I am so thrilled.
An artist saw my work at a local gallery and not only did he buy some of my work, but he has a show on Iowa Public Television. He just taped me for my own segment!
They are really nice and give the artists the rights to distribute the segment as they choose, so I can now send my very own DVD to galleries along with my images etc.
I am so thrilled!

My segment ran last night and it was really very well done.
I was so thrilled with the detail shots and the editing...
And I didnt sound like a crazy artist.
Sorry for the gloating... Im just so glad that this went off so well.

I haven't seen your art, yet.  Do you have a website or some pictures?

I dont know if its ok to list here or not (I mean in this section of Duckplanet), but my web site is www.bierbaskets.com
I do typically funky free-form gourds and other structural weavings. I also weave more "normal" baskets.

Very cool--those gourds are really neat--really creative and artistic!!  How long does it take you to make one of those?

Well, as far as time goes, once each gourd has been dried each one needs to be cleaned, cut, cleaned on the inside, drilled and then tinted (depending upon what I am going to use for pigment).
When I start to weave... so sometimes all of the prep is about an hour and some only take about another hour to weave... some I have done have had about 20 hours of weaving... each piece is totally different.
They tend to sell from between $40 - $280 or so (for a really really involved piece)... so Im obviously donating most of my time. Galleries charge more, but then again they take as much as 50%.
Sounds hokey, but it is really a labor lof love.

I got the segment that I was in posted to my web site at www.bierbaskets.com
There is a tab for WQPT and then you can click to download the segment. Its only about 4 minutes long... but I am pleased all the same!
