Sunday Smile: gettin' Lucky

polaroid - pompoms

I spent a very special Saturday with the sweetly talented Jen (AKA Lucky Jackson of 365 Lucky Days fame), helping her set up her very big show this month at the Impresario Artisan Market in Cobourg, Ontario.
If you're a Lucky fan - or just a fan of modern textile art - make sure to stop by the gallery to get an eyeful of happiness in the shape of embroidery hoops! It's pretty darn awesome to see so many of Lucky's works up on the walls. Eye candy!

Isn't Lucky's art happy-making? One can't help but smile when you see even just one of her pieces, but to fill a gallery's worth of walls with them?! Holy instant happy pill, Batman!

Lucky, your art is very much happy-making. I adore what you do, and loved looking at these pictures of your gallery show. I think I'd totally freak if I had a whole wall of Lucky Jackson art! :)

That is super exciting! I agree with mhilldesigner, please come to California! Preferably Sacramento or the Bay Area. :)
