Cloth of Time Before the Opening

Judy's Ned and the gallery's Nick had oh, so much fun

climbing up ladders and stretching up to ceilings!

Handy Hubby made an easy job of hanging my work

and then drove the 2 1/2 hours back to the Rusty Pups.

Me, I stayed in Halifax to spend time with

Judy

Diane

Valerie

Margi

All such dear friends.

I know there is not much to see in this picture

I just like the drama of it!

It took 12 strong bags to bring the rocks here.

I have to say Handy Hubby did not approve!

He thought I was crazy!

but me....I think it was worth it.

I did enjoy having the opportunity again to really

look at Daily Scratchings

Once the show was hung Judy and I

had the opportunity to spend some time alone

in the gallery.

A special time for us to celebrate and enjoy

bringing our journals together.

Criss Cross had to be arranged differently this time.

Not To Know But To Go On

Hangs in wonderful loops

through the centre of the Mary E Black gallery

I did enjoy looking through those loops....

.....and seeing the rest of our beautiful show!

Congratulations Judy!

When One Thing Leads To Another

Daily Scratchings 2012-2015

Community Conversations 2017


It was a while back now that I heard from an old friend

Fay Wilkinson.

Fay is a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator

and

a marvellous storyteller and artist.

She wanted me to know that my 'Daily Scratchings' had inspired a community project hosted by Visible Voices Open Arts Studio in Halliburton, Ontario

and

called Community Conversations.

Participants learnt various techniques

even weaving.

With their new skills at hand everyone was invited to create a small piece of fibre art based the following conversation openers:

My 5 word life story ....

My grandmother used to say ....

When I was 7 I wanted to ....

My best friends would describe me as ....

The three most challenging parts of growing older are ....

The one thing I've learned is ....

What is important to me now is ....

The finished pieces were assembled into long panels

that now hang in a beautiful wooden display unit.

How amazing is that!
