Can't Be Everywhere... But I Try

I must write that title on the fridge... Much better to think of what I am achieving that what I am unable to get round to.


Actually Ive had a great couple of weeks. Out of 3 events the other Friday night, I chose to go to the Opening of the Fisher's Ghost Art Award. What a great turn out - there wasnt enough room to hear the actual announcements so a PA system was set up - unfortunately the noise of the crowd was such I wasn't able to hear who won (obviously not me ;). A really good show and I recommend a visit to Campbelltown to see it. Click the link to see the list of winners.

While you are on the computer - have a look at another show that opened that night - The Eutick Memorial Still Life Award at The Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery. Here is a link to the finalists. I missed the Balmain Art & Craft Show, the pictures I saw looked pretty fabulous.

I went on the Arcadian Artists trail and enjoyed visiting every venue. I also managed to meet up with many artists who either were on the trail or in it.









I presided over a meeting for the Ferry Artists, and on the weekend I tutored a workshop on fabric printing with linoleum blocks. I'd forgotten how much fun that is and I would really like to get printing in earnest again.


Things I didnt do.. 
Unable to attend North Shore Craft Group's Meeting and will not be able to exhibit with them in a couple of weeks due to no time and no work available. I didnt get to Greg Hansell's Open Studio in Windsor , also wouldnt have minded going to an opening in Katoomba Gallery ONE88. Missed an opening at Breathing Colours with Peter Griffen and Denise Lithgow. Ajewellry party was had without me at Mette Haulrik's and I wont be able to attend every service with a visiting evangelist Pr Patrick Johnson at my beloved church Potters House Parramatta

Still managing to be super busy as usual - but I have finished some projects and worked on others as well.

Some works on the go

Also, there is one more week to see mine and Taryn Malzards Show at Sassafras Creek Kurrajong.
Hope you get to be creative this week!
