Growing

The little trees are growing in numbers here. I think I'm going to miss these colourful little pieces when they aren't here, brightening up this old house on cold wintery nights.

They're off to the Jazz up your Nest exhibition at Fledge Design Studio very soon (more info if you click on the picture to the right).
I had a bit of a shuffle around, and the trees and fairy lights work I shared below will now also be in the same show, along with these works I blogged about a few months ago, and the map paper cranes I showed in previous posts (you can see more pictures of them in my flickr photostream). And another larger tree painting, all going well!
Tetris Psychedelia is still in progress, and still doing my head in. I'm afraid I might be taking it a bit too seriously as I begin the work of crocheting all those little squares together. I've found myself pulling out rows because of illogical tetris moves. Oh dear. And I'm way behind on sharing photos of the 1000 paper cranes, but I'm still plodding along with them! With all this painting and tree jumper crocheting, I have just over 400 finished halfway through the year. Will need to start taking those little pieces of paper with me everywhere I go, I think!

I finished another new painting this week. This piece, along with one of my stitched paper collage pieces, Neighbourhood is off to the Emu Swamp Artists Group exhibition, Mystical Light, at Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery from July 15 - August 22.
