Bling Chicken
Here I am at Carolina Gallery posing with a fun piece I did on old metal siding titled BLING CHICKEN. It came from my neighbor's home they were residing in Converse Heights. I love this photo because we sporting the same hair do! It was my first show in the Upcycle division which means reuse something that once was, but alas, I did not win, however, fun was had by all and my congratulations to Vivianne Lee Carey who won Best In Show!!!...You go girl!!!
