Another reason I have been sorting my work out is because I have the builders coming. You won't believe how spoilt and decadent I am being! I am having two bedrooms knocked into one so that I can sleep in my own little palace with so much room I can drape myself anywhere! ( I think my hubby may be relegated to the shed, I can't bear the thought of his socks spoiling the ambience!) So, basically, the work has to go to a place of safety, no brick dust or plaster near my work thankyou very much. It is all getting lovingly wrapped and packaged and good old mum is coming to take it to her house, thanks mum. Anyway I digress, but I had to share, I am so excited!
More 'artwork' now. These pieces were also done for my plant drawing module (2003). Yes I know they are pins and keys but I think the tutors were delighted that I produced any painting at all so tolerated my artistic licence.
As you know I have plans. This weekend I hope to have some more work finished and would love to change the header on my blog and the shop, make it more current. In a couple of weeks I am aiming to have a big shop update with some things that I think may sell easier, smaller, less expensive things that I get amazing feedback on. The book is coming slowly, a little inconvenience called work is holding that up, and to cap it all I am having horrendous problems with my computer. A virus?? Oh I hope not!! My son bless him, said ''mum, buy a new hard drive £270 that's all'' Well I was thinking ''how much Marimekko fabric could I buy with that for my new boudoir!'' So hard drive, Marimekko fabric, work, book, builders and to prove that despite all this running round in my head I am busy. busy, damp stretching is taking place as we speak!
see you at the weekend if I haven't lost my mind!
