Frosty Mornings

I walk along the Tamar River boardwalk most mornings on my way to work,
some frosty mornings I have to detour or risk ending upon my bum... Here is a pic or two...
I am not the only one. :)

A little breathing space

Bron at the start

Rynne (host) and Bron with her framed up chair

weavin the back...lookin fantastic

crack willow and golden willow close up

Well I have been busy...
Finished my piece for Shelley Beach exhibition ( pics later)
Taught a willow furniture/sculpture workshop last weekend...hubby Ian assisted and the 8 participents had a great time creating fabulous pieces from crack willow and dog wood...
Original plans went out the window and the materials took over... here is a few pics !!

Bernadine hosted the workshop and her partner Rynne supplied the shed and dogwood.

A well earned rest

the fiddly bits

LeeAnne had a plan and it all came together beautifully over the weekend

lovely pieces of dogwood, used to perfection  yet agan.

Anita used apple tree prunings as her structure and willow for bracing

and weaving the seat.

second piece on the go

Katherine beginnings...

almost finished planter box

and the second one o the go

give a girl a drill and who knows what might happen.

Dee thought she might make a manequin , but changed her mind

A family sized outdoor bench/couch grew as the weekend progressed

with help from Ian

and advice from Dee's hubby John....How will we get it home? he asks...

It was a fun weekend and unfortunately my camera went flat so I don't have pics of all the pieces finished but am hopeful I will get some copies to share....especially the group pic of us all seated on Dee's piece.

Now it is time to create a' Hidden Treasure'
  for the Georgetown Exhibition in Oct...
No Rest For The Wicked as they say...
