WeekendMiniaturist Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'm sure we had some IGMA Artisans and Fellows demonstrating at the Gala. For those of us who were not able to travel to this event, I think the Forum would love to see any pictures that you can post! I saw some wonderful auction items on display at Kaye's book signing in Chicago. Did you all know that Book II has been printed? https://store.bookbaby.com/book/Collectively-Speaking1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
