It’s only a couple of days away now, & our house is still in total chaos… never mind, there’s still time to wave a magic wand…

The fennel are starting to swell up, I’ve just pulled up the first of the carrots & beetroot, & the sunflowers are opening one by one.

The slugs & snails are also enjoying themselves. I know they like to eat paper as well as my veg, so have decided to give them a bit of pudding to munch on after a good helping of greens, in the form of bits of my painted & doodled-on paper which go into the creation of my collages.

I thought that their chewing could make some interesting patterns, textures & holes!
So I’ve scattered a few bits of paper in strategic places around the garden & am waiting to see the results…

I found an inspiring artist calles Ines Seidel in Germany & we have now been exchanging artwork through the post (aaaah! I love the post!) since the beginning of March. I’m very excited about this & maybe one day we’ll get all our work together, & have an exhibition of it all in order!
I was going to attach some pictures butam having problems with this at the moment…

]]> http://www.myspacefruit.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=319 Doodle Pen-pal http://www.myspacefruit.com/blog/?p=314 http://www.myspacefruit.com/blog/?p=314#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:30:14 +0000 becky http://www.myspacefruit.com/blog/?p=314 I know I’ve posted this blog before, but I’m STILL looking!

I would love to find someone who would be interested in being my doodle pen-pal; the way I see it is it being like writing letters but replacing the letters with a doodle. It would be a kind of conversation in artwork. I think it could be a really fastinating project, with some interesting work to come out of it. I think having an exhibition showing the whole ‘conversation’ would be great - of course, this conversation could carry on for maybe years if we both enjoyed it & were inspired by each others work.

I imagine the work to be anything that you want it to be - a photograph, a few lines on a scrap of paper, a more substantial piece of work… but I do feel that its important that it’s a conversation, & that the work you post to the other person would be in some way a reaction to whatever they had last sent to you. Even adding to what they had sent you.

Is anyone out there interested? I really think it could be a very exciting thing to do so get in touch if you think you’d like to take part.

This means that I’m unable to recieve any funds, which means I’m unable to take orders from my website!
A MASSIVE pain, I can tell you.

So if you would like to order anything, please email me with details: studio@myspacefruit.com

many thanks
Becky

my dear friend nick’s fantastic new cd.

When I listen to it I see a little animated film playing in my head, of little colored dots & shapes & patterns all going for walks.

What more can anyone desire?
