‘The spring is sprung, the grass is ris’ as Spike Milligan once said.Last week we had a little glimpse of the sun and also a little glimpse of motivation here in The Material Girls land and I was spurred on to try and finish my panels for an exhibition we hope to stage this August if Covid gives us a break. Our topic has been ‘The enchanted garden ‘ and I have been engaged in all things Bee for this one ( although I must admit to suffering from Bee overload at this point). We started our journey to this exhibition in 2019 full of hope because 2021 is the group’s 20th anniversary and we had great plans for a mega celebratory exhibition at Rainham Hall. Unfortunately life ( or should I say global pandemic ) has intervened and plans have had to be scaled down and altered but we go forward with hope just as we did when I started the group with 6 members 20years ago ‘just for one exhibition’. All these years on I have lost count of the exhibitions, talks we have given, workshops we have led and projects we have been involved with but hopefully there will be many more adventures to be had and textile art to be created.
