		<description><![CDATA[In 2011, Tucci was juried into the Smithsonian Craft Show, as one of 120 artists the Smithsonian selected from a field of 1300. Her attendance here achieved recognition from the Smithsonian&#8217;s Womens Society and she was subsequently invited to participate in the 2011 Craft2Wear event.
