On Saturday 12th March, Marie Bellamy, our speaker, admitted to being a hoarder of all things which ‘might be useful’ and I think most of us can relate to that; and a ‘dabbler’ in all things ‘crafty’.
We were not surprised therefore to see her vast collection of mixed media pieces which ranged from wood work, through paper, plastic in all its forms, paints and dyes of many kinds and some fabrics. There were books, pictures, panels, jewellery and much more to see and Marie described her journey from start to finish of some of her pieces, though she did say that she couldn’t always cut up a ‘precious’ piece of painted paper that she had made for some of her projects.
I definitely can relate to that one – with many a box full of bits and pieces!!! Must really do something with them.
I am sure members enjoyed the meanderings of this talented lady but Marie did not want her work photographed, so no pics I’m afraid.
A very good attendance of about 30 members and we welcomed 4 new members who we hope to see regularly at our meetings in future.
