polka-madness on a chilly december 5th night
The worst thing I could have done to myself after a long week, day and night of exhibition preparation and time was looking at these photos in bed. Whatever exhaustion I felt flew right out of my laughing mouth as I LOLed myself to a state of wakefulness and excitement to get these on the post. But my reasoning got the best of me as I put my camera on the bedside table and forced myself to get to sleep. I’m so happy that people seemed to be enjoying themselves-and am a little disappointed with myself for not crashing a few of the photo sessions!). I hope I have all the names in the right places. I’m sure you’ll let me know if any are wrong!
I hope you enjoy this slideshow taken in the little room in the back, of last night’s visitors by their friends. Best taken with music.

What can I say, you allow and encourage me to remain at play, to be silly and to just be foolish and innocent all at the same time……
I’ll send some polkadots your way this Christmas ;). To keep you young and rejuvenated!
how wonderful
Thank you, S x
We had a wonderful time last night. Everything was beautiful and inspiring. The notebooks, the door, the collages – wow. Jenna loved the polka dots too. xxx
Jenna looked like a character out of a fairytale :) I wish I had a chance to play in the dots with her!
Thank you for sharing your gala evening with those of us who are far, far away. Congratulations!
Thank you. These are photos taken in a small room I had set up with mirrors, a couple of fans, dyed coffee filters and my camera. I love to watch people interact with objects in their own way. My brother took photos of the actual event and I’ll be posting those soon!
Art & Creativity at its best….. Well done.
My oh my. I don’t usually see people smiling at exhibitions. What DID you do to them all?
There was something in the coffee filters.

I’m re-posting this to pump you up for next week’s show! I do hope you try to make it and enjoy yourself. As you may already know, my PGB exhibitions are about you having fun and being involved and camera ready! A reminder to put on your polkadots and charge your phones. I expect lots and lots of Instagrams to include in this year’s slideshow.
