Fibre and Clay launched


Well, it's up and running. We had a fabulous night last night, plenty of nibbles and drinks and, of course, friends coming to help celebrate. I must thank everyone who came, I do appreciate the support.
I was really nervous beforehand, hoping that everything would be alright, but I needn't have worried. The room was full and there were plenty of appreciative remarks about both Heather and my work.
I'll go again and get some more photos of the individual works (and see if any get sold?) over the next month, as it is up till the 3rd November.

Weaving way too slowly

Early this year I applied to have an exhibition at the Bolin Bolin gallery at Bulleen Art and Garden, a nursery not far from me that has resisted the temptation to put in a coffee shop, but has a really lovely gallery instead. The exhibition is in October, and while that seems along way away, it's not!

I am going to do a series of three woven structures, this is the first. They should have been completed. I will get this off in the next couple of days, and hopefully the next two (copper wire and plastic piping) will be quicker. At least I don't have to collect my insert supplies.

I am, however, very pleased with the way it is weaving up. Using fine nylon wire can be annoying as it does like to do its own thing, but the effect is fine and ethereal.
