I has been a very busy year in terms of exhibitions and creating work. The sales however have been less than stellar and most of what I have sold is smaller work. It is lovely to sell but it is the bigger work that sustains. The smaller work does not create an exhibition of themselves, though they can be good fillers. That said I do seem to be making a lot of smaller works which is a bit determined by the space on my printing plate. My cold press laminator has decided it won't cooperate any more at present ( though it can be fixed with the right tools which I don't have)  and I have to say the design for the wheel turning the rollers is not very satisfactory especially if you apply quite a bit of pressure.
