Sharon phoned last night from Harrogate.Things aren't exactly buzzing for crafters but there is enough business for us to get by. We had strong interest in our small pewter mirrors. A buyer from the National Trust for Scotland would like to have a range for Trust's shop at Hill House in Helensburgh. Hill House, as you probably know, was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh who is one the main sources of inspiration for both myself and Sharon so it would wonderful to have our work in there. We hope we can sort out some kind of deal. It's not just the money it's the meaning.
Back here at Lord's Cotttage, I'm practising my pewter work. I'm not to bad at 'art' but pewter repousse work is difficult. It requires concentration and a strong sense of line. Having a go myself has made me appreciate Sharon's skill.
Phil.
