Triangle Multiples

Today is the THIRD day IN A ROW that I've been in my beautiful studio. It feels great! I've made more time for it, and a free weekend has been a lovely way to ease myself into making more time for studio and creating. I have made some things I really like, and which were fun to make. Working with multiples, thinking about an exhibition / arts trail event, where I show all the 'multiple' work I've been creating. Mostly centred around the Poppy pieces, but also on other multiples, things I have collected, like these metal triangles, which were in an old frame, keeping the back on and in place. Some of them are rusting, they are very sharp, and I used some extra strong and thin double sided tape to attach them on. It seems to fix most things, although some of the objects I have created are 3D and I'm playing with a glue gun today, to test the fix of that. I have started a shopping list, what do I need to make what I want to make, and have on-hand in the studio instead of being out and up and down Gloucester road shopping for big rolls of paper. Also I'm measuring up my old frames to find big paper for, or glass to fill the frames with, if it's been smashed or used for something else.

Lovely week in the Studio

Creating a wall using hung drawings I'm working on (although they do flap about too much)Frames ready to be cleaned/paintedText project artwork, taken out of crappy frames and ready to go into re-restored frames. (Restored with love this time, not a deadline. )Spraying the frames - smooth, matt finish.Here's a few, complete. I like hanging them and seeing them collectively, rather than wrapping them in cling-film straight away, ready for selling at Bristol Harbourside Market (more about that later, but for now, here's the Facebook and the Twitter)Sweet peas from the garden - one of the last batches. Lovely to have them in the studio
