Pop-Up Store Opening Night

Last night, I went out to the opening of the Pop-Up Store at the Logan Art Gallery. 

It was a huge night, as it not only opening that exhibition, but also three others in the art gallery. My work of beanies is on display in the first gallery, and I'm so proud to be able to show my work in there at this time of year - because people can buy my work and enjoy them; and hopefully buy more off me too. 

Other work there included an exhibition of the winner of the Artwaves Exhibitions - whose works include watercolours of dragons; and mixed media as well. And there's an Indigenous display of gorgeous works. And then there's one about Seria as well; all in photographs.

The Pop-Up Store is at its very best this year with everyone adding more and more into it as the years go by. 

I do encourage you to go to the Logan Art Gallery to have a look at everything there. We change our exhibits every six weeks; and every time, there's always something great to look at and experience.

A Busy Time

It's been busy over the past few weeks, and I'm glad it's been like this. But, it's also been a weird time too. Over the past few days, I've been losing my voice - so I'm off to the doctors tomorrow; and I know I'm going to be sticking around the house for the rest of the week.

But I've been knitting and doing arty things while I've had my art in those three galleries across Brisbane. So far, one of the exhibitions finished - and nobody who put their work in sold their work. So, my piece came home and his currently on my bedroom wall; awaiting next year to be shown again. 

Then, in the next week or two, there'll be my 'Crazy Beanies' being sold at the Logan Art Gallery's Pop-Up Store. And on 9th, November, I'll be there doing a demonstration day in their workshop - which is always fun. I take along my knitting, yarn, and other gear and set up a table and demonstrate what I do, and how I do it, and make some sales there too.

My other piece is still in at the Judith Wright Centre in the city. I'm not sure if somebody has bought it or not. But people are liking '18 Butterflies'. 

I'm still knitting and painting right now. However, with my throat, it's a very quiet time for me. How's your craft and work going?
