Yesterday I enjoyed a rare morning off - I was reading a blog, which mentioned that Julie Arkell had some of her fabulous pieces in an exhibition in Frome. Well I just had to go and see them for real!
The exhibition was on at the Black Swan Arts Gallery in Frome - just 30minutes up the road.
The exhibition was entitled ' SMILE'
There were a variety of artists exhibiting but I was really interested in the work of Julie Arkell.
Remember at Christmas, her book was on my wish list.
Well I was not disappointed!
She basically had a row of figures along the back wall - they looked just as lovely as I had imagined up close - the detail and finish was perfect!
Sadly my camera battery decided to run out so I was unable to get the detailed shots I wanted but this gives you a flavour of her work. The exhibition is on until the 20th of March, so if you are in the area - do go and have a look - it's free (donations appreciated!)
In the next couple of days I shall be updating you about the work of my other favourite papier mache artist.

I love her work and am very jealous that you have got to see it up close, it's amazing!

Wow! It looks fantastic, I am very envious, but really glad you got to see her work up close!
My favourite favourite artist. I so love her stuff, my house would be full of it if I had lots of pennies.
