I guess it is all to do with where the moon is in relation to the earth's shadow, and all that starts to become complicated when trying to visualise in 3 dimensions! Hopefully more photos of work in the exhibition will be taken soon. A pity that we aren't in range of a day trip, it would be lovely to see you and the other blogger friends from around the world!<br /><br />Hi Sandy,<br />Your mention of walking around the yard at 4am on a frosty morning where the moon was so strong that you had a shadow, reminded me of a time when we lived in a fairly remote forestry village where there were hardly any lights at night and almost no light pollution. We used to go for walks on clear winter nights, just by the light of the moon and stars. A lovely thing to do. <br /><br />Hi Michèle,<br /><br />Sorry that you have warped sponge holders, I certainly share similar frustrations with my yarn bowls!<br /><br />Laura's transformation of my warped pots was genius, and made me feel so much better about them!!<br /><br />Hi Patti,<br />A shame about the overcast sky in your part of the world when the moon was entertaining us down here! It was quite a good show too! Quite a strange feeling when the moon goes red and loses most of its light. I did notice that the stars appeared somewhat brighter when the moon went dim, which was rather a nice effect. <br /><br />It would be so much fun if you were able to come to the exhibition. It is a pity about distance.. we need some sort of teleporting device like they had on Star Trek many years ago,..."Beam me up Scotty"! Maybe the kind boffins at Google will think of a blog teleporting button for us?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-87504461328788049802014-10-13T10:56:10.376+13:002014-10-13T10:56:10.376+13:00What a brilliant recycle Laura found with the tea ...What a brilliant recycle Laura found with the tea lights in the yarn bowls. Just lovely.<br />We missed the blood moon due to an over cast sky. And I got up early to see it. <br />Sure wish I were in that area for your exhibition. I know you will do wonderfully.

Beautiful! The moon was so bright here last night! I walked around the yard at 4 am and had a shadow. We also had a hard frost, scraping car windows this morning. <br /><br />Best of luck with the sale! Keep grown those beautiful crystals :) Sandy Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718069049436444431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-54894853046890484922014-10-13T01:48:44.561+13:002014-10-13T01:48:44.561+13:00What a great use for warped yarn bowls.

It's a little far for a day trip, unfortunately! I would love to see a few more photos!smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-70161972473635116272014-10-12T17:15:25.138+13:002014-10-12T17:15:25.138+13:00Hi Rhonda,

I seem to be worse than ever at deadlines these days, and I remember packing pots that were still warm to the touch to one exhibition! Probably we have the right personality to be on stage, with all the drama of opening night!<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br />Good to hear from you. I see that your little self portrait photo has changed, and looks really nice too! The Orphelia painting is amazing really, quite manically obsessive in detail. I read somewhere that the poor young lady who modelled for the painting unfortunately became ill as a result of having to spend many hours in a bath tub of cold water! The flowers in the painting are rather lovely. I imagine that many trips to market were made to buy fresh flowers for the artist when he was painting this!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-5865083302604758442014-10-12T16:18:01.785+13:002014-10-12T16:18:01.785+13:00oh great photos of the moon and Laura's art an...oh great photos of the moon and Laura's art and your pot on the postcard look like they go together, hope you both sell lots of work.<br /><br />I was unfamiliar with the painting Ophelia rather hauntingly appealing.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-78697564852089703482014-10-12T13:18:19.761+13:002014-10-12T13:18:19.761+13:00love the moon and tea light magic photos.

My studio is spewing fabric and it is in absolute chaos, but somehow I can keep on manouvering in a creative manner.EEEEK!! counting down until our exhibition!!
