Sorry for the long time since I last posted. A lot had happened. Firstly I dropped my laptop and that took 3 weeks to get fixed, luckily just the screen needed replacing so I didn’t lose any of my files.
Secondly we went to Christchurch for a holiday ( I booked it before the earthquake). We had a lovely time with great weather.
This is the church (Holy Trinity Avonside) where my parents were married many years ago. It has suffered some earthquake damage and they will not be able to use it for a year.
We also went to Hanmer:
Hot Pools
And the lookout above Hanmer
And the family on the beach at Kaikoura
While we were in Christchurch we arranged the transport of my loom back to Wellington. And I have spent the last few weeks getting the necessary missing parts . I have it just about ready for my first ‘go’.
It is a bit tricky as I am a complete novice and the loom came with no instructions!
I have also been to Printmaking classes again this term and am enjoying making woodcut prints.
A finished three colour reduction print:
And some work in progress:
Lastly if you’re in the neighbourhood I am playing in a concert this weekend with the Kapiti Concert Orchestra. We are playing 'Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf’ , Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony , Little Suite for Orchestra by Arnold and an Haydn Trumpet Concerto.
The Concert starts at 4pm and is at the Paraparaumu College Auditorium.
Have a great week
