Carving A Horse Skull

I’m carving a block of grey vinyl this evening as I’ve decided to make a New Year’s greeting card, based on the Mari Lwyd, a pagan Welsh ritual based on a horse skull. It’s quite small so I should be able to get it cut and printed quickly. Working on this scale is nice, IContinue reading “Carving A Horse Skull”

A Head In The Gallery

Another face scribbled in the gallery the other evening…… always good practice to draw when I’m in an audience ….. using a ballpoint pen into a small notebook …..  

A Head In The Audience

Husb and I went to our local art gallery, the Glynn Vivian, last week to listen to the artist Simon Periton, currently exhibiting at Galerie Simpson, speak about his art practice. Of course, I had to have a scribble……  

Ghoulies, Ghosties And Bellies

Husb and I checked out a few events at Swansea Fringe last weekend and went to the Waterfront Museum for some readings by two authors who write about ghostly matters, Owen Thomas and Mark Rees.

Saying Grace

A couple more quick sketches done at the theatre last night, the Miner’s Theatre in Ammanford where the artist Fern Smith hosted a fascinating event, “Saying Grace“. I took the opportunity to have a quick scribble……      

A Face At The Theatre

Went to an event at the theatre this evening and did a bit of scribbling of faces in the audience, but I’m late getting back and I’m really tired, so good night 🙂    

Notes And Scribbles

I went to the international conference organised by the Women’s Archive Wales at Swansea University on Sunday, fascinating stuff. I made lots of notes and some sketches too.   I like to draw as well as write because it encourages me to look at my notes again, I’d be less inclined to if they wereContinue reading “Notes And Scribbles”

It’s What I Do

  So as the extraordinary art festival ‘Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr’ ended last weekend, we had a few days to draw breath before the Swansea Fringe started on Thursday with an evening of cracking poetry at Unit Niniteen from Holly McNish, Claire E. Potter and Tongwynlais’ own Unity.   So of courseContinue reading “It’s What I Do”

The Finale: Sand And Monks

There was a final chapter to the extraordinary art experience ‘Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr’ last weekend. After three years of planning, around eighteen months of developing, and the best part of a year of delivering different aspects of the festival – the film of me and my model; the Graft garden; theContinue reading “The Finale: Sand And Monks”
