I attended The Gathering this year and it was a blast. Here's a photo of our necklace on display in the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. I was thrilled to be displayed alongside one of my idols, the fabulous Melanie Moertel.

And here's a few photos of my bead on display at Flame Run gallery in Louisville.

The necklace that Elizabeth Lyne and I collaborated on, Surface Progression Over a Linnenbrink, has been accepted into the Convergence III exhibition. This exhibition will open at The ISGB Gathering conference in Louisville, KY in July 2011, then the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, then at various venues worldwide for a year.

I just had a bead accepted into the Surface exhibition, which is part of the Bead and Button show in June 2011. I named it Golden Green Bumps on Blue.
