it is my 2nd last day here and tomorrow will be busy cleaning up the studio for the exhibition and packing stuff up. It is called an exhibition because if it was an open house or an open day then all of the offices in our building would need to be open and that is not what is is happening. Only Amanda and I are showing off what we have been up to the last 4 weeks.

Today I finished the last 4 pieces for the exhibit. They look pretty good, more coral tubes. They fit into the background and add height. Tomorrow morning we hope to get a decent picture so we can move the exhibit from the bedroom back to the studio for the show. I went online this afternoon to start to register for the Salt Spring juried show.  I needed an artist statement about the work and I had 100 words to sell them on my piece, that is if the pictures don’t. I wrote some words and had Amanda help me polish them and I think they sound pretty good. This is the first time entering a show where your work needs to be approved to get in and it is nerve wracking.  There is a lot of money at stake and I imagine they will receive 1000’s of entries.  This is the link to the  website:  http://saltspringartprize.ca. I will know in July if I get choosen and I will sure let you know if I do.

  
We went back to the Textile Museum this afternoon for a look around with no one else there. What a fantastic museum it is devoted 100% to Icelandic textiles. You can touch a lot of the items there, with those oh so fashionable white gloves on. The workmanship is so wonderful, looking at some of the items you know some of them must have taken 100’s of hours. It does inspire one to want to make an Icelandic inspired something or other. 

The waves are really rolling in tonight, I don’t think I have seen them this fierce before.  It is nice and safe sitting in y bedroom watching them out the window glad I am not out on the ocean tonight.  It is hard to tell from this picture but they really are big waves. 

  
That was my day, thanks for reading.
