Art on the Prom 08/29/2009
 
Not been saying much of late, up to my armpits in silk, paint and felt. Am off tomorrow to Felixstowe to Art on the Prom. Looking forward to it I think, as long as the weather is fine.

Lots of hand painted silk scarves and silk hangings, but have also been felting silk chiffon too. I love the dyeing of fibres and combining those fibres with dyed silks into a whole new fabric. Delicious.
It isn't just the painting and dyeing, all the scarves have to be washed and ironed when then are finished. I hate ironing, but I have to confess to enjoying ironing silk. Very satisfying to see the finished effect.

So hope to see you all at Art on the Prom. Think there are 86 stands, so 86 different artists will be showing their wares. Looking forward to seeing them too. It's always interesting seeing what other people are doing.

I do feel that I have not said much on my blog yet. Still feel very new to this and a bit strange. 
Must write more often. Should have lots to say after tomorrow and a bit more time in which to say it.

Next date on the Craft market agenda is Aldeburgh on 12th and 13th September when I plan to have lots of cards available too.

    I live in Suffolk with my husband John, where I paint in the garage and write in a cupboard - that's where the computer lives.

    Suffolk is on the east coast of England for those not familiar with the place, where the wind is called 'lazy' because it blows right through you, rather than going round.

    I ran a shop in Southwold for a number of years, selling through there as well as at local craft fairs, such as Heveningham and Halesworth, but have also exhibited wall hangings all over the place, mostly at Southwold's Buckenham Galleries, The Works at Beccles and more recently at Halesworth Gallery.

    2009 Was a good year with a solo exhibition at Ichameleon in Halesworth - a good venue, which I shall be repeating in October 2010. Lots of Craft Fairs and lots of talks to interested groups like WI and Art Societies which are always good fun. Thanks to all who invited me last year - I'm looking forward to several for this year and even for next year already.
