We went to the opening of the Chattahoochee Guild's 60th anniversary show this evening. Linda didn't get in because they opened entries to the world. She has won the show when it was just for members. They used an online company, Cafe, to organise the entries so that's the juror, a tapestry weaver, could choose 33 entries to hang. He chose ones that showed extreme technique. The winner was needle lace in wire of a series of images of her mother's hair dos suspended by those metal hair clips that were used for perms.
There was a concurrent exhibition, mostly textile, that was by invitation and moved from the Atlanta airport. India Flint has a piece of yardage in it. This printed, pressed polyester was my favourite.
Interesting to meet with Linda's guild friends and see the works.
