Brooch So Far (..not so good!!)

 

How this piece did not end up in the bin, I do not know. I spent all day on Sunday dedicated to my workshop. And something as simple as this nearly gave me a heart attack!

 

The soldering all went well and then I accidentally melted one of the metal flowers...not good. But all is okay and I have an almost complete piece. Just a few edges to clear up and rivets to hammer.

Come to The Parched Artists exhibition in order to be able to pick up varied pieces like this one, most on a smaller scale.

The Parched Artists First Ever Exhibition! Eeeeeek!

Soooooo...I've been a tad lazy on the old blogging front but only due to a certain exhibition taking up ALL of my time. However, that aside, I am sure it will be worth it!
I decided to set up this group myself as I was getting frustrated what with having been to University, learning a skill, and never using it. I realised that I was not alone in feeling this way. Many of my friends from art college, friends I have grown up with, people I have worked with and now work with have a creative background which just isn't being used. And so I thought we could spur each other on and put on a good old knees up of an event.
Organising has been a little stressful, but the meetings in pubs take off the sting a bit. I'm very apprehensive about how it will go, hopefully if it goes well, we will be putting on future events. I'll let you know.

Check out our posters made by collective member Hayley Jane.
If you are local, get down to Banbury Canal Day on Sunday
7th October 2012 to check out art from textile art to illustration,
painting to jewellery and more importantly, a free cuppa
and a slice of cake!
