I have been so busy my blog has become quite neglected!
I have a new recycled public art commission, making a sculpture out of empty milk cartons for Dairy Crest, this will be
displayed in a Morrissons supermarket and they are delivering me 300 + empty cartons soon! This is part of their promotion for the new Jugit system, which is intended to reduce the waste from milk cartons by 75% . Here is a rough drawing, but the full effect wont be realised till I have it in 3D!
I have 2 new commissions, one for a lovely family in Scotland making a mountain scene and another making panels for the grooms gifts for a wedding, 2 lily panels and a train! Both of these commissions will let me use my new toy, I mean tool. I have finally saved up for a really good quality engraving pen and I have been practicing with it. I am very excited about the detail I will now be able to add to my work and it will allow me to personalise items more professionally too.
Craft fair season is in full swing and the Hand Made Home fair in Exeter this weekend was a great success, I sold 25 of my brooches!!! and many other things, thanks everyone who came and supported it!
This Sunday I will be at the Heart of Devon Show, in Bow outside Crediton, so please pop along if you are in the area.
For the rest of the week I am making stock to replace all the stuff I sold last weekend and my Folksy shop has been busy, so there have been lots of trips to the post office! Its busy, busy, busy, just how I like it!
OH and my new Indie Smiles article was published yesterday, writer with the most comments wins a prize, so please go read it and comment away!
