'Tumble Turn' - Work in progress. Photo by Anne Thomas - (thanks Anne)
One of the many good things to come with this week of Open Studio's is getting on famously with my niece Anne. We are equals in this place and she is certainly putting in her share of effort to making the event go smoothly for us. Her patience with visitors who have a go at Lino Cutting is unending and the printed results are testament to that care. I miss the artists and makers who have shared the event here in previous years - there is nowhere to hide with just the two of us, it is both sets of hands to the pumps. I miss Magnhild and her waffles. The competitive baking has taken a dive since I never did make cakes. So Anne would win.
There was a lovely half hour this afternoon, of sunshine and sitting on the wall talking with Louise who is chipping away at her Limestone sculpture: we appreciated the lull and then enjoyed the next visitors. I do not think I have felt so tired for ever.
Still - managed to get to the first session of creative writing with Roddy Phillips tonight and although my brain felt like the insides of a rusted watch. Contrast is always good. Trying to write something .. anything... after painting all day: Tough.
