Well, Woolly the sheep has been safely delivered to Skipton and on Friday night I'm off to the preview evening at Skipton Mart where apparently there is also going to be jewellery and crafts. That's my commission wage spent then!
Now that Woolly is gone I've been working on some designs for a commission in Leeds that is centred around a new sign posting system. I used to work in tourism so this is something that is quite close to my heart which is one of the reasons I've decided to give it a go. No idea whether I will get anywhere but I'm having a fantastic time researching Leeds' wonderful architecture and places to visit and I'm finding that applying for commissions is helping me to focus on creative ideas and my artistic work when I can otherwise become quite easily distracted by the washing up. (That's a lie, what I'm really distracted by is books, twiddly things). I am a legend in our household for my ability to faff around so much that I'm invariably up half the night without having anything to show for it.
This week something very exciting happened, my new Mercury Arts logo arrive! For me this was like Christmas in a jpg, fantastic - I now feel like a real creative entity. This has been designed by the lovely people at Source Creative in Blackburn and has been developed around my ceramics work(I've posted a picture so you can see the link). I'll chunner more about this but for tonight I'm all excited out. Sweet dreams!
P.S one of my best friends did a charity run tonight after recently having a baby, in the wind and rain (what commitment) if she's still upright I take my hat off to her - what a girl!
