Somebody asked me the other day...

...what I had been up to. And I couldn't remember for a while because I am busy planning my future escapades. But it's coming back to me now....not in any particular order!!

Enter two local art awards...no prizes.
Enter a National photo award....expecting 'no prizes'
Enter Woodgate Arts in Spring....Sold one framed drawing.

Three photoshoots....one being of the beautiful Roana from BRAG.

Interview with two French documentary film makers. (More on this soon.)

Conducted a digital workshop for the BRIDGES lovely people. Helped hang and take down their 'Express Yourself' exhibition.

Attend opening of 'Living Change' touring show that I am part of after winning the Digital Art Award (that I blogged about last year.) Messed up the last line of my poem after my floor talk!

Delivered a carload of biscuit tins to BRAG for their wonderful 'Collectamania' exhibition. And pick up.

Didn't mess up my ABC interview with David Dowsett!

Packed and took over 1000 biscuit tins to install as a 5m sq 'Lifescape'on the floor of Gatakers Artspace in Maryborough.(Couldn't have done that without Susan and Peter Hutton).

Prepare application for WBHD 2

Received the wonderful news from the State Library of Qld, that my 'Christine Turner's Art Blog' has been selected for inclusion in the PANDORA archive, Australia's web archive...allowing public access in perpetuity.

Assist in setting up opening of 'Soul Journey Art Gala' at my Dirty Linen Artspace. Press releases etc.

Prepare for upcoming Folio Art Market at Dirty Linen in a couple of weeks.

Meet with Creative Regions tomorrow for a significant Place Activation project I have been chosen to take part in.

Finish my large graphite work, one good large acrylic figure study, several digital images and commence a video for a possible projection in December.

And that is only October and November, and is  all I can remember. No wonder people say, 'Oh, we haven't seen you in a while.' cx

Charlotte's Guest Blog

Today I am posting a guest blog by my young grandaughter Charlotte, who is 5 years old.  (Blogging with a little assistance.)

Last Thursday I went with my sister, my Dad and my Gran  to visit ABC Open. The building was very fancy.  It was a very big place.



We had to put on special visitors passes.   A lady came to the foyer.  Her name was Ann and she was very nice.

We all went to see the 'Giggle and Hoot' studio. We saw where all the kids had sent their pictures in to be hung up on the wall.

We saw the ABC  news desk.

Then we went in a lift up to the ABC Open offices.  Lots of people worked there.  They were very friendly. They told us all about ABC Open.

They saw my orange camera. They liked it because it is orange.  Orange is my favourite colour.  They asked to see some of my photos.  I showed them a photo of my family having dinner, and a photo of my pink notebook.

A very kind lady gave us orange caps with ABC Open written on them.

Then we went to the Play School room and I saw Big Ted and Little Ted. They were really big!  We got a suprise because  Little Ted was bigger than Big Ted too!  My sister and I got a photo taken.

The we went to see the horse puppets that had been practising for a play. They were very big puppets.)

We went into a lift and  Richard from Gardening Australia was there.  Gardening Australia is one of my Mum's favourite shows.

We said thankyou and good-bye to Ann.  Last of all we had our photos taken as Bananas in Pyjamas. 

It was amazing!  


Charlotte is quite right...it was amazing!  Thanks to Ann Chesterman and the friendly people of ABC Open. c x
