Yesterday I ventured to Brixton whereupon I discovered the Crafty Fox Market. BTW I'm not currently doing any markets, I'm working on building up my range, sorting out my website and selling outlets. Christmas burnt me out and it's no longer wool season, but I'm still making and selling, just not at the constant pre-Christmas rate.
I'm starting to love going to these events and seeing faces I've met from previous craft fairs (and the Knitting and Stitching show). Zeena Shah of HeartZeena is doing tonnes of workshops people can get involved with. James Ward of Jimbobart (click the plate) has started selling prints (wicked wicked), so I'm now the proud owner of this crafty fox. Beautiful! Forgotten Stitches, who also won a place at the Knitting and Stitching show last year, has extended her range with bigger deers and more brooches. Other things:
I've been looking at past notebooks and sketchbooks, partly to throw stuff out, and to see if there were any ideas I'd missed. I found what is best described as an externalised inner dialogue from before I came up with the biscuits. You can click on it if you want to read it.
The Miro exhibition at the Tate is dense and rather wonderful. In particular I was fond of the "moustache picture" (can't remember the real name :-/ ) in the second room with the gridlines showing. I found his roughshod-vs-meticulously neat approach both bloody minded and brilliant.
If you haven't, check out www.petehindle.com , he's a creative type with some interesting insights. And a completely different blog www.katielovesthis.com/ lists weird and wonderful designs from the good people of internet.
I also made a quite lovely cardigan, photos when I find the charger.
