ART AID - Waronwant exhibition and auction

The auction was last night and my big 'Sheepie' was lot 6 and sold for £340 . I'm absolutley thrilled and speechless!. There were 10 bidders so I think I need to now work on planning my own exhibition. Tonight is an artists reception in the Ormeau Baths Gallery and I can't wait. There were 34 pieces not sold at the auction so that makes my reult even more exciting. Think we need to have a nice dinner out to celebrate!

exhibitions

Since my successful exhibition in Harlequins rugby club my Sheepies were noticed by the RUA and I got the phonecall to ask me to submit a piece for the RUA exhibition in the Ormeau Baths gallery at the end of May. I was so thrilled I could hardly speak and actually felt the guy had got me on the phone by mistake! SO I finished off a large garden sheepie and delivered it to the RUA. I felt as if I should have taken photos of the whole day!
SO my plans now are to prepare enough Sheepies so that I can have my own exhibition later in the year. I need to make 20 pieces of various sizes and then I will plan the venue. There is also the small detail of putting my affairs in order and set up myself as self employed. I also need to do a bit of work on my branding , business cards and labelling my work.
I have taken photos of all the Sheepies I have sold so that a proper record exists for my collectors/
Market day again tomorrow in Coleraine
