Open Studios at Cardinal Arts

here are some (rather bad) photos of my Open Studios

we opened over the Bank holiday weekend

and the turnout was.......

terrible

am hoping this weekend will bring more people in

(should mention that the inspiration for these bird charms

came from the amazing, amazing, amazing artist Geninne)

the people that do come in

are full of compliments

about the work and the set-up

my studio is at one end of the town

so it seems to be difficult to get people down here

altho, there are others near here -

and we are listed in the catalogue

and right next to the Buttercup Café!

we'll see what happens

am still optimistic!

lovely felted bags by Get Felt

and the diaphanous knitted shrugs or capelettes

by Tuscan Handknits

(despite the name, she is a local maker)

I have sold the "capelette" hanging above the bags

LOVE to bags! they are knitted and then felted

fantastic colours and shapes

have sold a couple of those too

the funny thing is that I just happen to be in

my studio during the week

all the publicity states the studio is open

on the weekends

but have had more sales during the week

from people just randomly wandering in!

go figure

it is a sunny day today

which is nice

even tho there is definitely a nip in the air

fall is coming soon!

and so is my mother!

she arrives next week - just in time to see the end of my show

then mother, me and S are going on holiday

we rented a gîte in France for 10 days

cannot wait

so looking forward to relaxing......

have a stack of books waiting

but before then

wish me luck!

have a wonderful weekend!

and a big hello to a couple new followers

thank you for wanting to be included in my ramblings!
