>Backward Beadwork
>
A few months ago, I submitted two slides of my beadwork to Upstream People Gallery's 10th Annual Realism Juried Online International Art Exhibit. Both of my pieces, Engine Co. 6 and The End, were accepted into the show. Well, today when I checked the website, I was surprised to see that both of my pieces are displayed in reverse! Click the image to see for yourself:
I had to laugh when I saw that. The slides must have been copied upside-down by accident! This is funny to me because I've been reversing my beaded images using Photoshop just for fun in my blog posts lately anyways. I just sent the gallery a message to notify them of this mistake, but I doubt they'll fix it. It is also funny that my real name is displayed, but it is even funnier that I am annoyed at that. LOL. I submitted this entry long before I decided to go anonymous with my beadwork. I did email Upstream People Gallery a few weeks ago asking them to change my name. Either they never received the message, or they thought I was joking, so I'm sure they won't fix that either...
Despite all that, the good thing is, my work got a Special Recognition in the Juror's Statement! I was very pleased to see that! Now, maybe I'll think about entering the upcoming 10th Annual Contemporary Art Exhibition... :0
Update: The images have been fixed, and my alias has been added. Cool. :D
