I pitched a Tent at London

I totally enjoyed myself at Tent London. On the 18th morning we were all relaxed and ready to meet the world. Four days of non-stop chats with press, public and trade! It was fun, exciting and exhausting. The party on Friday evening began at 8 in the evening, by 9 the place was heaving. Finished the evening with curry on Brick Lane.

Love Letter

Finished the quilt I've been working on for the better part of the week! I wanted the surface to be evocative of a patchwork of text. Letters from friends and family, doodles in my sketchbook all became part of this intensely personal piece. My fascination with stamp perforations translated into the side panels, with magnified circular motifs framing the printed central panel.

Fingers Crossed

The big white envelope that I'd been waiting for (for what seemed like ages) finally arrived. I got the Arts Council's award! The Arts Council has awarded me a 'Grant for the Arts', an award that supports artistic excellence in England. I can spend the grant on participating at key shows and marketing.

Grinning ear to ear, I noticed the huge smile on the logo. Quite apt, don't you think?

Fleeting moments

As days hurtle towards Tent's opening in two weeks, everything seems a blur.

Rushing off in the rain to my next errand today, I looked up as the skies suddenly cleared. And there it was, as if urging me to pause. My rainbow.


So, pause I did. Went to the opening of Connect - an exhibition by Contemporary British Silversmiths at Quest Gallery, with my friend Jess. Afterwards, we all had dinner together at home. Good art, good laughs and good food made for a perfect evening.
