Firstly exhibiting my work at Fringe. Teaching many enjoyable and fun workshops and classes. Exhibiting at many new venues and the regular ones! Changing my stalls appearance and playing with so many new ideas. Plus seeing so many friends around on the exhibiting circuit... you know who you are xx<br /><br />I want to say a big thank you to all of you for supporting me through 2013 and I hope that you continue to do so.<br /><br />My future thoughts for 2014...<br />Teaching more workshops and setting up a weekly mentor group for creative textile students. Re-opening my etsy stall. Exhibiting in a few new venues and may be travelling less! We'll have to see what 2014 brings me!<br /><br />Have a fantastic time celebrating tonight. I hope everyones wishes come true in 2014! xx<br clear="all" />Maria Denthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865980486843511670noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197261603096638310.post-77781986279783597062013-08-16T17:36:00.001+01:002013-08-16T17:36:12.869+01:00<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativebumblebee/9525451342/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3711/9525451342_f39f4a09fa_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativebumblebee/9525451342/">Custom Heart Lampshade</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativebumblebee/">creativebumblebee</a></span></div><br clear="all" />Maria Denthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865980486843511670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197261603096638310.post-91988890012780216302013-08-15T18:05:00.001+01:002013-08-15T18:05:47.256+01:00<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativebumblebee/9515927493/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7337/9515927493_4ff64fd80e_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativebumblebee/9515927493/">Dragonfly and Flower Lampshade</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativebumblebee/">creativebumblebee</a></span></div>Made out of handpainted / sprayed, different thicknesses of lutradur.
