Historical Letter

Today, I was very surprised to find the following letter in my mailbox:

Lone Beader Bead embroidery bead artist Boston fine art exhibition Winston Salem Dimensions 2008My largest bead-painting, History Repeated, has been accepted into Dimensions 2008! This piece features my beaded Triumph GT6 and you can view it on my website. Dimensions 2008 is a national juried fine art competition & exhibition which is presented by the Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, NC. This show was established in 1964 to 'showcase outstanding visual art in two- or three- dimensional media'. It takes place at the gallery from April 10- May 23, 2008. You can take a peek at last year's winners HERE. I am so thrilled! When I entered, I didn't think I had a chance of getting in. I guess you just never know until you try... :D

Congratulations to your Triumph having been accepted in the competition and exhibition.

Maybe I better buy the beaded owl which I love so, your "Messenger", before you get very famous and prices too high for me?

I looked at the last few year's winners, and you definitely belong with this group! Your work is innovative and meticulous. I look forward to seeing more of your work appear in such shows!

(translation: you rock, girl!)

What a great honour!! And so well deserved! It's an amazing piece of work!
Is it ready to be displayed? Is there anything you need to do to get it ready?
Congradulations!

Thanks for the comments! That piece is a stretched canvas, and it is wired on the back for hanging, so I believe it is ready to show. It does not need a frame. Now, I just have to figure out how to ship it... :0

Congratulations, L.B.! That’s a wonderful recognition of your art!

I wish you good luck (you've already got the skill) towards winning and congrats for getting this far.

The Lone Beader said...

Thanks! And, I don't care about winning anything. Like I said, art should never be a competition. I am just thrilled that people will get to see my work in person at an established art gallery. :)

Congratulations!!! Absolutely wonderful news.

Gosh, I remember from a couple years ago (?) when you didn't think you were ready to enter juried art competitions.

"You've come a long way, baby!"
