Red Thread Trail: Thursday 11th April

Well today has definitely been a labyrinth with lots of hopeful red threads and also a few tangled dead ends!

Ok, so at the moment my house smells like burnt baking. Maybe its good my housemates are not home since this would have ruined my reputation they always say they love it when I cook as it always smells good!) NOW it just smells like a disaster! I have attempted to make some white chocolate cookies for the private view and they looked quite nice from the top, lovely and golden brown....with black underneath...

When they have cooled I am going to saw their bottoms off and make them a bit more edible. Not quite a dead end; I think there is a secret passage.

This morning I quickly rushed into uni to print some stuff and photograph my hidden art in the park objects. I was sooo keen I actually arrived before the receptionist! I printed a few posters we were going to hand out but the text had been cut off so it didn’t look professional. I will try and fix it for tomorrow though. It is not a dead end, just a few split ends.

Nadja and Jennie arrived at crate early to start setting up. I was waiting in Canterbury for my parents to arrive so they could transport artwork to Margate. Traffic jams, road works and diversions caused a few knots in the red thread however we managed to get to crate around 12. A big THANK YOU to my mum and dad for their help in transport, it was a long tiring journey and probably not much fun. I don’t know what I would have done without you.

Nadja and Jennie were both really organised and on top of things so there was no need to panic or stress out. We all helped advise and support eachother so the afternoon went really smoothly. We got the majority of the exhibition set up so just finishing touches tomorrow. We all left together at 6.30. It was nice to get a lift home from Jennie, especially because it was absolutely freezing and I couldn’t feel my fingers or toes by that stage.
