Sorry missed doing my blog again last week...
Anyway to keep you up-to-date, last weekend I went to two glass events... one was an informal get together of the west midlands group of GBUK at Julie Fountain 's house. I couldn't stop long, because I had get off to a stitching thing with Kate in the afternoon, but I met Charlotte, the new chair of GBUK, George, who gave me a few tips about chainmaille and a couple of others, whose names I am sorry, but I just cannot remember. We had a good natter, compared beads and Julie showed us how to use presses. Thank you Julie for hosting it and I look forward to the next one:)
On the Sunday I drove off to Llantrissant (just outside Cardiff) to the glass event to celebrate the re-opening of the Model House . Ray Skene (glass artist) hosted it all, with demos from himself, Lorna and Chris , tea and homemade cakes, and loads of hints and tips. Thank you Ray, it was well worth the drive:)
I also popped in to see Mike Cole , whose silver jewellery summer school I went to a couple of years ago - I think he was pleased to me, once he realised who I was:)
I've also been back over to The Beetroot Tree for our monthly artists network meeting - its so great to meet up with other artists and share our concerns and ideas.
Then yesterday I went over to Broseley for the Arts & Craft Fair. It seemed fairly well attended and I spoke to loads of people, and even sold some jewellery.
So, that's me up-to-date, oh, apart from thanks to Pauline, who got me loads of sewing machine bobbins for my polymer bead projects ...
