DFA's Membership Show: Desert Green
The title of the 2009 Member show at Allied Arts is Desert Green. You may interpret this as you like. Make something from recycled materials or from organic materials or from the yummiest desert green color in your stash. Of course all of your handmade entries will be accepted, whether "green" or not. Items for sale are particularly sought, even if they are small or expensive or both.
We will let you know about the details as we get closer to the show. If you have any questions or suggestions call or e-mail Marcia Keefer.
