Year Two Day One Hundred and Thirty Six - Curating the Scholarship Show

Dear all, 

On a cold, snowy morning... (!@!@#!@#!@), I set off for school, mentally preparing for one of the most important days of my school year: I was off to set up my work for the 2012 Scholarship Show!

I had already entered a draw to find my spot in the school to exhibit my work and this morning I arrived to see my name ( posh name that I never use), on my spot of wall. My name, on the wall! 

After managing to secure a 'pedestal' for my sculpture that involved another raffle-style draw, I thought I would be able to get all my work up and hanging in a couple of hours. OH, how I was wrong. It took HOURS!

But what a wonderful day! So challenging yet so rewarding. This World is very new to me and I was so touched by my fellow students who were so happy to lend a hand and give advice. I am, thankfully, positioned next to Karen and we both muddled through amidst bouts of hysteria and with the help of a very helpful box of clips. At the end of long day, our work looked great.  It is amazing how complicated 'hanging' of art work can be - how to hang, what to hang, where to hang and why to hang..... *aggggg*. But I am happy it's done and excited for the opening and results from the jury !

And in other news:

1. uh oh.... the bar has been lifted - today I managed to find BOSTON CREAM TIMBITS!

 I took home 10 for D. He was very happy. 

** Boston cream is a donut filled with 'creme patisserie' and smothered in chocolate. D's ( and most people's) favourite.
