Winner, winner Chicken dinner!!

The 68th annual membership show for Spiva Center for the Arts in Joplin opened last Friday, November 13th.  And I won third in 3D!!  To think that I entertained the idea of not entering at all.  See, I already knew what a couple of my friends were going to enter and thought it was an exercise in futility.  Goes to show that you just never know and it's all subjective.  Oh, and the darn piece sold too!! Fortunately, the new owner is Suzi Huntington owner of our local Crackpot Pottery clay studio.  I might have to borrow it for our groups exhibit at the KC NECEA show, March 2016.

But I'm working on another one that is in a darker clay body, so we shall see!

Here are the other 3D winners...all my friends!!

My good friend Debbie Reed's work that took over a year to complete. Honorable Mention.

My favorite jeweler, Randy Wright - always awesome.  Honorable Mention.

Steve Doerr - First Place.

Wm. Jeffrey Jones - 2nd Place.

Justin Hale - another Honorable Mention.

Linda Brown - the final Honorable Mention.
A pretty awesome bunch of people...so great!!
