Fairies Reunited is Launched...

BRAIN NEEDS YOU!...

As the years have passed by she has lost touch with many a fairy.

Hours are lost to daydreaming of their whereabouts ...she decided to take action or risk a life of decreased productivity.

She wants to get in touch... track and trace...reunite the fairies.

Can you help? Do you have a Fairy? Have you spotted one recently?

We must stick together in the PLIGHT TO REUNITE.

It has been an award winning few weeks at Studio 8...

First Helaina with her WOW factor award (3 times she's won it now) and if that wasn't enough she was also highly commended in the Gift Focus Award too ..both at BCTF! The fairies have a lot to live up to!

They won GOLD recently in the Craft & Design Selected Awards (specialist media) and were particularly delighted. Helaina and I are grateful for all our votes...thanks!!! Lucky ladies indeed.

"Samantha Bryan has won the Gold Award because her designs expressed a

sense of fun, tremendous imagination, creativity and attention to

detail, with even the smallest element thought through. Her

presentation was well considered and I admired her resourcefulness and

the wide range of materials she utilized. "

Robin Younger (Specialist Media Judge )

Made by hand...

Samantha and I have been busy bees, and to prove it, here are photos of our stands at Made By Hand, which took place at Tredegar House in Newport, South Wales the first weekend in December. It always takes us a long time to set up... And I was almost the last to leave!

The Scarlet Spears...

Getting there...

We had a lovely weekend, and I'd like to thank my neighbour Sally Pawson, with her sunny disposition and jewellery, for keeping me entertained! Samantha was very lucky to be next to Heather Shaw, a Huddersfield based jeweller (and our third transit van angel!)

Ta Daaaaa..... HOST is this weekend!

Sooo, it's taken a day and a half, but finally, we're tidy! (Well, when I say tidy, please don't expect a miracle, by tidy, I mean we can see alot more of the floor space and the piles of stuff are now neatly-ish stacked.)

Our studio at The West Yorkshire Print Workshop in Mirfield will be open tomorrow (17th September) and Sunday, 11am - 5pm. There will be 15 artists, in total, exhibiting here, so lots to see!
