I entered three of my latest textiles into the RBSA Open exhibition, which runs until Christmas Eve. My Night City jacket (Night City IV) was not only accepted, but was picked by the judges as "Highly Commended". Makes rushing round to get fabric on Friday and make a dress to go under it on Saturday/Sunday really worthwhile! They had a problem with the other two, as they were inspired by turn-of-the-last-century artworks - the bronze flower wreath, whch I made to go on the bronze resin head of my grandfather by Diana White, and the border waistcoat inspired by one of the drawings in my Great-grandfather's (Archi Macgregor's) sketchbook. I don't think they can cope with that, even if the artwroks were done by someone who has been dead for the best part of 100 years!
