These are very sweet to scatter on a table ... any table ... a meeting, a show and share, and dinner party, an exhibition and the punters, whomever they may be, get to take them home. <br /><br />Sweet!Gemma Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630138318071963976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-27174472547418107582015-10-04T22:20:18.704+11:002015-10-04T22:20:18.704+11:00Love these Gemma - and the words too!

The important thing to remember is how good it made you feel to do the work, how good it made you feel when someone bought your work and how good it makes you feel to share what you do with others. Whatever it is. Constructive criticism from a tutor or a friend when asked for is always welcome. But, from ill-meaning people, well bah humbug. You don't have a problem Kate, they do.<br /><br />I (try to) treat all such people with a special kind of kindness ... ;-)Gemma Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630138318071963976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-60238084093572609712015-10-01T21:04:31.404+10:002015-10-01T21:04:31.404+10:00oh Gemma that is so funny, imagine if you had to d...oh Gemma that is so funny, imagine if you had to do it by hand, you could charge $1 per hole , because it took so long- lol<br />l met a lady recently who brought a piece of my work and we now have become friends, she told me that she had also brought a piece of your work a few years ago too, l was so excited to tell her l was doing a workshop with you, my work is only average compared to yours and other teachers of Calligraphy , but this friend of mine just loves it, a few weeks ago we were at our calligraphy gathering and there is one lady there that always picks out very tiny mistake l make, my friend couldn't believe it, Later that night l got an email from her to cheer me up, her comment was " please dont listen to what that lady says, your work is lovely and you are my Gemma Black " it is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, please don't worry ,l'm no where near your standard, but l love to learn and l love that l enjoy what l do and l try not to listen to people who are not pro's at it who like to be critical - sorry for the long story, cant wait till November, its better than waiting for Santa........<br />kate adderleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291184020709854997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-31572380692965180352015-09-30T21:31:46.803+10:002015-09-30T21:31:46.803+10:00It is funny Kate, the number of people who ask me ...It is funny Kate, the number of people who ask me how I get the piercing so perfect. When thread isn't involved people tend to forget there is something called the sewing machine! I look forward to seeing some of your work and meeting up in a few weeks.
