Finally things are moving with the church workshops and installation. I received two emails from them this week….well, when I say I received the emails, I was actually only copied into them.
Sent to several people, they were informing all that they had commissioned an artist (me!) to do said installation and lead the workshops. It’s a start I suppose.
A note at the end of one of the emails informed me that someone is going to contact me with some possible dates to come in and work with the adults and children in the group. The groups meet on a Wednesday and Thursday morning term time, which is a bit of a pain as I was hoping I could drop in when I was available. This might mean me swapping a few days in work, if I can .
Even though the US exhibition is a long way off, I need to save at least 3 days leave from this year to carry over. It will mean I can’t just take a day off here and there when something comes up, so I will have to be careful.
I wish I could say I was hugely organised trying to balance all of this, but in reality, I spent an entire day on Sunday, picking up scraps of paper I’d written notes and made scribbles on, paper that I’d saved because I liked it, templates for several paper objects I have in the pipeline….etc etc….and put them all together in one big file so that I could actually find things. Please make me keep using this file!!
I’d also found myself in a really ‘couldn’t be bothered’ mood but continued making paper shoes anyway, as I have a deadline.( Exhibition in June) Because my concentration wasn’t there, I ended up with at least 4 ‘left’ shoes and had to search high and low for matching paper to make the correct ‘right’ ones so that I have matching pairs : (
I need a day off……a day off doing nothing!!!!
