I have been enjoying showcasing my new work at Rye Art & Craft Fair, which is held monthly at Rye Community Centre. I haven’t been contributing every month, but hope to be doing the August and September ones if things don’t get too hectic at work. New paintings are focusing on human/animal relationships based on found photographs. I haven’t stopped with the papier mache, and plan to do some more larger pieces that have the potential to be commercial too. Large vessels and bowls are what I have in mind. I am also having a go at some more figurative pieces that can be used to dress the foyer at The School. It’ll be interesting to try and create something that is big and bold without looking too schoolish. Will be thinking Rachel Feinstein…
I also went a bit mad when visiting Uppingham Yarns, and have somehow committed myself to making a series of large rug/blankets for the winter months. I have some gorgeous colours, and have already completed a small soft green blanket that has been felted after crocheting. I can’t wait to get some feedback, and am hoping for some sales or commissions as I just love making them but can’t just keep making them for myself!
