.jpg) |
| It's official I will be open to the public from Saturday September 28th Wed - Sun 10 - 4 x te |
 |
| Things are really starting to come together now Dan has hung the bee frames in the window as you can see I still have one to finish and tables are now up |
 |
| Pictures are going up on the shelf But we wont put the picture hooks on the top rail till the end 3 more boxes of art waiting to be opened |
 |
| The clothes rack is up and Mabel is dressed The wall behind Mabel will also be hung with paintings |
 |
| The cabinet is full |
 |
| My work area is looking a little better but I do keep getting distracted |
 |
| By things like this Inspired by a blogspost from the awesome Susan Bowers |
 |
| I had a little play with some egg and some ink |
 |
| I do like the results I did some other eggy playing which I hope to show you tomorrow x te |
 |
| Things are coming along nicely in the gallery/retail space The dispaly cabinet is now up |
 |
| Sadly the same cannot be said of the studio Looking from the gallery space |
 |
| Moving in and it is not getting any better |
 |
| Guess what I will be doing for the next week In all fairness vast quantitiies of stuff were stashed in here while the floor was being painted But it still needs sorting and homing Less than 2 weeks to opening day x te |
 |
| The entrance to the studio complete with netting to keep out the swallows My actual space is up the back to the right out of sight |
 |
| and this is what it looks like now that Dan has filled it in with a big glass sliding door |
 |
| Inside still needing some work but there is now some naturally dyed silk curtains up to screen off the back section where Dan's stuff is kept |
 |
| Things start to look a little better when places to put art go up So this is my studio coming along ready to open at the end of September The floor has now been painted so I can now start the final process of putting it all together Signs have been ordered for the highway Today is abysmal pouring rain so not much happening except staying warm by the fire I also taught a wonderful small group over in Northcliffe this week Lots of all Natural Mixed Media Techniques and I was lucky enough to receive 2 treasures in return Some Bloodroot and some Madder root So both will be being planted in my dye garden for fuure fun x te |
 |
| This is the cover of the sample book I have been working on |
 |
| It is composed prinicaply of teabags and a semi transparent paper I have Fully transparent when covered in wax |
 |
| I am exploring different ways of working with them |
 |
| Some are fully covered with the teabag and some only partially |
 |
| Some feature Xanthorrhoea Resn |
 |
| each has the page cut out behind them so I can see the light coming through |
 |
| Stitch |
 |
| As I am working on a series that will be framed in old bee frames |
 |
| I love the detail |
 |
| when I view them placed in front of a window |
 |
| But the detail changes when the light is removed |
 |
| Giving a whole different look at night |
 |
| The reason for all this activity is the upcoming Great Southern Art Trail for which I will be opening my studio to the public More details shortly Above pigments and resin ready for sale |
