Spring Fling 2010
There are 3 things that without fail I will cry out as it gets closer and closer to Spring Fling, the Artist's Open Studio Event in SW Scotland this weekend:
"I'm not going to have enough work finished in time!"
"What if nobody comes?"
"What if people think my work is rubbish/a joke/not worth looking at?"
This will be my 3rd year and so far, in reality, it's been a grand experience. And so far, none of the above has arisen (at least no one has been harshly critical to my face).
Most of my work is made in isolation, so it's always good to meet people who are interested in seeing what I do, and gauging reactions.
If you're in the area this weekend, do take the time to pop in and introduce yourself.

And for some reason, the piece you shared made me feel so peaceful...as if I was slipping into a blue ocean from the curve of the world.
Best wishes on your show!

I love your "curve" and every time I look at the photo I discover another detail to admire.
Anyhow, just thought I'd say hello.

The weekend went really well, but it's taken pretty much the whole of june to start getting back to normal :)
I am just venturing into the world of "creating something and showing it" and can completely relate to your feelings here.
