So a few hours today after a good walk with a mate this morning. Today was organising the structure of my table(s) and display surface below the scaffold wall pictures. I used a piece of pallet as a mid table top, cleaned under all my units and restructured storage space so when I am not …
So, felt tired after yesterday’s shop prep. Went to sleep early and woke briefly to see this: Memorising and photograph the colour combinations involved, then went back to sleep, 0530 was too early. Out for a all after a late breakfast sat watching all sorts of boats in the bay. Took quite a few pictures …
Saturday, that’s a work shift day so down to the shop. Thank goodness I only live 5 minutes away as I remembered to take my hammer but forgot the timber skirting boards – so a quick walk back and fetched the timber too. The section behind the door is split between the two of us …
Today we visited my printer to leave my latest two pieces for prints and greeting cards to be created. Then photos taken while in Weymouth to get some lunch. Finally visit to diy supplier locally for skirting board to make into batten lips and prevent artworks from sliding off.
Well everyone it is the final day 31 of Marchmeetthemaker 2021. Looking back at the prompt sheet it is actually ‘Looking forwards’ but I have posted as “The future”. Before I focus on how this applies to me I have direct messaged Joanne Hawker who created this event to thank her because after the last …

Marchmeetthemaker day29 prompt. In this case the reels are video clips made in Instagram. I did two, they weren’t amazing and it took several attempts to it but they did include the reference to my reel lockdown hairstyle. So social media posts today and then off to the shop. More tidying of decorating lines and …
Three related aspects of my day that link back to my art. Being a weekend day there is no Marchmeetthemaker prompt so I used the prompt ‘diversify’ as I have gradually started to put my art into different items like the clothing for myself, the custom hats, the wooden boxes. Before Christmas I started to …
So on Monday I shall be meeting with my fellow shop co-tenant to revise and update the shop measurements for each of our areas to ensure that we have a 50:50 distribution of wall and floor space each. Alongside the decorating I have been doing in my areas this offers a reset moment as we …
On Thursday my most recent completed commission was presented to the giftee it was intended for. NL (my client) has bought a range of greetings cards from me before and last Christmas bought two decorated wooden boxes for her children. Admission – never seen a kingfisher, let alone drawn one, but yes …. This was …
