Yesterday marked the end of a long exciting rollercoaster-ish journey. Wearable Art 2016 came to an end. I have just been so overwhelmed to the reception of my dress, the exposure, the friends that I have made and have plenty of ideas for 2017... however it is now Monday morning.... The postman has been and there is a letter for me...
I actually put two applications in. My second application 'Bloom 2' wasn't accepted and will now go on the back burner for Melville Sculpture Walk or I might even apply for Sculptures by the Sea - if I am brave enough!!
So this means I now have to start my Long Legged Birdies sculpture of which I am very excited about. I have collected children's book from Op Shops for the last few years and have a couple of suitcases full... Just the musty smell, the soft paper and perfect illustrations is enough to make me go weak at the knees! Books have been a big love of mine.. I sit and absorb, I get lost, I fly high... Think three large birds, all glassy and glossy with feathers made from vintage children's fairy tale books. Long stripey legs, large expressive eyes and shiny aluminium beaks times 3... 3 beautiful big bright colourful birds parading on the Rockingham Foreshore. I am so excited... did I already say that??
