Llan D C


I have had a busy week, just got back from Llanamon D.C decided were to put up my installation and picked up some more fabric from Diana, she been a star and got me the fabric off ebay...

Spent yesterday sewing all the stripes of fabric together for my work, got to do another 6-7 metres to do. It as took me longer than I thought..
This is were I start worrying as I don't know if it will work until I have done this and it is too late then to re-do it... The Exhibition opening is at night that is why I have gone for this Bright flouscent fabric..

Did some work yesterday, Not happy about the marquette I made it is too busy. I need to re-thread it.. Drill the holes smaller There is mixed reviewer about them half my family like the larger drilled holes and half like the smaller ones...

Some of the images I took are better than the marquette. I think I am going to enter some of my images into an art open and see want happens... I take photos to document my work, I do get some good feedback about them... I think I will try and see if they get selected..

I have not done anything about my exhibition coming up, as I have been decorating my Daughters Bedroom for the last few days. She and my Son as help out and been great, We finished it today just got to put everything back in the room.. She had new wardrodes and when my Husband started to put it together He found the side panal broke in two, phone the company it may take 2 weeks before the new selection comes..
That means there going to be clothes everywhere. Will it be finished for my Daughters 16 Birthday... I hope so..... I just want the house back, Why is it everywhere in the house looks a mess when you decorating one room.
I had an interview today, not sure how it went, should here soon....

I went Llanarmon D C today, to look around the village to select a place to work a site specfic installation, I was part of this exhibition last night and it was a great experience making work for outside, it comes with lots of different problems.
I have just relised that Diana one of the organises of this art group...

I have these idea of having my work up over our head so the sun will cast shadows of the threads and hoops. but there was no good areas to do this. I will have to go back to the drawing board. My Daughter came with me and was a great help, I think she got use to my ideas...

My Children and Husband went to see my exhibition today, they said it was okay... It is strange when my family goes to see my work. It is very nerving.. They did not say much so not sure if they like it or not...

I have nearly finished my case study, just got the conclsion to do, which I am strugging with, so having a break from it.
Housework is a bit loss too, just cannot get going on that too. I did clean the bathroom but my daughter dedcided to have a bath, so it did not last. Took the hoover upstair ask my children to do their rooms, but both of them disappeared. When the were smaller they did they rooms and help me out but now they DO NOT. Does anyone know how to get them to help out.. I have done the money thing, the leaving their rooms until I cannot stand it anymore. I think that's it they know I will give up in the end and do it...
I had a telephone interview this morning, so please send me good thoughts....

I have finished making the paper balloons, just need to give them a coat of PVA.It started to rain so I had to bring them all in to my kitchen, my husband going straight to see his Dad in hospital so will not be home until late, which is a good thing, It gives me time to tidy up a bit. Not that he would care if it was not tidy, it's just me. My children did not get out of bed until dinner time today, I remember when I use to do that, I had a lay in until 9am which was good.
My Father-in-law might be coming home for Easter weekend, which will begood for him, I went up to the Hospital yesterday with my Husband, My Father-in-Law seemed down, fed up of being away from home, He only been home 3 weeks this year....

Work at home today, had 24 papier balloon to do for Oriel Wrexham they are running Children Easter workshop. I have been employed to do the presentation for Honor ( Education Officer). It does take longer than you think. My Daughter and friend was a great help. Honor was really good to let me do this at home as the Children are off school for Easter, it just makes it easier all round if I am at home.
Decided to do them outside are it was dry today. My neighbours wanted to know what I was up too, What I do to make some money so I can do my artwork. Still looking for a job, Want I do for Honor is not regular enough.
