The World of Woodroffe, a feast for the eye....

I thought you'd like to see a few pictures of the new exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery

Until I visited the gallery last week I had never heard of Patrick Woodroffe.. It's not the type of work that I'd like on my lounge wall particularly but if someone were to give me one  I'd bite their hand off.
But his work seemed very familiar in a strange kind of way.. 
Very quirky, thought provoking and insightful and most of all inspirational..
Patrick Woodroffe this is a great link.. Enjoy..
This is his actual desk taken from his studio, meticulously tidy.. Unlike my own. ha, ha....
Next to his desk was this amazing creature.....

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..
