"Sea, Sand and Sky", Nelson, New Zealand, 2007

"Sea, Sand and Sky', my very first solo (and tiny) exhibition in the lovely then-Gallery 203 on Trafalgar Street, Nelson, was held from 29 January to 16 February 2007 during three scorchingly hot summer weeks. It was an entirely hand-made exhibition, and a wonderful (and actually very fun for the most part) learning experience, as I gained appreciation for what goes into making an exhibition.

I sold no shawls, but I sold a copy of one of my photographs!



"Wind Print"

"Wave"; blue on one side and green on the other.

"Bubble"

"Gentle"

One piece was not completed until the evening of the day the exhibition opened!

"Deep", a day later

The second room had only two pieces, but two chairs for those who wanted a break after climbing up the steep steps to the gallery. I also set up my small loom and wove small scarves while the exhibition was open.



"Paua"

"Rabbit Island"

A Weavers' Afternoon Tea; they are looking at the samples pieces and my notes.

My dear friend Kath Bee held lunchtime mini-concerts every Thursday.
