A few new cards for the market.
A slow start back to life drawing.

Well it has been some time since my last blog. So much has happened since February. A fantastic and inspiring trip to Italy with my friend Robyn. My darling, talented Dad dying the week I returned.
A return to life drawing after 4 months off.
Some successful markets and another one this Sunday.
A new art challenge, watercolours.Small projects inspired by my Tuscany experience.

Heart cards

A very wet day is always a good day to get creative.
My friend Mairi and I have booked to have a stall at Kirribilli Market next month.
As I don't have a lot of stock left after our pre xmas market and I haven't been creating lately I decided I had better get started.
Being Valentines Day today I was inspired to do a heart theme.
I have started on some new lino cuts but also did some watercolour hearts and machine stitched them onto the cards.

After chatting with a friend about my blog today I thought I had better add a Xmas update. Xmas angels are still at my front door and xmas lights are glowing. I enjoy the relaxed feeling after Xmas. Even though I am back at work, there is still a holiday feeling in the air.
Life drawing has finished and doesn't start back until February. I enjoyed having a plus size model at the end of term.I tend to work very large ,so it was a challenge to work a little smaller and fit a lovely rounded woman on the page.
I also managed to attempt another sculpture a week before xmas.i need to do more pre planning next time or at least have an idea before I begin.

Mona Vale market

Last Sunday my friend Mairi and I had a Stall as part of Artbeat in the hall at Mona Vale. We had a fun day and loved being part of Mona Vale's first market day.Really enjoyed setting up our stall and got lots of positive feedback and both had a successful day.

Back at life drawing class and loving it. Wishing I could work a little smaller like others in the class. Maybe I should take smaller paper.
Working on a few new lino cuts.
