| During the modelling of the Mary MacKillop bust. |
The sculpture studio will be open for all to visit and have a look around my studio, on Friday till Sunday, 11.30am to 4.30pm.
There will be wine and nibbles also available, so come and have a glass of wine with me and ask all those questions about bronze casting and modelling large clay pieces.
I particularly will be happy to have sculpture students attend.
I am soon to begin work on modelling a male soldier and female nurse for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial. This work is expected to take up to 5 months of modelling, before moulds are made for the lost wax casting at the foundry.
This new memorial has been many years in the project stage, but at last it is about to begin and will be placed at the Torrens Parade Ground, Adelaide,in the latter half of next year.

| Banner featuring my painting from Townsville. |
I have been lucky to have been given the banner from outside the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery of Queensland, on which my painting of "Caitlin" was featured.
I am going to hang it from our balcony next week during the Open Studio Days.
The painting itself is going to travel to Mt Isa as part of a travelling exhibition to be shown in September.
I have also been trail running and walking around our local Adelaide hills and did my first night run with Tracy McColl famed for her endurance running of "The North Face, a 48 hour hour event in the Blue Mountains which she finished in 24hrs with team members, and also clocked up 131.6 km during the recent 24hr run event in Adelaide,SA.
Needless to say we took it easy as I had not run at night in the bush before. It was a great run with eyes in the bush gleaming as the torch rested upon the Kangaroos feeding near the track.
