EXHIBITION

It is now a week from the end of year exhibition at college, so I feel it is time to upload the photos! Most of these are from the open evening on 20th June, which went really well! My artwork is to be in a gallery in Burscough, I sold all my handmade cards and I gave out 75 business cards. Not a bad night by all standards!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I am revamping my blog (as some of you will be able to tell) so I apologise for the empty links- it will soon be done!

SETTING UP ART EXHIBITION

I know that these pictures are meant to come before the actually photos of the exhibition, but never mind! I have been very busy, as you will see. This is my exhibition space 'in progress'.

HOW TO MAKE A FENCE

For the final art exhibition (Monday 20th June at College) I decided to make a little fence- as my main theme is 'The Secret Garden'. So, obviously, I needed a garden gate OR garden fence and all of Saturday was, as a result, spent making one. Here is Hannah's how to... make a garden fence!

First look at the magazine/instructions that your father has given you.
Second, cut the wood on the safe-saw (using grips to hold the wood in place so it doesn't fly off).Angle the saw so that the tops become pointy, like a picket fence. Keep cutting the lengths of wood until you start to have a fence that looks like this:
And eventually it will look like this: (nearly finished!)
Nail it and glue it together and tada! a mini garden fence that can go up in the exhibition.All that is left to do is add the finishing touches- some white pain
t, fake flowers and garden twine to make a prefect Secret Garden fence.

LANDSCAPES

Just a quick card that I whipped up as a thank you for someone, I am right int the middle of exams at the moment, so I should really be revising (rather than making pretty cards with sheep on)! Enjoy!

DAISY CHAIN

No I didn't make a daisy chain (there are a lot of daisy's sprouting in the lawn but not quite that many) but with all the lovely weather we have been having I have been sat outside revising and looking at the daisy's thinking that they could make a lovely daisy chain, if only there we more of them! I don't know about the rest of England, but the last two days have been lovely and hot and not a cloud in sight. Of course, it is raining today, but that is only fair really- I am still in the North West so a little rain is to be expected!

EXCITING NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF HANNAH!

Hello, it's been a while since my last post (busy busy as always) and as exams draw closer, I have some really exciting news, you can now buy my handmade cards in an actual shop!! In a real shop, in Poulton called Willow Gifts, it is on Breck Road and they are £2 each. If you are passing through Poulton please call in and have a look! Staying in Poulton, my artwork is on display in Poulton Library (for a while yet) if you would like to see it. It is with the BTEC students work, but has a different frame (just to be different). So all is well and I am really enjoying this summer so far! The hot weather we have had recently has made it even better! So go out an enjoy the sun (and call in Poulton while you are out there!).
