I'm still here, and still creating…just

By Heather, on March 3rd, 2010%

I know I’ve been rather absent these past few weeks, and have been drip feeding my posts.  I’m still recovering from this virus I have, and I’m trying to shake this cough. I’ve also been trying to play catch-up after being off college for a week. I’ve had little enthusiasm for my . . . → Read More: I'm still here, and still creating…just

By Heather, on November 1st, 2009%

I’m still feeling a bit poorly, and hopefully I’ll be feeling much better tomorrow.  The weather is dreadful here today.

My tutor said this morning as we were leaving the class: ‘Enjoy your holiday; take a well earned rest; you deserve it; you’ve all worked at a phenomenal pace’.

Collography Printmaking
