Mali

Just back from Sydney... she is getting so big and I miss her today

Back at work

Back at work... here is my little couple covered with clay...

Plaster goes on

Plaster finished

Ready for the pour

Done. Now I wait and make sure it doesn't leak before it goes off... it usually takes around 12 hours.

Sanctuary Cove

Just back from a very successful venture with Art Promotions at Sanctuary Cove

Then back to catching up with these

And these guys... want to get them ready for a mould before I go to Sydney to see Amalia on Friday.

Im working hard at the moment to stay on top with my little figurines.

Also I will be working here for a week at the Art Festival in conjunction with the Sanctuary Cove Festival. It promises to be very successful, starting with a cocktail party on Friday night.

Laurie was accepted as a finalist for the Noosa Regional Gallery Travelling Scholarship so that's good. He will be showing this

new bits

Back to blah stages as I add new elements....

Also had a paper making day as well.. this weekend Kath is coming from Sydney and there is a family day at Julie's..

moving along

This might look like a step backward but it is in fact a huge leap forward.. she is now relaxed and natural and her head is just right.

We've booked a trip to Spain and London for Oct and Nov so that's good...Laurie wants to see what he can do about galleries there.

I have made a commitment to myself to stop mucking around and really apply myself to learning the language..
When I was young I found it so easy to learn something new... I only had to read something a few times to retain it.... what has happened!!!! I didn't feel those neurons dying..

wax

This feels like a backward step.... something is very wrong and I think I have to re measure the heads... probably have to re do them. I want to show the whole process even though it looks really bad at the moment. I want to show you that it's always a real struggle.. they don't just fall into place.

I took my sister to see Robin Hood this morning, she was very happy. The costuming and sets were very good.

Oh and Im going to the ballet to see Swan Lake for my birthday... what a treat.

Tommorrow it's high tea for the Good Samaritans and then I am in the studio with attack on my mind and no excuses!
