Well, its been over a week since I was 'dumped' and now I really should re-emerge into the blogosphere.
I am rather sad still but trying to be positive. Neither of us is moving out of the flat so I will still retain my studio space and the glorious Phileous Mogg will have a lovely place to live with both of us.
My art and writing has suffered quite a lot and so I haven't achieved a great deal. The odd bit of blocking out for a scene or a bit of cane splicing has been the majority of it.
The lovely Vix has given me a 'friendship cake' called Herman and it all seems a bit odd and gloopy but will give it the benefit of the doubt. I will also try to keep you folks updated about it.
My friend Cathy Wines died last Saturday having 'lost' (I do not like that word) her battle with long term illness. She was the first person who gave me the confidence to show my wares over six years ago and her advice and support took me a long way. My thanks and best wishes to her spirit wherever is may be right now.
I am going to take my Beathy (Cathys creations, a sort of frankenstein stuffed animal based around Igor's from Discworld books) Hippolyta with me to the funeral. I hope people wear Purky Products to my funeral someday.
There is an annual bead fair at the Racecourse in Wincanton and I attended it for the first time this year. Having had a look around it seems like a good event with lots of goodies on display but the only thing that took my fancy was the lampworking equipment. I watched a demonstration and it all seems straightforward, of course the advanced techniques will take years to master but I feel that my craft abilities would transfer into the new skill.
Lampworking equipment is now much more firmly ensconced in my 'to buy' pile.
On a polymer clay note, I networked with a nice chap whose name eludes me currently but his business card is in my bag. I will post his e-shop details up here later.
I finished the buttons I have spent ages procrastinating over and think that perhaps moving in the direction of a 'bead artist' might be a good idea. However, creative decison making is sort of beyond me currently.
Looking at all the wares on offer I felt incredibly light and inspired, surrounded by the pretty orbs and much more interesting books. I also felt rather depressed and like a failure because I have not achieved the goals that I set myself.
The next few weeks are going to be about regaining some of my creative confidence and channelling it into finishing projects.
Like these little buggers. They are stud earrings but I do not have the sterling silver backs for them. Pretty though, or at least I think so.
And this is just a random of a very old (now) test piece I did for the sheer joy of it.
Need more joy, I wonder if it comes in bottles?
Much love and thanks for your patience Purky people.
