christmas times.

I have come across many blogs doing Christmas giveaways, though I shant be doing one myself this year. 1,2,3,4 Kicked My Toe on the Door has an uber cute hair clip to giveaway! I hope I have a chance with it :). Also shop Lark is also having a tasty giveaway also. I shall be more prepared with Christmas next yr and that I hope everyone has a lovely holiday.

garden market

The Market was finally on today to raise money for a very special cause. I had a successful time there also with a lot of nice comments and attention from younger people and children, selling artworks, button headbands, altered notebooks and mum's potpourri tea-bags. It was a really nice day with Italian cakes and donuts and other nice stalls. Only downside was that I got sunburnt very quickly due to being pale, this is why I always avoid the sun haha. I am so very tired and can't wait till my head hits my pillow but it was worth it.

Forth Thread Artist Advant Calendar.

I was lucky enough to be apart of this wonderful project that the lovely people at Forth Thread created. An artist advant calendar up until Christmas with a different artist each day. They were to create an artwork including the number that they were given. I was presented with the number 9. Check out Forth Thread reguarly for new things and also why not go and buy the first issue of their zine :). It will be worth it. My work; Day 9.

off to market.

Midweek updates.

It has been the end of the 2 exhibitions I was in, I was lucky to have my Aids artwork bid on and sold at the Red Ribbon Exhibition and 20% of the sold price goes to the Country Awareness Network. I look forward to contributing again to it next yr. Also a new artwork shall be made in the next 2 days for a special Christmas feature but for now I'm not saying anymore. :). Other business to do is create works for Bendigo's Art in the Streets for 2010. Hope everyone is busy getting their christmas festivities underway :).
