Show Time and Self Publishing.


I gave a small talk at October's Artists Round Table on self publishing with Blurb.com. I recently built my new little notebook (in sidebar) on my way to putting another one together. I learned the software, which was fun and you can use your creativity.  Anyway, I was so thrilled a) to see Tina Roeder at the Makers Hand show this past weekend, with a booth up front...an ace spot, and b) to see she had made a book for herself and ordered it in hard cover. This was a handy little book for folk to look through at her booth, useful if she, say, is busy with a customer.

A little extra.
Now I'm preparing for Saturday's opening of Focus on Fibre at Artemisia Gallery in Westport...with my friends Sylvia NaylorMargot Miller and so many more. The opening is Saturday afternoon 1 - 5 and I will be demonstrating.

Then it's off to Ottawa for the Signatures show - the first time I've done this particular one...I'm a little wary of its location as the parking is way more expensive than at Lansdowne Park (for us and the visitors) but .... we'll see. At least we don't have to tote a carpet or a structure!

If any of you have something you would like to see on the ART blog let me know and I'll be happy to write it up and post photos.
