Every cloud…

Managed to fall down the stairs on Thursday, thought I’d broken my ankle! Honest! However only a bad sprain. So, on the plus side spent Friday, prostrate, adding to my boxes and got a free pass sans children today and been experimenting with my new encaustic medium. Don’t think it’s meant for textiles but it’s interesting, if stinky. Here are some of my boxes and results of using the encaustic. And no, I am not sharing the disasters here…

…also just discovered one plus side to living in a building site: at some stage the empty shell looks a bit like a gallery. Right, off to melt more wax. Ps my images owe a lot to Freud and Jenny Saville.

West Dean Visit

Went to West Dean looking for courses and inspiration! Got some great contacts that I can follow up on. Intended to visit MA show at Chichester too but had small person in tow so decided to leave for later on in the week. Desperate to set up something solid to follow on from course now top up at Eastleigh not going ahead for a while.

Inspiration

Went to open studios in Westbourne. Robina Richter had her work on display at her home with other artists. Wonderful atmosphere and great work to look at! Feeling quite inspired to get involved with this next year. Robina also kindly agreed to lend me some of her display equipment, still trying to get my head around how my final piece will look. It keeps changing! Not quite there yet!
