We’re really pleased with how we managed to pull off the Christmas Market, considering in the end it was a last minute arrangement. We sold some work, although others seem far better at selling stuff than I, I feel the networking was worth it, but as usual will have to wait to find out whether people who said they might want to commission me get back in touch.
Lincoln Christmas Market is the largest in Europe, and we have plans to make it bigger and better for next year.
I now intend to focus solely on work for my residency for the next four months.
Unfortunately, it’s been slow getting back to work following my father’s sudden and unexpected death just before Christmas. The funeral was in the new year, and I have thought of little else than spending time with family, obviously. Luckily, the LAN folk have been keeping things going and things are starting to come together. However, on top of this I have been having to cope with some financial difficulties to do with becoming self employed as a lone parent.
On another note, Magne is doing a project that continues on from the doll project I collaborated with him for back in 2007, combining that with his other project Apparatjik, something known as Pupparatjik:

I hope he’ll be able to expand that further and take it international, another collaboration perhaps?? I can live in hope!!
