I set off to the preview night of the Weird & Wonderful Exhibition at the Makers Gallery & Bistro. It is in Alloa, not too far away from where I live. I was apprehensive and excited at the same time. My Hessian costume was being displayed. The piece is called Rags to Riches. My apprehension was due to not knowing how the piece would be received. My fears were unfounded. All who were there that evening seemed to like it. The Hessian sacks were kindly given to me by the Burgh Coffee Shop in Stirling. Once they held coffee,and now they have been reused and recycled to create a costume. It is displayed on the window ledge of the Gallery. I am still very thrilled that I have my first piece of art exhibited since gaining my degree in Art & Design.It is for sale, and it will be interesting to see if any viewer deems it worthy of purchasing.
The exhibition runs from now up to the 7th November
There is something for everyone in this exhibition, and items are available to purchase.
