Opening Reception

Today is the opening reception of the Members Textile Exhibit at the Arts Council in Evansville. There are 8 textile artists in the exhibit. ( I am one of them!)  I will be heading out to Evansville today, first to do some much needed shopping and visit a friend who had surgery last week, then to go to the reception late this afternoon.  The exhibit runs til September 26, so if anyone is in the area, stop by.  The arts council is located on Main Street on the block between 3rd and 4th Streets in downtown Evansville.

What Kind of Tea Are You?

I
You Are Black Tea


You have a bold personality. You’re not afraid of simply being yourself.

You have the courage to speak the truth. You are fearless in your actions.

You come off as a bit intimidating and unapproachable. Only confident people are attracted to you.

You don’t try to scare off anyone. You’re just an intense person!

I got this off someone else’s blog today…see the link to Rayna Gillman in the column to the right!
Well, according to this site, this is what kind of tea I am. I think it is fairly accurate. I hope I don’t come off as intimidating and unapproachable. On one of the questions about what your friends depend on you to do, all of the answers except one applied, so it was hard to choose just one. I picked the one I thought was probably the best, but I wonder what difference it would have made if I had made another choice? Iced tea and green tea sounded like good things to be too. But I didn’t get to read anywhere what the qualities were of those “teas”.
Thanks to everyone who commented on the topic from my last post about Dye vs. Paint. It is very interesting to hear other people’s take on how they like to work.
I delivered 12 pieces to the Arts Council gallery yesterday. The textile exhibit starts on Monday, the 18th and goes til September 26. If anyone is in the area, be sure to stop by and see the exhibit. There are 8 textile artists being featured. The gallery is on Main St. between 3rd and 4th streets in Evansville, IN. Not much other news to talk about. Now that the delivery is made, I feel freed up to start new work and work on more dye painting. I did start this today…not sure where it’s going yet, but I get the feeling of stones, water and perhaps trees.
