I can't hardly wait...



(with good in my head to help me on my way)

I am feeling back on track again and I have managed to get a whole lot of work done this week for my exhibition.   As well as this I also have been been getting on with a few things I'm involved with during the next few months...

The Mosaic Wine Box Auction... The invited artists are asked to produce and donate artworks for auction. They all start with a ‘blank canvas’ in the form of a standard pine 2 bottle Winebox.  They then go up for auction to raise money for a community based vocational service for people with disabilities.   Last year they raised $30,000... so I am really pleased to have been invited to be a part of this.  And the really cool thing is, as a thank you each artist gets two bottles of wine with part of their wine box design as the label!  Here are last years wine box designs...  So I will post some images of my finished wine box soon.

I also have the yearly 'plunket' show coming up at the end of May as well, another auction for a good cause down in Timaru.  I have been thinking that one day I might go on a road trip and visit all the  galleries around New Zealand that show my work, there are quite a few that I have never even visited.


I have also enrolled in Kelly Rae's e-course... which starts at the end of May, so this will be something to look forward to after all the other things on my May to do list.... I can't hardly wait!
