open for business

On Monday, inkfibre (a.k.a. yours truly!!!) concluded its 5-day participation at the One Of A Kind Show, Christmas Edition 2012. The show runs for a few more days, until Sunday (December 2), so you can still visit it if you happen to be in the Toronto area. Not much can be articulated at this point regarding this remarkable experience (it seems the brain has gone on a mini vacation), nonetheless,  the words of the Master will express the sentiments that accompany the fulfillment of this particular endeavour:

"It didn't matter whether I was called an artist, or designer, or illustrator, or whatever else it was. The core value was always the act of making things and the transformation of an idea that you hold in your mind that becomes real or material. That to me still is the glory of any creative activity."

GRATITUDE 

Though this was a one-woman show, not such thing would have been possible without the unconditional help and support of F and E as well as friends directly or indirectly involved in this venture (AD and MD I'm looking at you). From counsel and feedback, to sharing your own sources, from helping set up the booth. For coming by and saying hello, or calling and writing to give your support. To the incredible ladies at the Contemporary Textile Co-op and all at Rotman’s Business Edge program. For being amazing show neighbours (nun of a kind--zigzagstitches, fiberalley and Lois Lane).

To you all, thank you.
