Catch Up

Time for an update.  Though nothing to show you.  Truth is I've been knocked sideways by a head cold, sounds so simple and I've been absolutely taken aback that it really floored me.  But then I hear current bug is like that.  Unable to do anything, couldn't see half the time, and room spinning the rest!

I managed to send in a form re a future Exhibition with the ERTF.  Had my doubts I'd got that right, but a few days later response came in so, phew, did manage right email after all.  Few months to sort that one though.

As usual, I've got deadlines which all hit at the same time, ie mid June, after that, nothing til Sept.  So now I literally have to take the dust off the sewing machine, power it up with some super speedy juice and get cracking. Teach the cats how to make tea....  excuse for cute cat pics

Bandit, who is not allowed to sit up here on K's camera....

Spike, supervising work table, yes there is space for me here...

So off to The Material Girls this week, nice to see everyone and thrash out ideas and thoughts. or not.... 

Home and need to make a phone call re my Burnham Art Trail venue - can you come and see me tomorrow. OK, so nice drive out in the sunshine yesterday to have a meeting about allocated space. Gulp.  Here are my details:

Happy Dancing

Well do you want the good news, or the good news?

I'm a very happy bunny, news to share.  Back in the Burnham Art Trail this year.  That's only part of the excitement, the other part is the venue.

Chapel Studio

Albert Road

Burnham on Crouch

CM0 8DZ

I'm super excited, because this venue is a new experience for me.  I have now participated in 14, yes 14 Art Trails.  12 of them as an individual artist and two as part of other groups, in four different towns.

So far I've had work in an Osteopaths, Funeral Directors, Hair Salon, Restaurant, Opticians, Bank, Tourist Centre, Historic House, Shop and a Church.  All of these are what makes, for me, Trails, enjoyable, the challenge of the existing business and the area available to display.

However, the Happy Dancing is because this is the first time ever I've had work in a Studio.  I know I will be alongside others, but I don't know who yet, but it does mean visitors get to see a few artists at the one place.

Note your diaries, the Trail runs:

20th-28th June 2015

This news has brought about a decision re the opportunity I received recently.  As there is a slight cross over in dates, although it is possible, there are other things heading to making June look a busy month, so I think sense says I will not try for the recent option.

Updates, and more details will be sure to follow.

I've been accepted into the 

Rochford Art Trail

18th-27th September 2014

Venue details awaited

Woweee

Sometimes you turn around and its all happening.  Paperwork flodding in, well if 2/3 things can constitute a flood!!
I've been accepted into the Burnham Art Trail again - very pleased with that.  The website is in preparation of updating for this year's Trail so do keep checking.  I am back at a venue I've had before - Burnham Osteopathic Clinic which is on Station Road.
Next came the application forms and information for Rochford Art Trail.... got a little while to go before submitting for that, but as we know time soon evaporates.

The Material Girls and our next event: Textiles on the Hill.    The Material Girls are organising and hosting this weekend event.  It promises to have lots to enjoy.  An opportunity to see the international collaboration between Articulation and The Material Girls  with our joint exhibition: Articulated Materials - Bridging Waters.  Alongside that we have invited guest textile artists to demonstrate their skills, will offer artwork for sale, textile art supplies from Craft Arena... and if that's not enough there will be tea/coffee and cake!!!
Yesterday was our meeting day, lots to discuss, but this event is now taking shape.  I am going to do a demonstration for the event - first up - 11am/12noon on Saturday 26th May - I will be showing bookbinding techniques.
And if that isn't enough to discuss - we also got the project brief for 2014, big gulp!!!  Talk about head spin.  However, this is how I've found textile life to be - madness with everything pouring in all at once, followed by quiet periods when you can get down to doing.  This is why my best friends are now highlighter pens and post-it notes!!
So today its fill in the diary... and work my way through some paper tasks, good job at the weekend I managed to find space on my table!
