Betty's - TWICE!

Bit late with this one I afraid.Well, what a lot to report. 
The Joe Cornish Gallery in Northallerton is fabulous! What a lovely space. Sue drove me there with the sculptures and we had four season's weather in a day. Once delivered we had a wander into town and found Betty's! Say no more. Janie and I went back on the train to attend the opening and once again - Betty's! When we walked into the galleries there were already a lot of people there and when I introduced myself to one of the staff  she beamed and said' 'I sold one of yours before I had a chance to hang it on the wall!' What a treat, I think that was the only sale to date but I am delighted to be showing in such a super gallery. Another treat was that as we came down the stairs I saw a big grinning beard smiling up at me - John and Joy had come along with their friends to the opening. They made me feel very special. The day was rounded off with a young couple on the train in wedding clothes, going on their honeymoon to the delight of all the other passengers. The brides trainers set her dress off a treat and the atmosphere was wonderful.
I've got into another group show at Todmorden in June - 'All Creatures Great and Small' its called and I'm sending a piece to the Mall Galleries to enter the Society of Women Artists again.
But what I am really pleased about are my new zebras. I have made some heads and some figures that stand together to make a two or three piece sculpture.I will enter these for the Stockport Open I think I will put some photos on this blog soon as I take some. The blog will still be here although Anna is working on the site.
Finally I have made contact with a lady who saw one of my pieces at the EAC last year. She came to Manchester and we had a great day and found we had quite a lot in common. She is a painter and building up her confidence to begin exhibiting. Good luck Becca - you can do it!
