no rules and no pressure...

This is the beginning of my third series of work for my exhibition... I am actually ahead of schedule.  I have planned to do one series of work (about 7-9 pieces) per month.  I have just finished May's this afternoon.  I kind of figure if I get one series finished a month I will have enough work by October to fill the gallery without too much stress.

I got some paper the other day from BasicGrey's new range, Cappella and it is so lovely, soft and pretty.  I have been thinking for a while to try some collaged backgrounds which I might do with this next series.  Although I really do like the plain simplistic backgrounds,  I actually think that is just what I am used to doing and I would like to push myself a little...so starting Monday I am going to spend the next week playing with backgrounds, no rules and no pressure... just playing.

I rang our local bookstore to see if they had the above book in stock and she said it hasn't been published yet! I said 'but I know a few friends who already have it in their hot little hands', she said 'Oh really, let me see what I can do'... well her advise was to order it from Amazon.  Sooo I have just ordered it (my first Amazon order)!!!... and I can hardly wait for it to arrive!  Thanks to Michele at Pipi La La for letting me know it existed.

I have also listed a few card sets to my etsy shop!!! if anyone is interested, but only if you don't live in New Zealand.  Kiwis have to buy from  a local stockist, email me if you are interested.
