| Unsung Muses at the Scottish Storytelling Centre - the main wall |
My exhibition is up
and on show at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh. R took the day off work to come and help me
hang it, which was brilliant. As well as
the work and all the hanging paraphernalia, we also packed a spade in the car
as the snow forecast wasn’t very encouraging.
In the event, we had no problems, although as I write this now I have a
lovely view of a white wonderland outside as it started snow just after we got
home. So I’m glad we were hanging the
show yesterday.

| Hanging the first piece |
It was fairly
straight forward, once I had played around with the layout of the pieces, as of
course, the work feels different in a new location to what it did in the
studio. It has so much more space to
breathe. R’s height is a huge advantage
in putting the work up, although it will make it fun for me to take down...It
is fantastic to be able to display it in such a lovely location and the amazing
high ceiling really helps show it off to best advantage.

| Putting up the last |
I also have a
leaflet to accompany the exhibition and I’m pleased with how it looks too,
containing the text I posted about the other week.

So if you are in
Edinburgh before 21 February, please drop in to the Scottish StorytellingCentre and have a look. It is open every
day from 10-6, apart from Sunday.

I love the large muses. It inspires me to follow through on my determination to work larger, once the size-limited pieces for our regional show are complete.
Have fun at the opening tomorrow.
Thanks Christine. It's funny as I am now looking forward to working smaller, rather than tussling with my sewing machine!
The show looks great. Good luck with it. I hope you get lots of visitors.
Thanks Irene
Looking good, Gillian. You must be very pleased to see all your work on display - well done! I'm sure the exhibition will be a great success - look out Alsace!
Thanks Sue - it is lovely to see it all together on the walls - it does inspire me to make the next pieces - in fact, I'm ordering the fabric right now!
It looks wonderful and must be wonderful for you to see it all displayed!
Thanks Vicki. It is lovely to have it all on display and to think of the stories they tell when placed together.
Unfortunately I can't be there as it looks stunning.
