Reception Video!

I've complete the CYBER FYBER reception video! All the images are from that wonderful evening...January 9, 2009 at Gallery 80808/Vista Studios, 808 Lady Street in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. Every moving clip and still photo was shot by either my fabulous mother, Linda Lenz (Postcard # 14), or my incredible youngest sister Sonya Lenz. Please enjoy!

FIBER DAY

Today was Fiber Day.....in partnership with Creative Sewing Center of West Columbia. We had a schedule but were having so much time that we didn't stick to it strictly. In fact, joyously all the demonstrations seemed to happen simultaneously from 10:30 until 4:00. The Bernina 830 purred patterns and elegance as the new Babylock embellisher astounded eager visitor who waited in line to try the "make-it/take-it" bookmarks. The traded postcards and ATCs were admired greatly. Guests stuffed votes for their favorites into the containers. It was great!

Early this morning I posted the video of Ellen Kochansky's selection for BEST OF SHOW POSTCARD and BEST OF SHOW ATC. It is here. The video includes Ellen's comments on each card and the jurying process. Below is a list of the winners and the honorable mentions! CONGRATULATIONS!
