This will be third year my artwork has been accepted in to the "Venus Envy" art exhibit which takes place every spring at the Bucktown Center for the Arts in Davenport, IA. The event will feature the artwork and talent of over 60 regional female artists through a gallery exhibition and live performances. Four pieces of my beaded jewelry will be on display - here are some shots to tempt you:
Dan & I will be there with some friends. Maybe we'll see you there?? :)
Here's a bit more about the exhibit - stolen... I mean, copied... from the Bucktown website:

With so many artists the variety of work is startling, although one prevailing theme is the strength of women.
The evening’s performances will showcase a variety of work from ballet to flamenco, folk music to drums, original theatre and music, and the ever-favorite belly dancing on two stages.

For the first time, one stage will be located outside near Bucktown.
New this year is the addition of outside activities (weather permitting) including a Bohemian old-world inspired marketplace with artists selling as well as demonstrating their art form and original artist multimedia installations. A string trio of the Quad City Symphony Orchestra will perform throughout the evening.
Venus Envy was founded in St. Louis in 1999 and has since expanded to include sister cities including the Quad Cities and Baton Rouge – all located along the Mississippi River.
The Venus Envy Quad Cities event is free to the public; donations will be accepted.

LOVE your pieces, especially the one with the lizard. Wish I were closer so I could come and visit the show. It sounds fabulous.
