New window display at Fanny & Fox

Our new window display has a very Autumnal feeling about it.

We all had input on this particular window in one way or another.

Keri and I collected the willow which was kindly donated by Penryn high school garden. Pam cut down a tree and drove it to the gallery with it poking out of her sun roof, what a sight that must have been. 

We are all particularly pleased with our fox and moon.. We couldn't decide at one stage whether to cover it in coloured tissue or paint it.. We are so happy that we decided to leave well alone, it could have all gone a bit wrong..

The re hang will happen soon, I will post updates soon..

Willow, bamboo and a lot of sticky tape.. A new window in progress

This week at Fannie & Fox  in the downstairs studio we have had the first of our 3 planned sessions to work on the construction of our new autumn window..

Any clues to what it is yet?

We have been kindly given some willow and robbed our gardens of bamboo canes..

Amanda and Liz in full swing..

And we have been working in a true team fashion to begin making a.... 

..Fox.. 

What else could it be?

Amanda, Julie and Liz working hard.. Or maybe posing for a photo..

More updates as we progress and news of an exciting competition we will be running in conjunction with the launch of the new exhibition and window display..

We also had a visitor a 16 year old little lady called Pelle.. 

Ta da! The Autumn Exhibition at Fannie and Fox

My... Oh,  my.. It was raining bats and frogs...
Not that a little wind and rain can deter the fine folk of Cornwall.
So many lovely people came to see us, it was a joy and we all had a ball..

 

The window looked fantastic, despite worrying myself silly about it. So here is just a sample of the amazing work that was on show.

The private view comes to an end and it's time to reflect..

Forbidden fruit and autumn leaves..

 'Forbidden fruit'

 acrylic on board, soon to be in Fannie and Fox..

(Such a naughty girl, tempting an 'innocent' guy..Look carefully in the water..)

Autumn leaves, I collected these a couple of weeks ago around Falmouth and pressed them in the telephone directory.  They are the beginnings of the autumn window and show at Fannie and Fox. Date of private view to follow..
It took ages to paint them with gel medium and it takes ages to dry, allegedly.

So, I walked up to the car boot whilst the first side was drying. I didn't get much, two old 'wire in trays', a scarf for Pam Tongue, 4 curly shelf brackets for my man's garage and a game of lexicon.. (Well, 2 part games really).. All for less than £3.00. I love a car boot and the treasures I find. Then back home to finish the leaves.. A good day.
