Art in Action

Totally gratuitous picture of a tea flower.

If any one is contemplating a visit to this year's Art in Action (21-24 July this year), there is a code which gives you a two adult tickets for the price of one in June's Artists and Illustrators which is also a special 300th issue.  The magazine costs £3.95 but as a second adult ticket would cost £14 you're still saving and have the magazine full of interesting articles as well.  The tickets can be used (once) on any day of the four.  I'm hoping daughter and I will go on either Thursday or Friday but we'll go at the weekend if all else fails - she's now a 'cricket widow' for the summer so I shall see more of her at weekends.
Art in Action is held at Waterperry House and Garden which is just south of Oxford and easy to get to from the M40 or A40.  There's such a lot going on that it's a really good day out. You can sign up for a class, go to a lecture or attend a free concert or some other form of performing art event, as well as stocking up on supplies and watching demonstrations.  There's lots of good food and drink on offer but a bit pricey so take a picnic if you don't want to spend on that.   Waterperry Gardens are also open and there's a plant and garden centre.  Go and have a look at the Art in Action website.

I've been taken to task for not posting on this blog the cards I've made so far - I won't say by whom but you know who you are. They're all over on the Postman's Knock blog, but having put the Tiger I made for Concealment and Revelation on the last post, here's my effort on the theme of Tea (a tea tray) - the lady below is under the lift up flap.   I can't find this picture again to acknowledge the copyright if any.  If anyone reading this would like to claim ownership, let me know and I'll gladly give you the credit - it's a wonderful photo.

There's a garden show on at the Three Counties show ground starting today, and a quilting show next week from Thurs-Sun.  Being so close it's very tempting to go and potter around.  Not long now until the Three Counties Show itself - hope the weather is as good as last year.   And a reminder to Judith - there's a Giant Flea on Bank Holiday Monday 30th May!
