I took one of my umbrella's to the opening  who is that peeking through the fringe ?….

my student Antoinette 's pieces were displayed beautifully

as were Lea's skeins

I met Antoinette's family and I am sooo happy that I helped and encouraged her to submit some of her amazing pieces. She has only been taking classes from me  and started  to weave since  Jan. of this year. Great work!!
