As I mentioned in my last post the weekend just past was the
Crossing Borders Art Trail, it's an opportunity for Visual Artists and Designer-Makers to open their doors across the Scottish Borders and let the general public see where they work and what they make and hopefully sell a few goodies along the way! (I'll be taking part in the
WASPS Open Studios in October and that is why I took part at someone elses studio)
Just thought you might like to see a few pics from the event, top one is of
Julia and I outside her house with our sheep. Everyone that takes part gets a sheep to decorate to entice people through the door,
Julia's sheep was all fluffy and due to are 'brilliant' climate had to be kept inside (you can see
Woolamina in the window) and mine was a little more hardy ( sadly we never named mine...
opps!)
We took over
Julia's dining room for the event (I wasn't allowed to be left in the house by
myself as I seriously would have done tours of the house while she was away...it's so beautiful...she has a very keen eye). Julia
up-cycles locally sourced tweeds & fabrics and you should know by now that I'm a screen-printing
extraordinaire, check out the pics above and below to see our pop up shop, Julia did a great job of getting the place set up and making it really accessible for everyone, we are now thinking of turning it into a shop for real...only joking!
Thanks to everyone that came out to support us, it was a great weekend with about 150 people through the doors over the three days with many sales, cups of tea and chocolates eaten. Stayed tuned for more exciting joint ventures in the future.
