Thanking All Who Came To Our ARCAC Opening

Criss Cross

filled the small Mym Gallery

Turning corners

 Handy Hubby

reckoned his signature should adorn his skinny shelves!

What he did was really clever though.

He worked a groove through his tiny 3/4" square shelving strips.

The groove was slightly angled

so that each piece leaned against the wall.

We had been torn between leaving them as is

or painting them white.

I think we will paint them white for the show this summer

at the Mary E Black Gallery in Halifax.

Thank you everyone for coming out to the opening yesterday.

Mingling with friends and viewers and explaining your work

is such a different experience for someone like me

who spends so many solitary hours stitching, stitching, stitching.

When I am asked which is my favourite

I always say the circle on the right

but....

then I see the two I created from my two year old grand baby's drawings.

So we are already collaborating!

Or then.... I spy

another one that could me my favourite.

I think what makes this an interesting collection of small pieces

is their differences

and how your eye is drawn from one to another.

 And congratulations to Sally O'Grady

whose colourful Annapolis Royal scenes

filled the Chapel Gallery.

Beautiful work.

You can see both our shows

and

Louise Williams' drawings as she works as the artist in residence.

Oh, yes, and you can go and draw on paper covered walls

in the main gallery.

All of this at the Annapolis Region Community Arts Centre.
