Now what do I do?

I still don't know how this blogger thing works, or how to set my photos right, maybe one of my first post degree things is to learn?

Anyway, the night was a huuuge success, we had over 2000 people come through our doors, when we were only expecting (and catered for) 300, so I got my free glass of wine and two bruchettas and it was lovely to finally relax, though there were some rauchous kids running about the place treating my books like a playground and I had to tell them that they were not toys, and that they would actually fall down if they were swung on, but a part of me wanted to make a book themed playground that could be swung on, only my fishing wire wasn't strong enough, perhaps I have finally found a possible commercial niche.

I received my results the other day, a very satisfying, slightly ecstatic 2:1, well done me, I like to call myself nearly brilliant now.

I've also been in limbo all week, waiting to dismantle the show has meant that I can't go and get my obligatory summer temping underway, and my recent breakup with my boyfriend has made the end of my degree the end of an era.

However the future is bright isn't it? I am particularly excited about getting down to some serious bookbinding, poetry writing and general creativity rushes, and I am preparing to give my first gallery workshop in a few months time, which is scary and really brilliant all at the same time. I think this will turn out to be a smashing year.

Degree Show

Oh well it's been ages since I was on here. I'm going to try and be a better blogger, but then I have had an excuse. So i've pretty much finished my degree now, just waiting on the marks and the small fortune I will be spending on my graduation gown and photos, which I have decided I do need to go to, to get closure from my studying days, and that I actually like the people who I am on the course with and a final knees up would be lovely.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet got my photos back from the degree show night but here are a few I've took since my last post.

I have nearly reached

100 folded books. It's going well I think. I just have to decide what to do with them now. Something big and structural. I also have plans for a new folded thing, which I will start today and maybe post tomorrow.

Then we sat around

and drank a lot...

Here is where we spent the festivities. We were treated to champagne and canopies followed by a three couse meal which included a seafood platter, thai green curry or venison and a cheese board and wine, all privately catered.

Birthday Party

I've just got back from a lovely weekend in Norfolk, where I celebrated my friend Judiths 60th Birthday at her converted Barn. We got to stay in a lovely flat which was once a garage, which Tony her next door neighbour offered.
