Deb, I don't put anything up over the work while it is on temporary display. I guess you just have to trust that your work will be treated with respect in galleries and other display venues, and accept that any risk must be borne as a consequence of the privilege of being able to display it. In the case of my permanent installations so far, the work that has gone into hospital locations has an acrylic sheet in front of it, which they specified and installed themselves, and the work at the libraries is up too high to be easily accessible. Pam, you are right, but it's that superstitious "don't count your chickens" thing...at least I don't think I'll have any issues with dead fish! Thanks, everyone.

I wouldn't worry about the provisional thing if I were you, I'm not sure why everyone plays that up so much. Last Visions when I got in, I was worried too because of that party line, but someone from the committee told me that as far as they could remember, only one quilt ever got rejected, because it showed up and had a dead fish sewn to it!

I have a question about displaying fiber work in public venues. As most fiber pieces fairly beg to be touched, how do you protect you work for public display. Do you lock it up under plastic or glass? Congratulations on both the sale and Visions.
