Pottery ponderings
Hm, I’m working towards a joint exhibition with my other classmates in pottery school. It will be my first ever exhibition and it happens in January. Items for inclusion have size restrictions as they will be displayed in a glass case at a local library. I have made some planters with interesting textures on them which also reflect my soul, I think, in that it is many-layered and faceted. I sha…
A Win at the Show!
Ooh, I feel v. good today. I’ve won First Prize for one of my photos at a local Agricultural Show. Iron Fence at Sunset was my choice for my first ever entry into one of these competitions. Thanks so much to those of you who viewed and gave comments on this work. Yay! :-))) And thanks to my partner, too, for his suppo…
First Sale!
Ooh hoo. Am so pleased that I have sold two calendars to family lately. I’ve been showing them mine when they visit. Just shows it pays to advertise! :-))
Two Calendars
I have a couple of calendars available to buy! I’m thrilled with how they have been designed by Redbubble and they look great hanging on the wall. Attractive and practical.
Scenes Through a Lens contains a range of my black and white photographs. I tried to tie the images in with the seasons.
A New Year Reflection
2007 has turned out to be such a great year, looking back, especially in terms of opportunities for expanding my creative outlets.
Finding Artellaland was totally fabulous and has had me doing some really enjoyable work with collage and digital art techniques. And discovering Artists’ Trading Cards has been immense fun, too: I really enjoy the challenge of work…
Abstract Favourites
I have quite a few delicious abstracts (or, well, images which I perceive to have an abstract quality to them) in my favourites list and so shall share a few for those who might have missed them in their travels:
Accidental Fractal by Cathleen Tarawhiti …Like a beautiful phoenix or a golden bowerbird.

Self-Critical
I am feeling quite self-critical today. Just tried to write another journal entry and could not bear it. I don’t write formally or creatively very often, so I am not used to how much effort some subjects involve. It’s probably because I have not written about them before or much. I can only assume that it will get easier the more I do it. And maybe there are just some days when I am not in the …
Fractals, for a Change
I’ve uploaded some fractal images I made some years ago. I have enjoyed getting back to this type of design work. I’m waiting on some film to come back from the developer, plus I’m having trouble seeing my current pictures properly…i.e., I’m not inspired, so going away from them for a while may help me to see them differently when I view them again.
Feels good to be learning by doing. I’m…
Spring Favourites
Well, time to share some more of my recent additions to my favourites list. Here they are, but this time all on a theme of Spring (if only to my mind!):

Women in Art
A really well done morphing sequence of Women in Art . I only just saw this one today and thought I’d share it. Really well done, IMHO. If you have a look, feel free to come back here and comment. I’d love to read about your impressions.
I haven’t had a go at this particular art form yet. I found this inspiring enough to renew my enthusiasm for gi…
