Firstly I’m sorry I didn’t get round to writing a post on Friday but my exciting news is that my glassware will be available to buy in Quay Presents, down on the Quay in Exeter, very soon. I’m so pleased to have found another outlet quite quickly after Exetra closed. My space in the shop …
I wanted to write a blog today as I have some special offers in my shop but I’ve had little inspiration on what to write. I’m sure other people have the same problem, so this will be a short post! My offers are because it’s my birthday this week 🙂 and by Friday I may …
Decided to do a Folksy Friday blog today. It is inspired by my first attempt at painting a horse, as mentioned in my last post, although a loose connection! I’m pleased with him and feel that I got the mane right in the end. So my theme for today is brown. I did say it …
All of you who have owned animals will understand this. I had to put my 16yr old cat to sleep at the weekend, 2 months after losing her brother and this is the reason for lack of blogs last week. She had tumours in her stomach and other complications, so there was no question that …
With the strange weather we’ve had I’m only now able to tell if my sunflowers will be monster ones again. I can report that 2 of the surviving ones will definitely have multiple flowers but the plants are no way near as big as last years at the moment. The flowers are not even out …
It is blissfully quiet at my house today and I just realised why. The baby seagull has stopped squawking and is learning to fly – yipee! It is obviously so pleased with itself that it no longer needs to be twittering for it’s mum. I managed to get a photograph of one of its mini …
My blog today includes some of my favourite things I’ve found on Folksy. There are too many to list, so this is a very small selection! Brooch from Ellie’s Treasures Little Dotty Jewellery Acrylic painting on canvas by GweddusArt Isle of Wight Clock by Dew Drop Crafts
I’ve not exhibited in a gallery exhibition yet, so can’t really tell you the pros and cons. However I do enjoy looking round them. Gloss art in Exeter have just opened a new one displaying work from Devon based artists. I went to their open evening last night and it is definitely worth a visit, …
For the first time I failed to do 2 blogs in a week last week, unless you count reblogging! I do have a good excuse, a customer wanted a pet portrait but she needed it by the end of the week, which gave me 3 days. This was achieved just, I was baking the glass …
The weekend didn’t start well with the village fair being cancelled. I was looking forward to it but the fields were too soggy! So in light of my positive blog on rain, I’ve been busy creating 2 new products. The first are sun catchers because we might get some sun one day! I decided to …
