When our
group started planning to sell our work at local craft markets we realised that
we needed a ‘portable shop’ and that’s a bit more complicated than a permanent
one. The word went out through the group
and in no time we had most of what we needed. Gerlinde was glad to get rid of a large, light
and roomy suitcase on wheels, I had a good portable mirror and some other
display items from work and made a table cloth and banner. Hazel had picked up a small light display
model when a local shop was closing and so Portia – what else could we call her
– became part of the group as well. The
portable shop collection tends to end up at the home of whoever packed up after
the last market.
At present
it’s all in my garage so when I finish something I can photograph it draped
over Portia.
I’ve
started making the woven bands into cases and they’re looking good.
The back
rod for the green yardage has just appeared over the back beam, a great relief
as it’s been of the loom for ages, time to start another project.
And an update
on the last post on recycling – today I’ve been wearing a top which had been
hidden in the back of the wardrobe for far too long, so far 4 people have
commented on what a nice top it is. It’s
like having a new wardrobe.
