Correspondence used for the artwork ‘Many Hands: A year of exchanges and stories’

I’m in Melb. Are these pieces for sale? – C

Hi, yes sort of. I’ll email you some info of the project B

WOW the project sounds amazing, and I’d love to be involved, not sure yet what I could do for an exchange, I work in Admin so perhaps something like that? OR I also do basket weaving using NZ Flax? Let me know if either of these ideas appeal C
Cool, I actually need LOTS of admin help but that may be tricky with you down there. Would it be possible to make a small waste paper basket size basket out of NZ flax? B

 Sounds like we may have an exchange.I’ll work on the basket and send you pics along the way.looking forward to keeping in touch. I have this weekend away so will start then.  C

The colours in the pic you sent me of your work are beautiful! Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Ps. so sorry to hear about your mum.  I’m dreading that stage of life. My mum is 76 and really fit but I guess it may happen in the future. B

yes the elders..it’s very stressful and sad…I suggest you ask your mum whilst she is fit to start cleaning out her house. we are having to do that now for mum as we need to sell it for the $500,000 bond on her room at the old aged home….crazy money. C

Just touching base. How are you going with the exchange? B

I’m hoping to finish it on the weekend, it’s been a long process as I’ve been so busy but also lovely to come back to your basket. Have been loving seeing/reading of your other exchanges and have told friends of your project and how lovely it is. C

Fabo – How exciting! B                                      

I’ve emailed the pics. I’ll get a friend to take a pic on the weekend of your piece with the white background – C

Hi Can, I hope you received the basket and you like it. Are you able to email me a pic of your hands holding it? B

yes I’ll do on the weekend. I live alone and the cat ‘ take pics so need to wait til a friend comes over – C
