We broke up from college yesterday for 2 weeks. I have tidied out my 'studio' in the garage today; it is staggering the amount of stuff you accumulate that just takes up valuable space. The sun was shining so it wasn't too bad and it looks a lot better now. It is strange seeing all my watercolour paints, oils and acrylics that I used to use now unused on a shelf. From watercolour Sunday painter to a woman whose nails ( once highly manicured ) now resemble hands of a male plasterer. I worry due to the fact of an important wedding at the end of May in Scotland to go to; a couple whose guests all knew me prior to my 'sculpture' metamorphosis. A well groomed Ann whose nail varnish was just so on both feet and hands and hair always 'done'. At this time I would have been planning my outfit meticulously but no not now; all I have on my mind is the Hepworth Gallery opening in Wakefield and the new exhibits at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Hey ho!!
I decided to have a bit of a rest today after a bad nights sleep and chill a little bit. It will seem strange on Monday morning not going to college, we are all going to meet up for lunch one day so that will be nice. It really is lovely having such a good rapport with each other, if we didn't get on then being a small group would have been difficult.
I intend to finish off my plaster plinths by sanding with wet n dry sand paper until I get a really smooth finish, at the moment they're drying out on my spare bed. Plaster is great to work with, I love the sharp clean lines.
I suppose it means no visitors can sleepover "sorry you can't stay, sculpture plinths drying"! It was a bit worrying taking them up the stairs last night to be honest, after they had survived the journey home as well.
