Catch up

It's been too long.....
I thought I'd do a brief catch up with the work [and non work] I've been doing over the last few months.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER:
Paper Scissors Stone - volume 3
Quakers Friars, Bristol

A great pop-up shop for local artists, designers and makers, set up by Made In Bristol.  I had prints and jewellery for sale.  I found this a brilliant place for me to meet and exchange experiences and ideas with other makers.



OCTOBER:
Art on the Hill
Windmill Hill, Bristol - art trail

Along with Jen Orme Fettleandpatience.blogspot.com/ I was invited by my lovely friend Sarah Duncan http://www.sarahduncan.net/ to exhibit in her beautiful home.  A busy and sucessful weekend, with a caravan full of some of the most stunning cakes parked right out side - what more could one ask for?!

OCTOBER:

My sweet Nephew, Dan's, super hero birthday present - everyone should have a cape to run down the street in!









OCTOBER/NOVEMBER:
Mexican Day of the Dead exhibition
Parlour room gallery, Bristol

An exhibition curated by House of Paper, which ran for two weeks, over the period of the Mexican festival.  Sadly, I was unable to see the show, but it proved to be a very sucessful event and my prints and jewellery seemed to go down well.

NOVEMBER:

These little creatures will shortly be flying to Australia to be the new pets of my nieces, Poppy and Alice.


and finally...

Along side the above work I have continued to supply all the lovely galleries that have supported me over the the last six months, and some new galleries too:

Its been a very busy couple of months, hence not blogging for a while.  I have been working, temporarily as a florist for 2 days a week in my friend's florist.  Whilst it is really lovely to be working with flowers again and being able to 'keep my hand in', it has been a challenge to keep up with orders of my own work, as these two days would normally be studio making time.  So it has been a combination of child-care and floristry by day and every evening beavering away to make work for galleries.  In the last month I have made and delivered 150 pieces of jewellery and 70 lino prints to four new galleries or exhibitions:
-Rostra Gallery, in Bath
