We had a wee holiday at Waimarama Beach this weekend... was so lovely to get away, and the weather was perfect, hot and sunny with a nice cool sea breeze. It was my friends husbands 40th birthday and they hired out this wonderful bach for the weekend. Was hard leaving Sunday afternoon especially knowing I was coming home to a messy house (we left straight after work on Friday and I turned a blind eye to the mess around me as I was getting ready).

(looking down the beach from our front lawn)On the art front, well I haven't done anything much for the last 4 - 5 days... But I have had a few calls from galleries saying they want more, so I will be getting back into it tonight (Just when I thought I was on top of everything). I also want to get some of the pendants ready by Thursday, I thought I would start with maybe 3 different designs just to see how they go. I will send them to two galleries and add a few to my etsy shop as well. I am a little nervous about doing this, I do worry about sending new things out into the world. Will people like them, or in the pendants case, will they fall apart etc...
Some of the work I sent out last month has been sold already so that is exciting, they were a little bit new, as in the materials used, so I was a tad nervous of the response. It is a relief that people seem to think they are ok. One piece got sold to decorate the walls of a shoe shop and the owner said people are more interested in the art work on the wall then they are in the shoes... funny.

Oh, it sounds like a wonderful weekend, so relaxing. I'm going to the beach for a week in a couple of weeks, and I can't wait. Looks like you have a lot of work to do to keep up with demand for your art!
kowhai was in the flower or the maori word for yellow. I grew up in Auckland and then spent two years down in Dunedin for my masters degre. The name Muntedkowhai came by 14 years ago when I was a teenager and wanted a special name for my internet account. It was much easier to get a name with a maori word in it since AOL is mostly used by Americans.
