Yes, for reasons I won't dwell on, I missed both of those deadlines so the pieces that I started in 2012 and finished in 2013 probably they won't seen any exposure at a national show what with restrictions on the age of pieces. Or is that bit of fiber tomfoolery becoming a thing of the past?
Then the sun broke through and I got this shot of "Consolation" 2012.
It worked it's charm on me. No one out there has enough money to buy this one.

Another blogger has a lifetime of journals with pages filled with art. I asked what happens after----she had no idea. Perhaps a mention in her will to burn them. I have maybe ten years of art journals and I often wonder if my children will read them--get to know another side of me. But I think not. My art quilts are given to anyone who says "oh, I love this". No money exchanged.
I don't want to end my days in this big house with a stack of fiber art in the closet. I keep the ones I love--the others--I send them off. I have often thought the larger works of artists are very overpriced for what they are. Ephemeral. Color fugitive. Fibers ready to "compost". When in doubt I cut them up and use them as very artistic placemats. I love to run my hand over them--while eating breakfast.
