And the sale is over...

Here we are on Sunday, recovering in a slow and gentle way from the busy-ness that is preparing for and running an Open Studio Sale, especially one so soon after returning from away.

We had a good day - it seemed like there were waves of people, and then some respite, then another surge followed by some time to have a cuppa, and it went like that for most of the day.

The studio looked lovely - with some merchandising display help from a friend - and we also raised quite a few hundred dollars for the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre.

Here are some photos of how things were displayed...

As you came in the front door - some of Barry's copper leaves; and one of my solace stones.

A quirky display of some of Barry's ladles.

And one of his sculptures, Bending, which is able to be displayed either indoors or out.

My recent work Carried was also on display.

And although the Perspex box for this fabric book Validating did not arrive in time, it was on show as well.

Some lovely cement tea light candle holders and display cubes, along with Barry's hand printed and stitched book  Daily Words.

Some of my Solace Stones.

And one of Barry's new pieces that I simply adore Poised-in balance.

Barry's small metal word books are always admired and enjoyed.

Some of my new and old Women Friends work was there.

Some of my Fragile Gains II eggshells in boxes on display.

The studio wall on the left as you entered.

It was hard work but satisfying and you always learn so much. A number of pieces are still available on my website so it might be worth a look if you are interested. Barry's wee metal word books and his hand set letterpress books still have some availability as well  you head here.

With many thanks to the folk who visited, who talked art and artworks with us and to those who bought pieces. We are grateful.
