The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.
Massive quilt made of prize ribbons in blue, red, yellow, and white Center square of quilt made of yellow and red ribbons and yellow rosettes Block of quilt made of blue, yellow, red, and white ribbons. Ribbons state the year. Some have the prize winning object written on in marker Carol St. Clair Johnson born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years 2023 satin ribbons After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair. Courtesy of Carol St. Clair Johnson

A neighborhood park surrounded by trees, with a jungle gym, sand pit, and benches. A border collie looks up at girl happily. The girl - scruffy short red hair and in jeans, tee shirt, plaid overshirt - is standing next to a sign indicating "No Dogs Allowed" and is shrugging at the dog apologetically. The text on the card reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ TBA"

An illustration post card with a drawing of three children in the sand dunes. The eldest chews some grass looking peeved, the middle child tells a story shown in emoji-like symbols and the baby plays in the sand, looking off and up to the right where a sign with a seagull on it, covered in graffiti and seaweed, says "danger boardwalk closed". Illustration human-made by Clay Adamah, author-illustrator.

Lauraliee Lumijer as Nenya the water warrior and Prince Diamond Pendragon — the two main characters of the Warriors of Virtue YA fantasy series by Mili Fay. Lauraliee is a pale 16-year-old girl with chestnut hair and grey eyes. Diamond Pendragon is a very old dragon-person who appears to be twenty. He turns into a silver dragon and has the colouring to match — his hair is silver-white, his eyes are ice blue, he is tanned with dark eyebrows and very handsome.

A boy in a black and purple sci-fi-looking suit - his name is Jett Vesta - wields an energy sword, an orc woman - Kirra Grash - in a different futuristic outfit holds a laser pistol, and a short fizzy alien panics as he sees something off-screen... presumably something with a lot of tentacles from the shadows on the ground. All of this is on an alien moon in pinks, purples and oranges, with other moons and a planet hanging in the sky.
