Jackie Morris - Art in Action - A grand day out.

And the sun shone.... 

We had an exciting and exhausting day at Art in Action

 I got to meet Jackie Morris...

Not the best of photo's - Whose arm that is that?

Not only amazingly talented, she was also lovely, and so generous with her time, she even let me borrow her new manuscript  'East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon'  to read whilst we had lunch..  What other author would do that?  I felt so honoured.. Such kindness, and what a book it is going to be... Within the first couple of pages she had lifted me into the story... I still have pictures going around in my head.. Wonderful..

 

We saw Robert Race's automata's

 Thought you might like to see some of it too.. Just love the wording on his sign.

  I want one of these benches for my garden.. Sadly I don't remember who made it..

 

This angel is the work of Janis Ridley

 It is about 2" tall, so beautiful..

 And here is another piece of her work.. Janis was so down to earth, I warmed to her immediately, I so hope that I bump into her another day..

How I would have loved one of these.. Dreaming again Julie.. One day.. Maybe.

I could have posted so many photo's, but these are my favourites.. What a great day it was, I would definitely go again..

One of the best things that happened,  so many people asked me about who made the brooch that I happened to be wearing. Me, I said with a smile as I gave them one of my cards... 

You never know I might get a follower or two and maybe even a sale.. 

....My confidence is growing..

Next job --- Up date my etsy and bigcartel sites..
