Busy Busy Busy… just a quick update… ;)

November, 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This time of year is always busy…  so normally I try and take some time out around about now to just Chill! and regain some creativity! but lol just when I want to start winding down I seem to be busier than ever… at the moment I am flat painting  some more work for my galleries… which means that I can’t see me having any spare time at the moment to create my smaller works to list on Trade Me.

One week to go on my Art- Using Mixed Media Course at Hagley! I can’t believe how fast this term has gone by!  Sad that Hagley are finishing their Community Night Classes as we know them… but I am looking forward to the New Year where I will be teaching this course at Papanui High, Night Classes!

An American Indian Legend
“If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and Whisper that wish to it.
Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted”
