To the market!!

I must admit this great shame....I am a bit of a market virgin. It's true... I've fantisized and even dabbled and experimented a little... but I've never really had my own arty market stall, with my wares up for touching and for taking ;-)

After pretty much a whole year of saying, "We must do it!" with another arty friend of mine, we finally took that first step (well... she did, anyway) and booked a stall. A tiny little simple stall to be hosted at the Glebe Markets on Saturday the 25th of September.

We're both scrambling around realizing we don't have essentials like sand-bags to keep the tent from flying away.... or even a tent for that matter.
With such serious things to still consider and source...I spent the day doing something so much more fun... working on packaging!!!!

The First Signs of Spring - Snow dome

Even though it's Autumn going into Winter where I am, I know the rest of the world is beginning to bud and Spring is on the way.....

Today, I made a snow dome.

You cannot know how happy this has made me. I have already been asked to submit an example for the late-may group exhibition, and I haven't finished the image.... but..... I made a snow dome.

The drawings inside are done in delicate watercolour and pen. The model is actually my gorgeous little red-headed muse... but today I gave her a bit of a "White Snow Queen" makeover....

In fact, I love my snow dome so much, I am thinking of making some more, to sell through my etsy boutique....  but maybe I should behave and finish that drawing for the group show first... I have procrastinated long enough.....
