Exhibition Day

This week has been fantastic. For a couple of days I was getting my paintings ready for the exhibition at Bursleden Brickworks heres a few photos
 
These are my pictures before mounting just after varnishing
Luckily they were left for a few days to dry while I went off to Kent to see the First Best Friend I ever made
Now Jayne (Jaynes Blog) is amazinng I arrived to freshly made rolls and baked ham with handmade pickle it was fantastic 
In the evening we had a delicious dinner and a catch up with two more old school friends 
The next morning I rose to the smell of freshly baked bread brilliant eh?
We had a shopping day in Bluewater were we indulged in a few craft shops and great food and milkshakes 
As a thankyou I gave her one of my Paintings 
She loved it I was so pleased 
On the last morning she made this fantastic cinnamon bun loaf it was very like chelsea buns totally delicious
and we then drove over to see her mum and dad two of my favourite people I always remember being young and thinking they were amazing I remember them dancing around their frontroom when I was about 11 years old and they have just never changed
After another hearty lunch in the Harvester I drove home always in my head that I really would love to move back to Kent xxxxxxxxx
Well back to the Exhibition Saturday was spent finishing off all the mounting ready for an early start on Sunday I had my kit all set up to ready to do some demos It was a very enjoyable day and I had lots of interest in this art I even got invited to do a talk and demo at a local craft group x





This is my demo table before I started 
There was a lot going on a few too many pics for here so I will put them on my facebook page 
but all in all a very fun 1st week of the holidays 
I also went to a very crazy hen night on saturday evening as I have another lovely friend getting married this week
