This is a wallhanging which I made as a commission earlier this month. It seems to have been very well received, and i really enjoyed making it. I have now also been commissioned to make a screen and a window blind for another customer, as part of the decor in a newly refurbished cottage in Snainton. I hadn't realised how exciting it would be to visit the client and measure, and design the product to suit the situation - but again, very happy with brief, and the quotation and specification sheets have been signed off this weekend by the client - so full steam ahead. Delivery w/c 9th December. I'll post photographs as i go along.
Thanks to an impromtu chip butty in Lockton on Friday, I was made aware that the final deadline for North Yorkshire Open Studio 2014 applications is tomorrow!! (very grateful - thank you Sue!) Spent today putting my application together. I hope I am successful in being selected again. This year it will feel really good to be part of the scheme, with my screens and wallhangings. I will have BCFT Harrogate under my belt by then, and will therefore have a good product range to display and hopefully sell.
Work on my Darwin exhibition for Coastival goes on - but mostly in my head at the moment. I am anticipating getting a good long run at it over Christmas. The preparation has been 3 years in the making, so I am hopeful that the work itself will fall into place quite easily. Once the current exhibition in the gallery is taken down next weekend I should be able to see some physical and mental space.
And then there is the Lockton situation.. . . after a nightmare year with bad tenants, unsuccessful auctions and sadness at finally deciding to virtually give it away, our buyer has pulled out! Lots of soul searching and decision making has had to take place - but we have come up with another cunning plan, Firstly though, we need to weather-proof it against the winter.
. . Watch this space for updates!
