woo hoo (and small happy dance)

Celebrations and small sighs of relief

as I sent off the draft of my MFA exegesis yesterday

arty-farty fireworks pic from the school's fireworks night last week

I'm not cracking open the bottle just yet mind you -

 as I still have a LONG way to go and a LOT of work to do between now and October - 

(which is the end date of my candidature and opening of my examination exhibition)

but today I planted 3 little camellia japonicas beside the studio 

 just to mark the occasion 

 

(oooo there is light at the end of the tunnel!)

TAG - 13

It started with a string line....

 

 

 

 

 

and before too long it grew into ...

 a book spiral

 

 (a book HERB spiral.... with a little pond too)

 

*you might say this is a more substantial 'gesture' 

than most of my previous small offerings

as its now a semi-permanent addition to my studio garden
