Have I mentioned before about what happens to my altered books
and other melange from my art table?
A box.
90% of it goes into a box.
Sad, isn't it?
Recently, I assembled some of my favorites to fill a display case at work.
We have a lovely glass enclosed case in which we feature
rotating displays.
There have been a variety of displays throughout the years.
Usually collections.
Nativity sets from around the world, vintage valentines, paperweights,
African artifacts, pottery, Lladro, and many holiday themes.
I could go on and on....
With some trepidation, I decided I was ready to show the world my artwork
and took the plunge.
I must say, I was pleased with the reception.
The display brought this art form to the attention of a lot of people.
I received many nice compliments.
I enjoyed answering questions about my art.
Some even expressed interest in trying it themselves and inquired about classes.
In its own little way, I believe I can say my first (and only)
'art show' was a success.
Time to make some more!

Yay! I know I loved looking it over every time I was in the library.
Awe, beautiful! I love it. How on earth did you ever decide which pages to show? I even see your Round Robin book in there.
Excellent idea! It wouldn't surprise me if you didn't inspire some people to begin their own mixed media art!
I often take my stuff to school and my kids love looking at it.
