No.1 blog………..Blimey!
Maybe we ought to actually write on it…………………!!!!
I was talking about the blog to an artist friend of mine who is also a journalist telling her we were still blogging ‘behind’ it.
She said go for it. Stop all e-mails behind it – only communicate online.
She thought it was fascinating how hard we were finding it to ‘go public’
Hmm………………….
The spontaneity of the e-mails that I know are private become stilted on here. The very act of writing on the blog platform is a different mindset which I automatically go into.I haven’t found a way to write while ignoring the knowledge that I am addressing everyone – not just Elena and Julie.
The trick is obviously to find a way to put blinkers on.
So – I wrote an e-mail starting ‘Hi both’ as I would normally do …and that seemed to help.
Hi both
Have just spent a huge amount of time , energy and an inordinate amount of money on framing up work. Unbelievable madness on my part really. Its been so long since I have had works on paper and I have changed as an artist since then. Now I have to have everything done properly. Ikea frames not an option!
This weekend has been spent wedding dress hunting with my daughter. Our noses down and tails up truffling in amongst antique lace and 30’s satin nightdresses.
I kept seeing things I wanted to buy you Elena – why is everything so expensive? One shop had tiny little Victorian bonnets. In need of earmuffs…………..
You may have seen my orange tubes full of wasps on my blog? Somehow as I slip out of working for this show I seem to be measuring things.
Maybe the PTB will be prove to be some form of measurement?
Measurement of friendship? There’s an interesting concept.
