RedBubble and CafePress Updates

Well, it's nice to announce that several images have received awards. It was really nice to see that 'Deep In The Curl' is now a featured image in 'Featured Art & Photography' [though it now appears on Page 28]. Diatom Kaleaidoscopes - 'Delicato', 'Electric Eyes' and 'Jewel Eyes' have been featured in Kaleidoscope Kraze. If you click on the image to the right of this post, you can see all of the images, including these award winners. It is also a good time to do your holiday shopping both at RedBubble and CafePress.

NADS Update

This in an update from Dennis Vander Meer regarding the NADS Symposium:

"The 20th North American Diatom Symposium went very well. We had a great turn out and no real logistical problems. Your donated print was extremely well received. There was lots of bidding, and I remember that it sold for well over what your suggested value."

In a second note to me Dennis wrote: 'Frank Pickett won the bid for your print for $95'.

Thank you Frank for your generous bid, and for helping support the NADS program.
