How do I manage to get myself into these situations? Not that I mind. In fact, this job has been quite cool to read what everyone does. Today I am putting up the exhibition, but yesterday I was going through everyone's biographies and putting together the artist directory. I purchased the display book online and… Continue reading Artist Directory…

Imago Mundi
I have been asked to take part in the Welsh Collection... Okay, maybe I sent an enquiring email and then another and practically bugged the organiser to let me in. But the result is that I'm in! Basically it is a collection of tiny canvases depicting Welsh culture as seen through the eyes of artists.… Continue reading Imago Mundi
When life gets in the way…
It doesn't matter what you do; write, draw or sculpt, at some point your day, week or year, life will get in the way and you will realise that despite the fact you are working all the time you actually haven't created anything. For me this year has been one about discovering where I want… Continue reading When life gets in the way…
Who said the countryside was quiet?
I hit my workshop this morning and was about to sit down when I realised I could hear the sheep. At first I thought they were the ones in the next field but they sounded awful close. I closed the lid of my laptop and tried to pry my mind from the latest book - it's getting… Continue reading Who said the countryside was quiet?
A Gift
It's not usual to get given anything for free... Not in modern times, anyway, but yesterday it happened. My Mum smokes. I wish she didn't but she does. I have managed to get her to buy her tobacco from a specialised store. She tried it and loved the flavour. Basically, is is tobacco without any… Continue reading A Gift
Framed!
It has been a lovely day and most of the morning I spent in the greenhouse trying to catch up with seeds. I know I'm taking a risk. Yesterday I was driving through blizzards in order to get home. Snow! In April! But today is sunny and just a good spring day. I couldn't really wait… Continue reading Framed!
That one story…
I have one story. I love it. It's a horror steeped in Norse mythology and it is creepy and a little disturbing. But it is so unlike anything else I have written that it stands alone. It can't be included in a short story collection because there are no others like it. So instead I… Continue reading That one story…
Spring Clean-out
They do say that in the spring you clean stuff. I'm not sure I have done it in the past but this morning I woke up and realised what was wrong with my workshop. You see, normally I write with my computer facing the wall. I remember when I put it in that position I… Continue reading Spring Clean-out
Easter is over
This Easter was a family and friends affair. I spent Saturday at the local Easter Fair that I had helped organise. It was fun. The only thing that put a dampener on the day was the weather. Considering the Friday had been wonderfully bright and sunny, the simple fact that Saturday was cold, wet and… Continue reading Easter is over
Sharpened Pencils
It took me an hour to sharpen all the pencils. No really... You see twice a year I help organise local fairs. Here in Tregaron that means Easter and Christmas. Of the two I can safely say that the Christmas Fair is bigger, boasting more than 25 stalls and a free Santa. But the Easter… Continue reading Sharpened Pencils
