What Have I Been Up To....

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the short hiatus but I have been busy doing this and that, trips here and there....

So I wanted to let you all know that I have sold one of my submitted art pieces to the Below 65 Gallery Winter Art Fair.

 Can you see the red SOLD note :) made me soooooo happy!!!!!!!

I've been trying to regularly add new products to my shop's website, what do you think?

 Freeform Crochet Cuff - Inspired by Tudor fashions.

 Upcycled Yarn Coasters -

can be hand dyed by the customer to perfectly match their home deco.

 You can now personalise your Mug Cozies -

click on the picture to view the listing

and benefit from the lower Christmas pricing option.

 Added a new colour combo Jersey Yarn Wrist Cuff.

I recently went beach combing and found some great shells, driftwood pieces and seaglass fragments, this led to me altering my listed Fiber Art piece.

Its relisted here.

Well I have to go now, so bye for now.

This is just a handful of what I have created in my arts and craft class I'll share more with you another time.

My First Art Exhibition Experience

Hi Everyone,

Today I went to the Below 65 Gallery to see my pieces that I submitted to their Winter Art Fair event.

At the gallery I saw many unique and beautifully created works of art. I particularly liked the large wooden mosaic submissions, an acrylic or oil piece which had hidden painted animals within its finished painting, and an acrylic painting of a barn owl in flight.

 

Seeing my pieces on display was exciting and I felt very proud of myself. this was my first time exhibiting anywhere and I hope there will be many more opportunities like this in the future.
