Last Sat. the 7th of May Maureen and I went the Whimsical Women Spring Art Show in Chapel Hill NC . We joined Elaine,her dog Cosmos and her friend Kath. We saw exceptional art, met extraordinary artists and even found a few friends among them. We also saw and bought some amazing art! Is that a surprize to anyone who knows "Whimsical Women"?
We talked to four women that expressed a desire and willingness to come to teach women in Uganda. The first woman we met when we walked in to the Artisan's circle was Tiffany. She'd been to Kenya and Uganda and had a wonderful sense of color that her Father had given to her as a gift.

Another women designed and made art from old clothing (sweaters her sweetie had ruined in the wash :O). She had a sense of whimsy that made her art appealing and fun. Her name was Janice. When Maureen and i kept on talking about Uganda she stopped us and said, "You don't have to keep convincing me i'm in." We all laughed and exchanged info!
A third woman with award winning bead designs I would never imagined might come to teach in Uganda because her work was exceptionally beautiful, but Maureen was after her with great fervor! She is from Winston-Salem NC. We would love to have this woman come and teach women in Uganda. Her jewelry is superior quality with amazing color combinations . Oh me of little faith!
The fourth was our own beloved Jennifer C.This woman can do incredible art work with material stitching it into beautiful flowers, etching gourds and whimsical bricks! Bricks you say...? Yes bricks! Jennifer is also a teacher! These were very encouraging women to make contacts with for the project
