Another week and month has gone by and we are now half way through 2013. Before we know it Christmas will be here!
We were really dissapointed not to be taking part in Alnmouth Arts Festival this weekend. Due to the large number of requests for artists to exhibit this year, the organisers had to make a hard decission on who to choose. However, there is always next year, fingers crossed we get picked next year.
Our next trip out will be for Glendale Festival on 21st July. Again, we’ll be in The Cheviot Centre in Padgepool Place, top end of the main street. As of yet we don’t know our stall location but we’ve requested downstairs on the right handside where we’ve been in the past.
As I type, Graham is busy beavering away in the garage and on the drive creating his wood spirits creations. We saw some excellent sales at the fairs we attended in May and whilst the weather is nice, Graham is shaping and sanding wood ready for the pyrography. Graham is also working on some new designs, so watch this space for some well know scenes of Northumberland in his Wood Spirits collection.
I’ve been beavering away with my jump rings, studs and spikes to make some interesting chainmaille pieces. Inspiration hasn’t been as forthcoming with the studs, but I’ve have made a few pieces using the spikes. Photo’s will be posted on Facebook once I’ve finished.
During July we’ll have a couple of website offers. All seed beads (excluding Delica’s) will be reduced to 75p per 25g bag and for all purchases of £10 or more on loose beads and findings, we’ll include a FREE pack of findings worth £5! These are fantastic offers for the run up to the summer holidays where you may need a few extra supplies to help keep the young crafters in your family occupied.
Well all for now. Time to finish watching this very eventful British Grand Prix!
