BOTH of my works were accepted to the Vuleka competition! :) They are currently hanging in the exhibition in Belville. I can barely believe it. I'm delirious. I get tears in my eyes every time I think of it. I cry at anything these days, my emotions are so heightened. Now, euphoria is an appropriate emotion! There is a review of the opening here. 57 entries were accepted out of 397, and I had TWO accepted, can you believe it? I feel soooo honoured. My head is now so swollen, I'm going to have to go see a shrink, oh, I forgot, I already see one... ;)
I WISH I could actually go and see the exhibition. When you see your work hanging amidst all the others, it really hits home that you are in the illustrious company of REAL artists (yeah, ok, ok, I know, each artist is as real as any other...) and that somebody who knows something about what constitutes 'good' art (whatever that is) judged your work to be arty farty enough to be there. :) I've been able to attend two openings before, both for Innovative Threads and when I saw my work on the same wall as that of (fibre) artists whose talent I am in awe of, whose work I can marvel in front of, for ages, soaking up every detail, and whose work I have followed for years and years...
... whewwwww, now that is a trip! No drugs needed. :)

Fantastic!! two thumbs up for great news like this...
Oh Jackie, you're so dear... Thank you!
For some reason I missed this announcement in my sidebar (I think because there was no photograph it looks as if it was part of something else.) I'm so thrilled for you Karen! I read the review and after getting into a competition like this you should never doubt your talent again.....and not one but two pieces. You're a star. Dance of joy!
