Sunday the 4th of October

Carolyn, Lorelle and I headed up to Mangaweka yesterday and had a busy day learning how to cast glass. We had a lovely group of about 8 woman and we all got stuck in and enjoyed Maree teaching us her techniques. I loved sculpting in wax and can't wait to get back up there to see if the moulds worked.

At the end of the day we were all exsasuted but we had all made a mould and were happy with our results.

This photo is of a mould that leaked when the mix was poured into it but that was no problem as Maree showed us how to hand build a mould.

Maree and Drew have worked extremely hard on their Fakes and Forgeries exhbition and the galleries are looking great. There were some great fakes which NZ artists had done, it's going to be hard for Goldie to choose which ones are the best!

As you can see in this photo we had a beautiful day.

My message for the day was: We want to surround you, and we truly wish to give you help. Your joy brings us enormous happiness.

Last night the city was light up with fireworks at Cooks gardens and because we live so close we had the most amazing show from our kitchen window. It went on for about 10 mins and the colours were just amazing, we are so lucky!
