Life’s a triptych

Thought I was there…. and then I went and had a dream last night (thanks Ruth) about another triptych! My work is all based on a series of related triptyches (can you say that?) Think I just have to include this one too, I had discarded it as stitch but I think it’s back in! Oh dear going to be doing a bit more sewing than I thought!

Spanx and the art of motor cycle maintenance

Not long to go. Just dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. Been running around sorting frames and cards and postcards this week, well hopping actually, yes the lovely crutches are still in use.  Decided to add Grayson Perry into my ‘women and books’ for good measure…can’t do any harm!

Here’s some more images that will be making an appearance.  Just read Sarah,s post… Last time in room six.  Really hard to believe… the end of an era really sad it’s all coming to a close…. hoping more to come ……

Winchester Art College

Yay! Managed to actually make an art show! Found the right art college building , place to park and everything! Quite an achievement as I am now sporting a rather lovely pair of crutches. Great evening with Sarah and Eloise. Lots to look at and lots of ideas for display for our show.

imageimageimageThanks to Sarah for the photographs, my hands were  otherwise engaged….yes my lovely crutches…not an extra piece of art…..but maybe……..

Memory Loss in Women Over 40

Memory loss 1: can I just say a huge thank you to Sarah (sarahwatersart@wordpress.com) who managed to help me with a password I can actually remember so that don’t need to change it every time I write a new blog!  Memory loss 2: realised I didn’t add half the photos I should have for my last blog.  Here they areimage

memory loss 3: went all the way to Chichester yesterday to see the MA Fine Art Show.  Got to the car park,  forgot purse so no money to park,  forgot cash card and cash card number so no access to potential cash,  the building was empty apart from two electricians who kindly informed me that there was no one there and no one to ask about the show.  Soooooo helpful! I am at the moment supporting a rather large bandage on my left leg and hobbling severely but this did not manage to elicit any further help.  Gave up!  Drove to West Dean, had emergency coffee ( scrabbled around and found  money!) and sewed two more boxes in the gardens.  Peace and equilibrium restored before getting lost around Westbourne looking for a science course….0h dear…
