I have been trotting off to work in my studio now for a little over a week and it feels good to be working. I have met quite a number of the other artists in the courtyard, all whom are lovely and have made me feel very welome.
Yesterday and I had young visitor for the afternoon. I'm not exactly sure of his name but it sounds like Louik - I shall have to get him to write it down so that I get it right. He was very interested in what I was doing so I had him make a bead. He is 12 years old and so polite and is very good at helping me with my French! His dad is one of the artists in the courtyard. I made him three little marbles and he helped put bead release on mandrels and take beads off mandrels. I always love it when children take such an interest in what we do.
It is Le Mois Moliere here in Versaille which means a month of theatre, arts and music all around the city. A few nights ago I went to see Les Fantaisies mythologiques at Potager du Roi. It was made up of twelve different mini plays or monologues, each of a different mythological creature and was set all around the park. I didn't understand much of it bu it was still very interesting to watch and the actors were all very good.
Tomorrow my son Shasa is coming to visit for a few days so I am looking forward to doing a few things around town with him as well as spending some time together in the studio. Peter is still in Brazil - working hard!
