Yes that's right, Stone carving! Depsite saying I was going to paint I spent my first day chipping away at a piece of limestone. One of the other students said: "I wonder what your students would say if they saw you doing that". If any of my students are reading this, perhaps they would like to comment! I haven't worked out how this can be combined with embroidery yet, but I'm working on it...
Spent today doing some life drawing which was a really good way to get going. It's strange having a big space to work in and all the time in the world to work in it. I feel like I should be doing something more conventional.
There is a lot of wildlife here in Cyprus. Have heard stories of tarantulas (a dead one fell on the head of our artist in residence, John), and snakes but thank goodness, have not yet seen either! There was a praying mantis in the studio this morning which was pretty weird looking (see photo:)
He seemed to like Mals work as it was very hard to remove him.
Anyway, off to do some more drawing
Bye for now!
