Saturday, 7th January: Day 7 & Sunday, 8th January: Day 8


Well, what a madly busy weekend!

Alas and alack, not a huge amount of completion, but many chances for unbridled creativity, and dear reader, you'll be glad to hear that there where a couple of chances to at least do little bits!

What's more - one of those 'little bits' was tracking down the cable to the camera - can you believe it, it WAS in the cable drawer all the time - I must've been looking straight at it for half the week!

So here we are, some of this week in photos (and I'll be updating the Facebook album after this update)




This shot documents the evidence of the "creative process" - in this instance, Al and myself, working out which speed is best for mixing plaster by drill attachment...
















Sure you'll agree, it was worth it for the finished product (more and better shots on the facebook album)
















and a special footnote for this evening...

I thought maybe you guys would like to see the man behind the project (and me).

This is the lovely Christophe, with Mogwai (who, as you can see, believes that the Universe ends about 2" from Daddy). As well as being another seasoned performer and having formed the new 'Breffni Starwalkers', West Ireland's first astronomy club, (not to mention the one who makes everything tick!) Christophe is often extremely creative in his own right, but as a magician, it's impossible for him to share any secrets with us, we just have to sit back and enjoy the finished product at one (or more) of his forthcoming new shows from his own company, Trapdoor Entertainment...

  1. Forgot to mention that Saturday saw the first part of a new pair of gents' wristies for the shop as well as the brainwave of converting the throw panel into a teapot cosy, given the logistics provisions it would've taken to manage time and resources for that project against other considerations, such as the shop, study time, sleep, etc...


    Also, brief plug here - textiles classes and workshops, one-on-one or as a group are currently available through the Cultural Quarters.
    There's also the possibility of a second knitting club - this time either afternoon or evening (so as not to class with children and yoga) in the Cultural Quarters too - just name the day and time that suits...
