Quick post today as I'm already 'late' with it & off to work in 45 mins, then at 10pm tonight I'm on holiday! So I'll have nearly 3 weeks to fit in all the hundreds of little jobs to do before a show & then sit quietly (!) for 12 days enjoying all my hard work & hoping others do to. I'm sure it'll be fine. Thanks SO MUCH for all your kind & supportive words, much appreciated. The Sunday in between the 'gallery' is closed so I get to spend some time with my uncle & sister in law who are up for their anual visit.
Took the DH along to see the hanging space & he too thought there were many more pics than there were (& was relieved that i have enough) of artist Sian Armstrong, no link, I don't think. She paints sheep & trees, lovely & she's been so helpful to me. Had a walk about the lovely little place.
A sweet village made very popular by 'Hamish Macbeth' & Robert Carlyle.
must watch some reruns.
Didn't think i'd be able to make a collage, oh no, failure! But the DH needed the shared table cleared to do some D ringing & stringing of frames etc & as i cleared I liked the mixture of golds neutrals & blues so I stuck them together & stitched a bit & rubbed over it with a gold wax stick. I still had some of these bits so I did more sticking stitching & rubbing with the intention of cutting it in half for either side of the first piece. I quite like it, my first 'spare! About 12" x 4"
I will find time & head space to visit everybody, I miss you guys!
What will I do afterwards, I was asked, well, there's a question ;)

Have a Happy Holiday and a wonderful show. Hugs
You'll get there and it will be wonderful!
Nothing like a good post of rust, collage and a seaside village. Have a wonderful show and enjoy your time off. I'm about to be a bit absent myself with a trip back east and a workshop.

I love this collage, not least because of the impromptu way you "stuck it together and stitched a bit"! You've inspired me to dig my machine out of hibernation! I remember Hamish Macbeth, and made a pilgrimage to that village many moons ago.
Have fun! Good luck! Love the anchor pic!
There's a lot more of to this cutting, sticking and stitching than you make out! I've tried. I do hope you get a few minutes to yourself in your holiday from work, we're with you there.
Have a great show. The spears collage is excellent. Some fabric wrapped around that anchor and chain could provide you with lots of inspiration later!
I'm a little late with a comment because summer finally arrived and I have been enjoying it! I know your show will go GREAT and you will have a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. Wish I could attend.
Relax, enjoy the ride!!♥
