And the winner is.....

Now when the exhibition is well on it`s way I need a new creative goal in life. As you may remember I had a little competion a few posts back challenging you to take a guess at what I was making. Today when I was going to pick a winner I suddenly realized that I didn`t want to pick out just the one. All the kind readers entering a comment should win something since the comments helped me so much towards gathering my confidence. I decided that I am going to try and customize the winnings - trying really hard to give you something personal based on what I read on each of your blogs. Blogs that I enjoy so much to read!


It might take a while.....but how is that for a new creative goal eh?

So dear commentmakers......

......please mail me your address at fotoblogg@hotmail.com and I will send you your customized gift. It might take a while. Can`t say when or what..... creativity can`t be hurried or urged. All I can say is that it will come through your letterbox some time this year !

Take ca......
Oh you want to know what I was making? Well here goes....

Office space

The mobile for my exhibition made out of recycled office documents






A guardian Angel customized for my dear friend Barbro out of a tin can and bottlecaps

Stage fright



It all seemed such a good idea at first. A fun goal to have and something that would make me finish some of my wool projects….
But now….If you can have a panic attack, stage fright and a severe attack of the heebe jebees at the same time then I have it. Tomorrow is the opening day of my exhibition and yesterday my dear friend Monne and I hung the pictures. It left me feeling…..scared! It is now out of my control. I can`t change my mind about what photos to show or which of my needle feltings to bring any more. It`s done! What if no one likes them? Or no one comes looking? Last night I dreamt that I came to work ( my exhibition is at my work) and all the photos had fallen down during the night and the frames laid smashed to pieces on the floor. I wonder what a therapist might make out of that. One way ticket to the looney bin probably!

So please, please, please keep your fingers crossed for me tomorrow night !

Take care
Jeanette
