V&A Friday Late and Brisfest 2010

So this week was very busy indeed for Linda!  

Spent the week creating my cards for the V & A and getting my work together for Brisfest 2010 .

On Friday i shot off to the London to help out with The V & A's September Late which had the theme 'Two's A Pair'. Specifically i helped out with the Memory Game in the Morris Room which was made up of 120 A2 Cards made by 60 artists. The V & A staff who i worked with were very welcoming and lovely to spend the evening with!

I was sad to see my cards won and taken home, but very proud! The couple who won them seemed very nice so im sure they went to a good home!As i took part in one of the games i won 2 cards myself! They are by Sweet Design Studio and one of them is currently hanging in my kitchen!

More from the Memory Game and the whole night can be found Here  (I can be spotted in the background!)

To make the night even better i bumped into Patricia Niven (of Container Plus) and Sarah Winman (her first novel is coming out next year! 'When God Was A Rabbit') And also singer Laura Steel who was very lovely. They stole me away and we went for a drink, so rushed back to get coach back to Bristol in the early hours of Saturday morning in time to set up for -

Brisfest 2010.

Three young ladies kick me off my work space!

All in all a fun day, a bit quiet, but the event is going on till Sunday. It will result in a final magazine, so watch this space for that!
