Award from the S.A. Conservation Society
This is the Lynn Ford Craftsman award, presented on May 14th, 2010, by the S.A. Conservation Society, for my work in papel picado. this is the first time I can remember, an artist, working in an ephemeral art form, receiving such a reward. However, it is appropriate, that a non-profit, that makes its revenue (and preservation funding) from one of the most successful Fiesta events, would appreciate an art form that screams "CELEBRATION!". I am so honored to have this elegant plaque, designed by the legendary,Lynn Ford, metalsmith, at the Willow Way complex. He will always be an inspiration to me. Viva Lynn, and the S.A. Conservation Society. Thank you for this touching honor.

The Grand Marshal unveiled at Tres Rebeccas
Visit Tres Rebeccas shop in San Antonio, across from El Mirador, on S. St. Mary's. A day of the dead exhibit of selected paper cuts by Kathleen, is on view now, with an opening on First Friday, Nov. 6th. Here is a preview, with my latest victim, Mike Casey, on bicycle, as the Grand Marshal for the King William Fair Parade. He is riding past the Pioneer Flower Mill, waving to his admirers, wearing his usual straw hat. One of his many chickens accompanies him. The paper cut is 4/5'. Viva Mike!
