Our year long exhibition is looming large and due to kick off on June 16 with a national housebuilder. Forty artists, from predominantly the East Midlands area, will be represented. This has been a huge challenge and we have enjoyed every minute.

From glass, to oils, from furniture design to jewellery and costume, designers and artists have been been most gracious with their time and work.

Diane is sending me a definitive list of all the people involved with the project and I will blog over the weekend about the artists who have kindly loaned their work to us for this epic show.

We will follow up with pictures of their work after the opening. This is truly inspirational art from the East Midlands and beyond.

My task for the weekend is to produce a bespoke mirror for the master bedroom for the project above. Today I have ordered the backing and collected the cut glass pieces from a Nottingham glass company and tomorrow, with the help of glass adhesive, PVA, paint and a thought in my mind, the mirror will be completed. The thought process is to juxtaposition the slivers of glass in a random pattern. All has been measured and carefully thought out. So why do I feel a nervousness that the finished article will not be as I visualise?

So much is happening at the moment. Our art screen boards are due to arrive for the project and with them has come the headache of promotion and letting the world know of their existance.

Icon Magazine are visiting Nottingham in two weeks time and we have a date and a time in the diary and a proposal on the table for the 100% design show at Earl's Court.

The proposal is good, and the Icon guys are great; with vision. And hopefully, very soon, I can blog about the outcome and a collaboration with another Nottingham based company.

I am increasingly worried about The Princess and The Castle as she has not had any attention for some time. I pray for rain this weekend. Then I can tear myself away from the compost bin, the maturing vegetables and get back to Cloud Stratus where there is almost more reality than I world I inhabit.
