It's out! My interview with Pikes Peak Library District for their "Off the Wall" series of artists who have had exhibits in one or more branches. Click on the link to view 5 minutes of me talking about my quilting, my 2012 Mini-Quilt Project, and pictures of some of my work.
This interview was filmed in February, 2013. The producer/interviewer/director/editor is Ralph Giordano, and he was hoping to have it out by March. At first I started watching and waiting for it, and then I had forgotten about it until he recently sent me an email that it was done!
Ralph did a wonderful job of making me look not nervous, which I was. A big camera is aimed at you and you're not supposed to look at it. And then Ralph asks questions and I'm supposed to remember to incorporate the question into my answer because he doesn't want to be heard on the interview. That was especially difficult for me, and in fact, there is one spot where you can hear him ask a question because I couldn't manage it. I guess I'm more used to having a conversation rather than being interviewed. But overall, I'm really pleased with it and not embarrassed to show it to family and friends. And now that I have one interview under my belt, I'll be better at the next one! There's optimism for you.
Update on the Peacock: Since the Peacock was mentioned in the video, I thought I would let you know that it is coming along. Slowly. I worked on it a while and then abandoned it to do some other things, and now I'm back at it again. I've finished 13 feathers and only have 6 more to go. Then I can work on the feet and ground and then put all the pieces together.
