East Exhibition

By June Carroll

By Carol Dixon

Went to Braintree today ,with Margaret to go to the O2 and E.a.s.t exhibitions. Both very interesting. More pieces appealed in the East exhibition.
A couple of beautiful,what I am going to call,memory dresses by Libby Smith incorporating text embroidered on net and newspaper snippets.
Some really interesting work, as usual, by Jeanette Bright on foundlings and Mercy. One piece by Julie Topsfield that I really liked.
Some terrific textured pieces by Carol Dixon and some clever work on maps and journies by June Carroll.Annoyed with myself that I didn't take notes or enough pictures. Did give Margaret and myself time for a good chat and some ideas have been sparked off I think.
Nice lunch in the cafe attached to the museum. Weather was great ! All in all a good day.

Happy Valentines Day

Yes it's that day again
Hubby didn't really appreciated the pill organiser that I bought him but I think it showed that I care.I did also buy him a Cd of the radios shows of Count Arthur Strong who is not to my taste at all so that shows I love him.

I have also got round to finishing my dolls.There is a Geisha ,Pierrott and Pierette.Great tutor down at Southend ,Julie Topsfield.Have also finished the sketchbook course under the equally great tutoring of Tricia North aka reform No finished product from that yet but lots of ideas and new directions to work on.


Have been thinking a lot of an old school friend who lost her husband last week.Very sad.



On the creative front I have made a few more badges.
