Lack of any post for the last few months is due to frantic working to get things ready for the exhibition!
I have promised myself in future I will future that I will sleeve/mount/frame and label all piece of work as I go to avoid weeks of boring stuff leading up to an exhibition.
We decided a while ago to go under the name of "Thread and Shutter" as we are two textiles artists and a photographer. We have a logo which incorporates the LX symbol Jo and I were always keen on as this exhibition is part of our 60th birthday celebrations.
We are all very pleased with the look of the displays and all the planning that went into the arrangements definitely paid off as it was all up in just under four hours without too much heart ache. Comments so far have been very good and positive with some people making a return visit. We have a 'private view' on Monday for invited family and friends which was a very enjoyable evening, topped off for me by news that I have sold a hanging and some smaller items. To say I was gob-smacked would be an understatement!
