Miss Talissa

It is very appropriate that I follow George's post with a post of his great grand daughter, Talissa. These were on the USB that was delivered to the Assembly for David to do the eulogy. These photos are so beautiful I asked Diane if I could do a blog post. I must give credit where it's due. These photos were taken by Cristina Rose Photography last Christmas.  I'm sure you'll agree with me, that they are fantastic!

Heck Di, you must be so proud. Your baby girl is gorgeous.

Cristina Rose, you are the cleverest thing.

Call into SOUL Gallery and look at Cristina's other works

Soul - Artists Gallery

Saturday morning and it's my turn to work at Soul - Artists Gallery. A collection of ten artists who display their art and crafts at Soul, in Norfolk Island.

Mary Christian-Bailey and Kaye Nobbs, with two entirely different types of work. Kaye's is very island and Mary's is delicate and quite beautiful

Maeve and Beck's wall with Kaye Nobb's sarongs, pareos, tablecloths and Island hats

Lou and Suzanne with a glimpse of Shari's wall. Natalie and Yoyo have left the group and Shari has joined us ~ Great to have you on board

Gaye's wall ~ needs a bit of an update. Haven't painted for a while but I'll get into it

Cristina Rose and her new wall ~ she is the most prolific of us, and always has something new to look at.
If you're on Norfolk then please call in ~ if you're not on Norfolk then come on over and call in anyway

Opening of the Gaye Evans Gallery at Soul

Well we had the opening on Friday night at the top end of town and many people came to share our enjoyment. Rather than upload the same images, take some time out after this and check out the gayeevansgallery.blogspot.com and see what I've been up to on the other side of my life.

Last night, talking 'bout last night...

Ada in Cristina Rose' fairy room. I don't know whether Cristina calls it her fairy room, but I do.
The end of Pauline's wall and a very large hibiscus by Gaye Evans, artiste extraordinaire!


The other side of the room from Pauline's wall. Looks spectacular now that Lou has done some further decorating. I sincerely miss the fact that I didn't get a photo of her up on the ladder but sometimes one has to forgo one's pleasures in light of one's own security! Check out one of the two card stands she got for us.

Maeve and Beck's wall joining onto my wall, Dids gorgeous all Norfolk pine rocking horse and Eve and Doug's frame board



Maeve and Beck's wall looking fantastic, and Ada showing off Gaye's "Contemplation" with Cristina Rose' hihi's in the background


Shades of the Travelling Wilbury's. Went straight to Soul from work and fixed up a wall some charming child had semi prepared by tearing the wallpaper, then a wall in the kitchen and general stuff. Lou and Ada came along and we finally left about 9.45 pm. I know. I know. But tonight is the big night and hopefully I'll be uploading some WONDERFUL pics morla. In the meantime, check out our progression.

Preparation

Flat out getting ready for Soul's (finally) opening morla. More people have put stuff inside and it's looking pretty good. Suzanne Evans has amazing product and Yvon has displayed her awesome jewellry. Have no idea how to walk around taking a movie to put on the Gaye Evans Gallery blog. I can't believe that Thomas just walked away. By the way, he's (supposed) to be putting some photos on this blog. You simply have to look at them. His photos are amazing. Rozzie and I went to the County Music Awards night last night and did our thing with the calculators. Jos, Jackie and Kim were supervising and it flowed as smooth as cream. Yet again I had no idea who might win the TransTasman. It was a great night and Aunt Jen gave us top seats. Dids three trophies were displayed opposite the front desk and looked fantastic. Alot of comments on them from visitors as we walked in. All in all, all's good!
