It went well. I led the able hanging crew on Friday. It took us 6 hours to hang as it was rather complex - about 80 pieces divided into three groups - and ended up looking nice (imho). I'm hoping they get the new pictures onto the website in a few days. We need to find a way to increase the visibility and traffic so more people can enjoy the creativity, but some of the pieces will be at NEWS.

The best of show prize went to Georgia Hadley for one of her "wall things,"  a large geometric looped flossa rug-like piece called "Bounded." The Complex Weavers award went to a trio of handwoven baskets with handwoven liners by Barbara Morse. Both were beautiful.
