A few fragments related to the artists' book exhibition

The Compassion Artists' Book Exhibition closed today so it was the day to pick up our pieces including ones we purchased. The big etched books are on the gravel outside Fiona's studio-shed. Looking good in the early afternoon light.

Fiona and I purchased a few small works by other artists. A few hurriedly taken photos of those pieces follow.

Both Fiona and I managed to sell some of our works including pieces that are likely to go into official collections. I also managed to sell quite a lot of product including: book earrings; small metal books; peace book pendants; and bookmarks.

It was a great exhibition to be in and much thanks must go to Ken and Ardleigh for the tremendous amount of work involved in making this such a successful exhibition.
