Bella Rosa- chalk pastel |
I am using a new crowd funding platform to help pay for my exhibition costs- check it out and see what fab rewards there are if you help me mount my work and show it on Monday- the best reward is Coffee with Fi- where I buy you coffee, gossip with you and draw you in French chalk pastel right there in the cafe!

I lied...I said this next post would be about the character
development of the wee bug in ‘Far Far From Home’ the new book by Elizabeth Pulford and myself. But actually I have a couple of things coming up this
weekend that I need to post here instead. The wee bug can wait; the book is due
out in October and I’ll give it some more space here in a week or two.
I’m showing my skills and showing my art and I don’t mind if you look!
Firstly on Sunday 3rd June I am running a
masterclass at Handmade in Wellington. For those of you who have never been to Handmade, it’s a fabulous celebration of creative arts and crafts and full of
classes for everyone who wants to get back to making stuff. Just up my alley!
I’m demonstrating clever gift ideas using reused and
upcycled materials as well as some unique ways to accessorise your gift
wrapping with items from around the home or garden. The class is getting
pretty full, so if you want to join me, book your place now.
The next thing is an exhibition:
Bountiful Burlesque!
Feathered fancies and titillating tulle; colourful art of
the Wellington burlesque scene.
I’m a long time participant in Dr Sketchy Anti Art School
drawing sessions. This is a collection of my portraits and drawings from life
in the performance spotlight. The exhibition will be complemented by a
selection of exquisite nipple pasties by the wonderfully talented stage and
film costumer Cathy Tree Harris. Shake your tassels and enjoy the show!
