or quilt art world or fiber art world or the world in general.
