Announcing an exhibition... sort of

I'd intended to tell you about my new project today, but now I'm not sure what to say. Some of it remains the same: I intend having a small selling exhibition, and will make some new pieces, maybe a series of themed items, as part of it. The problem starts with what those pieces are to be.

I thought I knew, and have been working on designs for a while, but try as I might, I just can't get them in a state I'm happy with, and I'm going to give up on them (and no, I'm not going to tell you what they were - I don't want them to see the light of day in any form).

I haven't given up on the basic idea I had, and maybe some time in the future I'll find a way round the problem - I hope so, as there are some aspects of it I still like very much. But, not right now: I'm not going to spend a great deal of time and effort working on something I know just looks wrong.

So now what? I have a few ideas floating around in my head, though they all need a lot of work. I need to spend a few days scribbling and cursing, before I decide on an approach. But when I do, you'll be the first to know!
