Texas Museum of Fiber Arts

On Thursday I attended a reception at the Austin Capitol to honor the 2008 winners of the "Deep in the Art of Texas Fiber Arts Exhibit". The exhibit runs this weekend at the Capitol with a showing of all the art pieces that were selected. In addition, at different times of the day, speakers will give presentations related to the fiber art world.
I took many photos but I had to leave some artist out because I had trouble with the memory card in my camera. I hope you enjoy the show.
