congratulations....

Lyn

I hope you enjoy your little gift and as a momento from my 200th blog post.

A Big THANK YOU to everyone that commented and helped my list grow - my tally reads 936 ONE words and I believe it won't take me long to reach 1000 before my exhibition.

200th Post - giveaway

An all porcelain selection!!

Southern Ice porcelain is an expensive and delicious clay. I fire to stoneware giving a pure white finish, an intentional unglazed outer surface allows me to polish to a smooth soft sheen, with the finish feeling very similar to newborns skin.

Given the nature and the quality of the piece I intend to giveaway I would like to invite you to contribute to my next solo exhibition, most will be familiar with my Domestic Duties Exhibition coming up and many of you have given me your ONE word to the collective (if your not familiar click the link above). The exhibition is just two months away and I would love some more ONE words, so far I have nearly 700 words and it'd be fab if it totalled 1000!

To refresh your memory - "Describe in ONE word your feelings toward domestic duties - negative or positive" - So would it seem fair of me to ask you for Ten (10) - ONE words?

All you need do is comment your Ten (10) - ONE words and which piece you'd like to receive:

1. Looking Glass, 2. Repetitive, OR 3. Punctured

1. Looking Glass

100 Post - give away

In the world of blog there's a pattern, a tradition if you like, of a 'give away' generally an artwork when reached a milestone of 100 posts. Well this is my number 100! Not for me to break tradition, rules perhaps, tradition definitely not! And the chance to be able to give someone something, for me, is an added bonus.

I live by three moto's;

1. 'Our judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances' - Wayne W. Dyer

2. 'The greater danger for most of us lies not in the setting our aim to high & falling short; but in setting our aim to low, & achieving our mark' - Michelangelo And,

3. 'The very act of kindness can unprision you' - unknown (I'm not sure if I made this one up or I read it somewhere)

Living very passionately by the last moto and on reflection of all three, I decided to give a choice from three very different mediums...

All you need do, in the comment box note your name and which numbered piece you would like eg; Kim - No. 3 (All things Lead to One) I'll be drawing the name and announcing the new owner, at the end of the week Sunday 12th Dec, 2010.
