I am getting that nervous excited feeling in the pit of my stomach.  Garrett and I are setting up our show this Saturday.  My last few pieces are in the kiln getting fired and there is no time to make any more.  The posters are printed and hanging in the walls of the college and the postcards are waiting to be addressed and mailed out.  This is pretty exciting the show is coming and there is nothing to do but wait for it.

The days are getting shorter and the show is getting closer.  Here is the poster I made announcing the show:

November 9th – 19th in the 5th Floor Gallery of the Utah Valley University Library.  The opening is on the 12th from 6 – 8 pm.

That’s Fra-gee-lee for those of you who are not familiar with the reference.  Inez and I went to the opening for the Utah Statewide Annual Fine Craft and Photography Show.  When we got there we saw Brian Jensen, one of my professors from school who promptly congratulated me.  I said “thank you”, and told him that I was really happy to have been accepted into the show.  He then asked if I was aware that I had been awarded a “Honorable Mention” for the piece that I submitted, which I wasn’t since we had just arrived.  I was really excited to receive the Honorable Mention.  I had titled the work “Destination”, but now think I should have named it “Fragile”, ’cause I got a major award

Thank you to those who have been supporting me in this path in life I really appreciate you and your sacrifices.
