Open Studios: Great News

Front of postcard announcing my participation in the 2011 Open Studios
Good news came by mail on Saturday. My work has been accepted into the 26th annual Open Studios put on by the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz. I was nervous and excited by the new jurying process the council opted for this year. Five outside jurors were selected and rated the submitted applications on a scale from 1 to 5 on Technical Proficiency and Consistent Body of Work present in the collection of submitted work.
Fortune smiled upon my work and it will appear alongside 300 other artists in Santa Cruz County the second and third weekends of this coming October—the 8th and 9th and 15th and 16th. Today, most of the day was taken up by the designing of the Open Studio postcard in InDesign for my work to be placed around town and sent out as announcement of my participation. Much of the fancy text graphics were created in Illustrator. A photograph I shot of the CCSCC logo I did in bead embroidery was used for the logo on the backside of the postcard.
I hope you join me for this special Santa Cruz event!
