    I've looked in the archives and haven't been able to find a suitable
    discussion about my current dilemma, so here it goes. I'd like some
    advice about the philosophy behind choosing which photos to send in
    to juries (I'm currently aiming for several shows in FL in February
    2008). I have read several articles about presenting a "tight body of
    work" or having a "theme," and I have all of the Bruce Baker CDs, but
    I want some specific advice. I braid and weave sterling and gold
    wire, including a lot of Viking Knitting, with which I do things I've
    never seen anywhere else. Do I present three different VK chains (all
    are necklaces) as a "tight body of work," or should I also include
    pics of my other techniques (flat weave bracelets, multi-strand
    braiding)? My booth shot does show bracelets and earrings, though not
    close-up. Will festival auditors freak out when they see not just my
    Viking knit chains, but other kinds of wirework (same materials and
    solderless ethic)? 

    I have been getting into smaller (?) shows with my old portfolio that
    did include one photo of each type, but my perception is that the big
    shows in south Florida may require a different presentation of my
    work. 

    Thanks!

    Washington and Oregon)
