#39 "You Gotta Know When to Hold 'em"

#39 Pamela L. Broe of Little Meadows, PA

“You Gotta Know When to Hold ’em”

Embellishments & Techniques: Fabric, beads, fringe trim, ribbon, playing cards and fabric flowers.

Artist’s Statement: I am a 20+ year breast cancer survivor. In 1989 choices of treatment were fewer than today. I was encouraged by three physicians to have a mastectomy, which I did. I doubt today’s cure would be as drastic. However, it appears that was the cure, for here I am, 20 years later! So I had to ... “know when to hold ’em, and when to fold ’em.” No regrets!
