some sculptures

well art school has wrapped up for the year, now just have to get organised for assessment next week, have actually been able to sit back and put my feet up for the past couple of days to recharge my batteries as I haven't really stopped for the past couple of months, so here I sit in front of the telly with my laptop on my knee.
Below are a few of my pieces that I've finished off over the past few weeks in the studio at school in between my travels.
Can you tell what the spiky bits are?

these are some cork tile offcuts one of the others in the studio was throwing out and as usual I can't bare to see anything thrown out!

this was a bamboo wind chime that had seen better days

can't decide whether to hang this piece or lay it flat, what do you think?

These are my pieces at the gallery down in Milton that I drove down on Sat to pick up as I need them for assessment next week, don't you love the old plate stand that I've displayed them on, again a piece I rescued form one of the others at school before it got cut up.

my 2 boys

just thought I'd share this photo of my 2 boys with you all, Mackenzie on the left and Callan on the right with Zelda our old dog,
I needed a photo of the 2 of them and didn't have a recent one so dragged them away from their computers out onto the back verandah

catch up

well, have I been busy since my last post, have taught a monthly class in Sydney, a 2 day class with The Illawarra Quilters and been to both Brisbane and Adelaide to work the Quilt shows in both states, plus in between still sort out all of the fallout from the accident, oh and also still found some time to go to Art School and make some sculptures.

Just before I went to Brisbane the gear that had gone to the desert with the guys arrived back on a truck and I've never seen 3 so relieved guys in a long time, they had a show the following weekend so the gear was desperately needed.

we have many strippy marsh frogs in various ponds around our yard but we've got a new visitor, Tim found him last night, he's a tree frog that looks like someone has splattered fluro green paint on him, though the spots don't show up in the photo, he smiled for the camera

I have discovered a form of doodling called Zentangles, I have decided to do one a day, this is what I've done so far, haven't done todays as yet, need to get a different sort of pen as this one bleeds, but I'm happy with my first efforts.
