The 5th and final venue for this exhibit at the Bob Owens Gallery, University of North Georgia, Dahlonega, GA, ended today. I went there for a reception and a workshop by Jane Freear-Wyld (the organizer of the exhibit). Tommye Scanlin helped to make this venue possible. My tapestry is "Another Forest Through the Trees." 8 x 9" (above)

The staff at the Bob Owens Gallery did a great job hanging this show. So often small work is jammed together, and in this case, there was plenty of space so one could appreciate each tapestry.
Many thanks to Jane Freear-Wyld, who devoted herself to making this all happen. Here is her tapestry.
