I have an application in for a regional studio tour. I have been in it in the past so I am keeping my fingers crossed. You don’t ever know what a jury is going to do! Hoping they publish jury results soon.

Whether it is for the tour or having some personal art open house events, I need to reconfigure some studio space. I have one corner that I used to store wool for weaving and rug hooking. Since I do neither any longer, I am making it into a gallery space. I am painting the walls and getting ready to make a hanging system. Boy are they expensive! I did a lot of research and found that I can buy all the parts needed to make my own gallery rail system for a tiny fraction of the cost. When the parts get here I will do a step by step tutorial on how I am making the system. I have nylon cord with ferrals to make loops that will then hang on the picture rail hooks. Those funny things are adjustable hooks for the cords. I will be able to use one cord and hang multiple small things from it.
