Happy Monday!

Space of Time

Hi Everyone~
I hope that you all had a nice weekend. I received some very exciting news. I have just discovered that 2 of my altered art works have been accepted into a juried art show.

For those of you who may not know what "juried" means, the process is as follows. Numerous pieces by various artists are submitted into an art show and while some shows are "open" to everyone, others are juried and a special panel made up of artists, gallery owners, etc. determine which work will be in the show.


Beach Beauties

So, now you can imagine my surprise when I found out that my 2 pieces were juried in and will be on display.

These were wooden cigar boxes that went through a metamorphosis--many hours went into these individual projects--but I love making them!

I hope that you are having the start of a super week!

If you would like to visit my Monday feature with all new artists on my Whimsical Musings Magazine, I'm sure you would enjoy seeing all the fabulous women I have featured. To reach there, go here.

WOW CONGRATULATIONS!!!

What an achievement. My hubby said this kind of craft will be recognised as true art some day and I am so thrilled for you.

It just shows that we are truly artist and for one of us to be recognised it just marvellous. I am so proud for you well done Cindy. The cigar boxes really deserve a place amongst all the other art.

Hi Cindy Sweetie...
Oh girl, I am so darn tickled for you. I just can hardly stand it. I love the first box best. I love the blue mixed in, love the blue. The domino grabbed me and I love the key, such a combination straight from your heart. I love it.

I can't wait to see how the judges rule on these. They just have to be in the running for sure. Girl things are turning around for you. I am so thrilled and proud of you. Stand up again sweet girl, take a double curtsy please. One for each. I love ya.

Have a glorious week sweet one. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
