I just can't believe it! That piece was magical for me right from the start. It won several ribbons before it was sold to a renowned photographer who lives in Paris, France - sob, sob.
It was really hard to photograph, so I had it professionally done by Petronella Ytsma. The photo above is an edited version of her photo.
Maybe I should do a portrait of my ram Harwell, but call it "Portrait of Ole". ;-)
How incredibly awesome is that???
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be so thrilled!

ReplyDeleteWonderful news! and what a beautiful piece!! I'm so happy that it will be published!! I can't wait to purchase the book!! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteOh my Becky, I knew you were talented, and this one is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI recently passed along a link to your blog from someone inquiring about fiber art.
Are you going to bring some of your fiber art to display at WSWF? We are looking for as many display & demo ideas as we can get for this fall.
Congratulations, Becky. Your work is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, Kelly and everyone for the comments. My potter friend has suggested that I do a series of 10 of these. I have to admit, I'm still not done framing my pasture series of eight pieces. But I've got several other sheep portraits in mind if I ever get done with all my paperwork.
ReplyDeleteAn acclaimed artist. You are a work of art yourself. I will enjoy watching your career grow. Vonnie
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am on the same Cloud 9 -- my entry got in too! So exciting! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Morna! I can't wait to see the book. It's really cool to hear from others who will have work in the book. I just visited your blog, wonderful photos and interesting text. I love that you "troll" the web at night. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Vonnie! I'm so glad that you are working on an R & D grant this year too. I hope we can bounce things off each other as we go through this. Looking forward to our May meeting and seeing where everyone is at.
