The Colors of the Southwest show put on by the Albuquerque Fiber Arts Council is history. It opened Friday morning; there was a “meet the artists” reception that evening. Saturday it ran all day. I was there Friday evening to view and schmooze and Saturday afternoon to demonstrate rug hooking. Took a LOT of pics as there were many, many talented artists represented. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing. Your piece is fun, colorful whimsey. It immediately evoked the vision of balloons flying free over the colorful mountains.
Wow! What a great variety of fiber arts on display. And look at you participating in a show so soon after relocating. You seem to be finding your place in NM!
Oh, I hope so. Have another one next week. It’s hanging all month. An art or art history professor at UNM Valencia (a half-hour south of Albuquerque) decided he wanted to put a rug hooking show together. Should be cool. One of our guild members is speaking.
