My winning piece is being displayed but not my "Wood Nymph". I went from elation to depression, as I opened first one envelope from the Lace Guild and then later the other from Coventry council. As you say there was no indication why a piece wasn't being included other than space at the gallery and the number of entries. I too am very disappointed not to have both pieces displayed, particularly as many more hours went into the wood nymph than the book. It was a physical struggle to make a piece of lace over a polystyrene wig holder, and one I didn't much enjoy. But I quite understand that if pieces needed to be cut, it was fair that I should only have one piece exhibited. Your work is beautiful and I'm sure it would have been more than good enough to be displayed. I guess the extra exhibition at the Hollies was a last minute decision when they realised how many pieces they had to display. It is a real shame, and you have my sympathy. I am trying to find out how ot post pictures of mine at the Arachne webshots page. Why don't we all add our photos of the "Myth or Mystery" pieces to the site? At least that way we can all get them seen by the lace community around the world, many of whom will not otherwise see them Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
