Grimmly Inspired UPDATE



The Ford House asked the artists to participate in video interviews to give visitors a little "behind-the-scenes" experience of the show. This is my interview. At the Artists' Preview, I found out that I won a "Story Award," which is like an honorable mention:) These are the two pieces that were accepted:

I also met two artists this morning. Laurie Longo from Ann Arbor, MI won first prize and has a fabulous ETSY site called StoriesDivinations. The other artist, Rhonda Denny, flew all the way in from Colorado to attend the preview!! She creates art quilts. Check out her site, caprockinspirations.com

The Once Upon a Time: Grimmly Inspired and the Fairy Tale Festival runs through November 4.

  2. Hi Brenda! - I recently swapped with you on Swap-bot and have been visiting your blog every once in a while. I just wanted tell you that I enjoyed listening as you shared the process you went through to create your works. Good video! And I love both of the pieces, especially the colors you used in Heinrich's Sorrow. What a touching story. Anyway, have a great day! - Debbi Galey

    1. Thanks Debbi,
      Glad the video was useful. I was really nervous doing it but you have to try new thing s every once in a while. Thanks for the feedback. And thanks again for the fabulous Poppy ATC:) AND a HUGE apology for not respond sooner. It's taken me 11 years to finally figure out how to reply to comments on my blog. SO sorry! I wasn't ignoring your comment and really appreciated it. I guess better late (really late) than never! Take care!
