Want to share your mixte with us?

I will be reopening The Mixte Gallery to new submittals soon! I have a backlog of submittals I need to post, and when the pile gets small enough, I will put a link in this spot that will let you send me your mixte.

Bear with me while I get caught up.

And thanks to Rebecca Olds-Bartlett for sending me pictures of Lorelei, one of which is the current banner for The Mixte Gallery.
