Catching up and sitting down

It is over three weeks since we came back from our holidays. In the intervening time it has been catch up on the home front - unpacking and cleaning up and taming the rampant garden - as well as indulging in the arts. My first week back was spent finalising my works for, then helping to set up the Be Seated exhibition at the Butter Factory Studios and Gallery. Finally I feel I have time to sit down and type.

The Be Seated exhibition is part of the Bendigo Bank Southern Art and Craft Trail which comes to an end with the end of the school holidays. We had a marvelous opening, with entertainment by Sound Bites choir singing to a seated theme. A colourful Gertrude Well-ease, sported a stunning chairy hat and dispensed a lively commentary on the artworks, to our many visitors.
