Show Update: Hanging Day

Got everything hung up at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, in Almonte,Ont. today for a show of my weaving, opening Saturday.  Hopefully everything in straight, lint free and wont fall down, because I mounted everything on 1/2 inch MDF.  Fellow weavers might cringe at the staples I shot through the selvedges of the fabric stretched around the back of the boards, but I think. uneven messy exposed selvedges are worse, for a gallery show anyway.  Now to come up with Titles for all the pieces, something I find harder to do than all the work it takes to create them. 
So stay tuned for pictures from the opening.
