OOhh this has to be a quickie tonight as I should have been in bed about 2 and a half hours ago - I have been watching Man in the Moon with Jim Carrey (such a great film!) and now I have to go to bed where my love is sleeping and I feel a little sad but shouldn't really wake him for a hug.............no I really better not.
Tomorrow I have to get my act together to put in an application for an exhibition on Burlesque. I have had email contact with the artist and photographer who is curating the exhibiton and it seems they are really interested in me being part of it, now I just have to figure out some ideas! It is really exciting (if more than a little nervewracking) as it will really be the first gallery exhibition I will (hopefully) take part in. It shows in March and I would really like to' display a corset and a corset based costume - possibly with a headress/mask of some sort. Also some framed artwork/illustrations - gosh!! There is already a corset designer taking part so I need to make sure my work is very different so I will definitely go for a more 'costume' based design rather than commercial I think, making use of the handpainting and textile work that I love doing. I am so nervous! But it will be a real challenge and I am anxious to get my teeth into a project such as this as it feels like a great opportunity to get my work seen. It will really motivate me to concentrate on my artwork too and come up with some good ideas.
Ok off to sleep now. The above knitted neck warmer has just been listed in my etsy shop today - I hope I am getting a fraction closer to making the kind of work that I can call 'my own' in my shop. Crocheted corsages were fine to start but I want to make it so much more about my original work - a long way to go yet but I shall get there, I am sure of it.
Lots to do tomorrow - but I am really hoping I can get some ACEO's and mixed media done - I feel that is a good sign - maybe I really am getting the 'bug' back!
