My first Blue Ribbon!

Yes, I actually won my first blue ribbon for my sculpture "Ship of Fools" at the Minnesota Sculpture Society's "Fall for Sculpture" Show at the Bloomington Art Center.

I've won awards in the past for First Place and Best of Show, but have never actually gotten a physical ribbon for it.

So there ya have it.

Check out the piece in the portfolio section and see what it looked like when I started.

Also, I received a "People's Choice" award at this show as well. Two firsts happening at the same time. Hopefully this is a trend.
