Once again it has been a rather long time between postings. I really have no excuse other than the boring 'I've been busy'... but I really have! This term I have started working with two primary schools, helping out with their Castaways sculptures. We have a mermaid and a UFO in the makings. Both coming on brilliantly. This month sees the showcase of wearable Art and also the launch of an exhibition that I am participating in. Two of my lovely artist friends and i are taking over CASM at the end of June for an eclectic mix of recycled material sculptures. We all work very differently so it is going to be an interesting curatorial session to put it all together. My birds in cages hung beautifully under the big umbrella outside Nolita's italian Restaurant in Claremont at the beginning of this month. All in aid of the Scribblers Festival. All 15 installations by 15 national and international artists scattered around the town were related to 'the written word'. I actually sold 8 of the 10 cages that I made (big thank yous to the lovely Annette brown) and will be running a workshop to make them in October, registrations open in August, watch this space. They would make a great Christmas present! I also applied for and was successful in a new job application this month. Workshops making lanterns from recycled materials. Culminating in a lantern parade through the Castaways Sculptures on the beach at Rockingham in October. I have to gather enough materials for at least 200 people to take part in several workshops throughout September and October... Thinking it is going to be a mammoth task but i am really looking forward to it. I am also back to running another week of Big Heads in the July school holidays as the children I had last year made some exceptional pieces and council are keen for a repeat performance. I am so very lucky to be involved in these projects. They really are such good fun. Oh and i must just tell you that I went up to His Majesty's Theatre in Perth yesterday for a Media Launch for Wearable Art whereupon I had a very short interview with Today Tonight - my worst nightmare. In amongst all of the 'ums' and 'ers' there might be a little bit of worthwhile content... maybe not!! I am sort of hoping I end up on the cutting room floor... lol Needless to say once that was over I could enjoy the surroundings. It really is a most beautiful theatre. If you are interested in my Wearable Art 2019 entry, I am just about to add a page to my Wearable Art section although it might take me a day or so as i have a lot to put on there!! Thank you for reading.. :) Until another time.. byeeeeeeeeeee
