The galleries that now represent me are Frameworks Gallery in Burlington, and the Hourglass Gallery in Melrose.
I'm working on some more in New England..... any ideas are welcome! There's nothing like a referral from 'someone who knows'.

Costumes are Done!!
The dresses, crowns, train and veils are ready to be shipped.Yay!
The Queen's dress (red) has a detachable train and a crown that is worn over a glittery net veil. It also has a detachable belt, made so that the gown, which is cut large, can be worn for a while until the little girl grows out of it.
The Princess gown (blue) has a chiffon veil connected to the head-dress. This dress also has a detachable belt with a tie made of two layers of tulle.
My sewing machine held out until just before finishing everything....something is wrong and despite mucho years of dealing with machines, I can't figure out what's wrong. Luckily, the only thing missing, machine-wise, I can do my hand and then we're done. Hurray!
The only other thing I've been able to accomplish during the costume building time, was to make a few more Silent Chimes to send to Little Beach Gallery in Hyannis. They sell them like the proverbial hot cakes.... nice!
My new gallery, in Melrose, MA also took some Chimes as well as a lot of jewelry and some small artwork, including my blue Dragonfly. The place is wonderful, with lots of very interesting items....one could do serious damage to the budget there!
On the 'workshop newsflash' line, the silk painting at Newburyport Adult Ed is going to take place as we have enough people, but there is still space for new students.
A new and FREE silk painting class for kids from 8 to 18 will take place at Georgetown Library on Nov. 2. The kids will be able to make a silk scarf for their Moms for Christmas.

Overnight Trip to Harrison, NY
I drove down to NY yesterday to do a fitting for some costumes I'm making for 2 little girls. The fitting took 10 minutes (I have forgotten how little girls squirm and how many questions they can ask in tandem), then the fun began, Norma, at whose house I was staying, and our friend, Lily, went off to Water Moon, in Rye for dinner. What a great place and what good food! Thai like you've never seen it.... and guess who brought home the left-overs??
The costumes will be done by the first week in Oct. and will be shipped off in time for Halloween. They are a red Queen's dress and a blue Princess' gown. Pictures will be posted soon, but here are the petticoats that were finished and delivered yesterday.
Events Errata .....Errati?...Erratae? Boo-boo.
The phone number for the Newburyport Adult Ed classes is 978-465-1257.
Please disregard the number posted under Events..... the computer gremlin has been at it again.
