Hooray! After fiddling around in the studio for the past few weeks experimenting a little here and doodling a little there (while managing other projects and publicity too), I'm finally finishing a few pieces. :)
So much has been going on recently that I'm aware I haven't had the time to tell you about all of the exciting things that are happening. I'll be blogging about them little by little over the coming weeks. Before I show you a couple of the new pieces, I just wanted to tell you one recent piece of news: my voice has been recorded by Leon Milo and is being used as part of a sound installation in an exhibition at Slott Galerie in Paris! You can find out more about the gallery and the show here: http://exquisedesign.com
The show runs from 15th December 2009 - 12th February 2010, and I'm very excited that my voice is being used in this way - it's something totally new to me! The gallery is beautiful and I'm hoping to be able to get to Paris in time to see the show for myself before the exhibition closes. (Fingers crossed!)
Here are the pieces I've added to The Blackbird Sings shop:
