Look what Jude gave me

My friend Jude has an eye for the creative arts.

She has an office worker mate who plays in his shed with different ideas

She commissioned a camel for me.

It's a beauty!

Thanks Jude.

I have popped it in the garden near my Yr 11 self portrait

The hanky was a hot day addition just a year or so ago.

I am surprised that the hanky has not disintegrated given the hot sun treatment

My teacher was a perfectionist and insisted we all did a good job

We spent a whole term on the 3D portrait.

He was a hard task master and for that I am grateful

I wonder what he would think about the hanky.

It made me smile.

Sweat box sculpture

Last week I was involved in an unusual exhibition

Unique to this area I believe

Sweat box art has to be constructed from the old wooden

boxes that were used to carry dried fruit to the packing sheds

I was most excited to sell my piece to an artist whom I admire

(which made it more exciting)

I hadn't photographed it before delivery to the gallery and

I forgot to take my camera to the exhibition opening.

I did remember to take the camera when I went to collect it

after the show but it had sold and was gone.

I had to take this picture in the back yard of the new owner.

I did need a memento of the piece.
