well i have actually been busy doing a creative scotland visual arts grant application form and a glasgow visual artists grant scheme application - if any of you has filled one of these out before, you'll appreciate the amount of time you need to invest in making it not sound like complete and utter mindless begging drivel - so, stay relaxed and calm and i'll update you about the outcomes some time next year once the adjudicators eyes have stopped bleeding :)
i managed somehow to have one of my silk/tissue/embroidery portraits picked for the royal scottish academy open exhibition - woo!
it's free and still on till 17th december if you fancy a gander....otherwise, see right for a pic of me with my pic! it's hung in a great position - pretty much straight ahead as soon as you enter the first gallery of the show - how fancy am i?!!!!
i also did a huge amount of prep and spent a very large amount of money for a set of workshops i was due to take this week in glenrothes - unfortunately due to the adverse weather conditions, none of the workshops happened and all events were finally cancelled yesterday late afternoon - what a shame! it looked set to be a great week for the children from fife - hopefully it will be re-scheduled for early next year instead.
it's that time of year, isn't it, where everything seems to be being put off till NEXT YEAR!
not so with the winter craft and music event with butcher boy next saturday 11th december at the mitchell library's jeffery room!!! yes, i will be "MAN"ing the team girl comic stall at some point throughout the day where you will be able to purchase comics, booklets, clothes, cards and delicious cupcakes - ooooo, YUM! for info see this event
right, i'm off to continue drawing my piece for the glasgow project room, for the glasgow independent studio member's show - opening on saturday 18th december, phew! no putting anything off till next year for me....not yet ;)
