I decided to head back to Pennsic this year after a 12 year hiatus. By far the highlight of the week was participating in the Known World Arts & Sciences Display. This is a display, not a competition, and allows for folks to do just that, display their work. You can sign up to have an A&S Consultation if there is anything you feel like you need help or advice on, but mainly you sit there and chat with everyone who walks by.
I had great conversations! Some were with new people, some with Laurels and other "high mucky muck" people. :) Made wonderful connection including with one or two people who want to collaborate on updating and compiling German Brick Stitch sources and research. One of the best moments was getting to fangirl a bit and meet Master Richard Wymarc who literally wrote the book on German Brick Stitch and still runs the website that is still the best place to go to start off (https://www.wymarc.com/). He took a lot of pictures of my projects and declare that I was "insane." 😂 I said that coming from him, I took that as a high compliment. Handed out some documentation and lots of business cards. Hopefully folks find their way here and find it helpful.
Below are a few photos from the display.
