 The Johnstown Concert Ballet performs during the recent Grand Opening of ART WORKS in Johnstown.  Six of my sculptures were used as set pieces.  This is a first for me, and I think their entire performance of three dances was just lovely!

This is Mr. Hairy Behemoth, pondering  today's club selection.  This fiber art piece was used as part of a deck of playing cards which are being sold as a fund raiser.  The project is called "Sleight of Hand", and the proceeds benefit the Fiberart International 2010, an exhibit sponsored by our Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh.  The exhibit was on display in Pittsburgh and  travelled to several cities during the past year.
