Hooray for you, David! That's great news, congratulations. I do think you should have put a higher price on it tho--it sounds like a treasure.

My Toender Point Ground Lace scarf in Vietnamese silk won the Thematic Category (Rhythm of Life). It took about 4 months to make and was 2200 hours' work. It's up for sale at AUS $2000 - wonder if it will go? The organizers had gone round the Op Shops and bought up a heap of old LP records which they then bent at right angles. Each of the 250 or so scarves were then draped over a record which hung from the ceiling on a slender cord, to show it off to its best advantage. I was duly interviewed by the Geelong Advertiser newspaper and photos were taken. Not sure whether it will be in tomorrow's or Monday's issue. I didn't even know what the prize would be, but it turned out to be $100 cash plus a certificate which had been personalized on a CD label that was then stuck on to an old 45rpm EP record. Mine happened to be the David Bowie hit "Amsterdam" - appropriate some might say. I believe the exhibition runs till some time in August and would be well worth a visit if you can.
