30 images: 1 piece of work = FINISHED

Self imposed deadlines are pretty good - even if it means its gone 10.00pm and i'm only just having my lunch!! And yes, I know that isn't healthy, but the feeling of euphoria which goes with having finished the work on time, is priceless!!

 Now i have nearly two weeks to get the limited edition artist's books, the catalogue and labels done, before the preview evening on friday 14th February. (In spite of my Coastival poster saying 14th may!!!) 

The last 6 pieces were a bit of a worry, even though i was ' talking up ' my confidence. I've been experimenting with using tile grout behind glass, and was enjoying some of the results  i was getting. But i was beginning to worry that the technique was going to be too hit and miss to have left making the images for the exhibition until so late: and what was i going to do if it all went wrong. Hence leaving a final week for eventualities. I'm not saying that I'm won't be really grateful for it, but actually the set of images Nos 12 - 17 were so fixed in my mind's eye that they came into being relatively easily.

So, lunch (at 10.30!)  then a bath, then bed. i will take a final check on the gallery in the morning, take the afternoon off, and then get stuck into the artist's books on Tuesday. X x hooray! See you in a coupke of days, with hopefully as positive an update. Good night. X
