once again i'm sorry for not posting in a while (God this is getting to be a recurring theme!)
I've been having a bit of a stressful time at the moment. I may have mentioned a while ago that i was very happy to have got a few pieces of my work into an exhibition at a (rather highly thought of) local commercial gallery. It was due to open a few weeks ago no-one got in contact with me and because i am so shy i didn't ask and I thought i had missed the private view, which made me sad. Anyway i finally emailed them about it and recieved no reply. Then about a week ago the gallery seemed to shut down, we assumed this was because the show was being put up and i was relieved. But low, a huge 'TO LET' sign has been put up. I've emailed everyone at the gallery whose address i had but haven't got any reply.
So obviously my work won't be exhibited and while that is disappointing i don't really care now because i am just so panicked about getting my paintings back! It's terrifying that no-one will reply to me and tell me when i can pick up my stuff!
I've also been trying my hand at making gloves (ho ho ho i am making a pun) and god it's awful! The pattern is so so tricky (partly because you use just a 3mm seam allowance and partly because of the insane gusset things between the fingers) and i don't even know if they'll fit when they're finished. Grump!
Anyway that's what's been going on.
A while back Cherry Culture were having a 20% off (which actually they are again at the moment! Use code B2S20 until tuesday sadly i cannot afford to get anything) and i picked up a huge amount of nail polishes :) One of which was this:
LA colors Goddess
This is a lovely muted slightly nude toned gold with tiny and large silver holographic glitter.
It's lovely and i know i'll where it on it's own at some point, but I just wasn't feeling it. I needed more bling!
So i popped on a thin layer of my gold holo glitter franken and then some silver large square glitter (Essence nail twins but i don't know the name!)
Ta daa!! Much more tacky :)
What's on your nails at the moment?
hehe interesting nail polishes.. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing is on my nails at the moment but I have bought some LA Colours which are LOVELY for their price tag.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks about your paintings, I'd be a wreck wondering when I'm getting them back, how unprofessional to not even send you a quick message.
I have never ever attempted to make gloves before, I have knitted some mittens though, they were perfect and I still wear them now.
I am wearing Nubar 2010 over Mode Racy. It's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck getting your paintings back dear, that's really sad about you not getting your exhibition :( I hope something else turns up for you.
