Peggy Foy jewelry, it gets around, huh?  :) This month I have work in two exhibits around the Seattle area.  There’s the Seattle Metals Guild Biennial Exhibition at the Washington State Convention Center, on display through June 21st.  I have a new necklace, “Paging Wednesday Addams,” on view – a lacy gothic choker in dark silver, smokey […]
It’s official: of the seven applications I completed last month (for various art shows, craft fairs, and one curator’s proposal for 2011), six were accepted.
