I felt strong and powerful in the swimming pool today. Light levels are improving as we head towards spring and I am feeling positive because of it.
I have been thinking about how to use the hemp fabric print samples. I definitely want to make the legs print into a bag. Just a bit bigger than A3. Simple rectangular shape. Zipped top. Sturdy. I think it would make a stunning art bag.
I have found the Missenden Abbey summer school prospectus, and like the look of a couple of courses on it. One is 5 days of life drawing, and the other a 2 day mixed media sketchbook class. I went to see my sister-in-law, Shirley, to discuss our holiday together. Shirley cares for her Mum who has dementia. When Shirley puts her Mum in a fortnight's respite care, we go away and do interesting things. So the plan is for us to go to Durham for a short break, then go to stay with Aunt Joan for a week while we do a week's summer school at Missenden. Shirley wanted to do the life class, so I have come home to get our names down for it! I am really keen to do this class, because I know I just need to get on and draw a lot. And when we are at Missenden, we get to spend 5 solid days drawing. How good is that!
And I might make up the legs print into an art bag for Shirley. Then she can have a new bag to take to art class, and it might make her feel like a proper art student!!
