Finally (I can hear you all sigh), I'm updating on the
WASPS open studio which happened a couple of weeks ago now. I have a good excuse in the fact that I took a little break away straight after the event and since coming back have been a busy bee producing Christmas stock! So here is some images from the event, the first two aren't my own doing (as you can probably tell from the quality and that I appear in one of them!), a lovely lady called Christine popped along with her very glam camera and I asked if she could pass the photos onto me, which she kindly did. All these very talented people. The one below is the lead into my little space, I had screens, squeegees and portfolios on show so people could see how my textiles are made.
The weekend was very much a success; I chatted, I ate (far too much yummy home-baked goods), I listened to brilliant music and I even sold some work...which I guess is the whole goal of the show! Thanks to everyone who turned out and took part in the fun and frolics. There was live music throughout the weekend and this year
Selkirk WASPS was supporting
Children 1st with their charity wall.
And, check out the cool cards that were produced on the craft table by the kids, teenagers and adults of the Borders...the man with moustache makes me smile everytime I see him...amazing!
GraceInk HQ has been looking somewhat like I would imagine Father Christmas's grotto would look like if he was into screen-printing as much as me. The elf (that'll be me then) has been busy printing and bejewelling Christmas cards all week for shops and my next upcoming fair, the Art Market in Holmfirth. And today the envelopes arrived in silvers and golds to finish off the cards a treat...looking forward to selling a few when the festive season starts! In true GraceInk style the images are a festive take on birdcages and russian dolls and have been waiting all year to take a bow...
