    Fabulous exhibit in a GREAT space. When I first started looking I had 2 favorites . . . then it grew to about a dozen. Wish I was there. I'm sure in person it is soo much movement and light and texture and . . .

    Congratulations on such a beautiful exhibit! Such a variety of techniques and materials.
    I recognized some of the names having taken a workshop with the talented fiber artists from Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. I would love to see the exhibit in person.
