Popped in to say hello

Been a little busy recently-

Getting ready for a fair this weekend... 

Going with a group of fellow artists from TAM 

We have nicked named ourselves 

'TAM on Tour'

They are a good group of nutty folk

I fit right in.

Nervous?

Of course! 

Fingers crossed :)

Back to the day job

Back to the day job.

(which I love)

Post TAM art weekend.

(which went well)

Painting commissions.

(adding hair by hair, whisker by whisker)

Happy?

You betcha!

Getting Ready...

....for TAM.

However, am  'I'  ready for TAM?

No.

My assistants don't seem to be that bothered either....

Well, it is less than two weeks away

and as long as I have a coffee

and my summerhouse studio...

...it will be all ok!

(hopefully ....!)

Taster-expo a-go-go

Spent an industrious couple of hours

Monday afternoon,

helping to set up our mini exhibition.

Art came in thick and fast,

it was wonderful seeing it all arrive. 

 

After a while, it was all starting to get together

and look rather good!

And what is exciting,

is the excellent feed back we are receiving -

hope this bodes well for our weekend

TAM - Trawden Artists & Makers Open Studios event.

I think we have a crackingly good team!

Well done ladies :)

Now for something quite different on my desk!

 I opened box today - a special delivery..... 

I knew what it was, but nothing prepared me for how excited I was going to be!

Squeeeeee!

Lots and lots of flyers inviting folk to our

TAM art experience and open trails

Did I mention squeeeeeee?

No ? 

ok here goes.....

SqUeeeEeEeeeee!

what's on my desk today?

 A bit of a scamp appeared on my paper today.

A quick moving, bright eyed and certainly bushy tailed red squirrel.

Such a scallywag!

She better be careful -

Raf is behind her.

Still have to complete my little squirrel,

just have to stop her bustling about :)

Two more designs for my cards - Raf the fox and Emma the red squirrel.

A little while ago, I mentioned I was getting involved in an art event,

well, it has been kickstart and things are really happening -

how exciting!

TAM - trawden artists & makers

Ready for his new home

This little fellow is finally finished - his new owners are more than happy (phew!), so all that remains is to add his twisted jute cord and he will be ready for his new home :)

I have also completed another birthday commission of two dogs. I shall reveal all soon!

Until then - a sneak preview of what's on my desk today - a rather handsome cat on reclaimed slate. he is destined to be a table decoration rather than a wall hanging. I shall share progress as I go along.

Speaking of progress, we are still working on our art exhibition and open studios for this autumn, there will be a Facebook page up soon, so keep your eyes peeled and I shall let you know when it is up and running.

As artist makers confirm they are attending, I shall add links and webpages - all good and exciting stuff!
