Fannie & Fox on tour again.. At the Enys Gardens 'Spring craft fair'.

We are getting ready for another outing at Fannie & Fox

The Enys Gardens Spring Craft Fair 

Pam Tongue has been busy making beautiful nuno felted scarves

(Photo is from our newly refurbished gallery).

Mick Dobie is busy painting ... Hopefully as I type this post.

Liz Perry has been very busy painting a mural, 

fingers crossed she has found some time

 to paint some of her wonderful canvases

I've painted a few oil studies of bluebells on recycled board.

'Study in blue and yellow'

(6"x 6" mounted on standard 10"x 10" mountboard)

'First bluebells'

(6"x 6" mounted on standard 10"x 10" mountboard)

Keri Valentine has been very busy with new work

 and will have her own stall this time.

Sadly I haven't got images of all of our artists at this present time

Come along and join us at Enys House. Penryn, Nr Falmouth this coming weekend.  

It's going to be an amazing weekend lots of artists and crafts people to meet.

The house is amazing and the gardens are spectacular.. 

Winter window at Fannie and Fox..

All of those recycled plastic leaves...

Became traditional Cornish bunch sometimes called a Cornish bush..

They were traditionally made from holly and ivy, collected from the hedgerows.... 

But... In our Fannie and Fox way...

One of our amazing artists Rebecca Sims updated the idea by reusing milk cartons

and lemonade bottles.

The window from the outside looking in.. Is magical.

 

And inside the gallery everything looked very festive.

Just wanted to share this stunning white fox made by Rebecca Sims...

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..

Well here we go... On a Co-operative journey... 1st post...

Here goes...  I have been chosen/invited to join the Co-op.. Ha!!  Yes, it is the Co-op. But not as you know it.. An artists Co-op set up by an amazing lady called Pam Tongue, more about the amazing Pam soon.
 
I would like to invite you to join me, on a journey with Fannie and Fox, a Gallery run as a Co-Operative in Penryn, Cornwall.  My idea is to write a blog about my adventures with the other artists at Fannie & Fox and this is my very first post.  I expect the layout will change as I rack my brain on how to play around and make it better, It's been years since I set up my last one so please bare with me..

My plan is to show you around the gallery, I will introduce you to the other artists and show you their work.. I'm also hoping that they will invite me to their studio's to take a little peek and take a few photo's for the blog. (How I love an artists studio).. 

The blog will be a warts and all blog. So, good times will be recorded along with the not so good times too.. The ups and downs of working with a lot of creative women should be an interesting read. I hope!

Also in the mix I will show you my new work that is going in the gallery and perhaps a peek or two at other galleries in Penryn, Falmouth and the local area.. Meeting other artists as we go..

 Here are a few of the pieces I have put into the gallery.
