Paperwork 1

Hello All!

Apologies for the delay, but i finally went to C3 yesterday to photograph (doofus me forgot the camera for the opening) my work. Please forgive my pretty terrible photography - not my strongest point I admit! Unfortunately c3's site is also un-updated with pics, so you'll just have to make do with these!




Ok they are even more boring than i thought - but look yay! hung on a wall for a change! I tried individual shots, however my computer (and brain) is struggling with rotation.

lovely framing work from the dudes at omnus conservation framing.

flurry of busy-ness business.

so i have had an actual actual weekend away from work, which is quite exciting, because it means i have had a chance to play and make and update!! I have been making cushions like they are back in style... for the first time.

Paperworks 1 opened last night and was a great success, pictures to come very soon i hope!! The show is on until 13th June, so get your arses down there to see some lovely work. there is also ample opportunity to enjoy the convent's coffee making skills and lovely grounds for wandering.

collage on fabriano note-card. approx 13 x 15 cm. my first attempt a collage so fine that it required tweezers. tiny ones. This is also (suprisingly) one of the first collage where images were cut and altered to fit, as opposed to a single stick and paste. woot!

new work resolution!!

So it is Tuesday night (i think) and i have been doing my semi-annual internet/blog hunt, and am now super inspired to be SUPER AMAZING!! I feel the urge to sew, draw, make preserves (especially make preserves) go for brisk walks in the early autumn morning and be generally busy busy busy! Unfortunately i am in the shop (yes that is a hint to come and visit me) all day tomorrow, but on the upside i have seven hours to write busy LISTS! Now that i have publicly posted my plans for busyness, there are no excuses! So keep your eyes out for some kind of creations by lucyjames!! (YAY!!)



see you soon xxx.
