WE did have fun dressed up in mediaeval garb for the opening night of NEOS at Hallgreen Castle. You can always spot the artists in the Great Hall when you come up to view our work – we will be here until Sunday 17th!

There is also a huge amount of delightful work by other artists and more demonstrations.

Last night somebody handed me an strange object (as they do on Hogmanay) and said “What could you make from this? Take it away and see what you can do with it.”
So my Fun A day project is going to be – working out what I can do with the shed skin from a six foot boa constrictor.
First take photographs of it in all it’s complex beauty. Here are four of them.

OK – After what seems like forever, I am still learning how to blog. Yesterday I learned that galleries don’t seem to work very well. The pictures looked small and uninteresting and didn’t display at all in facebook. Just a big blank space – which did have a link to the gallery page, but it took ages to load. Now I understand why people post one photograph at time. So, please be patient with me as I learn.
