I had all kinds of adventures.......
Yesterday was a terrific day spent with 2 friends visiting
Bovey Tracey and the
Devon Guild of Craftsmen where we had lunch and browsed around the shop and exhibition space.
But the main purpose of our visit was the 'Assemblage' art trail,
curated by Karen Pearson, in Yarner Woods nearby - we wandered around the 2.5 km trail enjoying all the temporary artworks sited around the walk - it was a mild November day with a hint of weak sunlight that highlighted the work on show. Here are some of my favorite works.....

| 'A Colony of words' Mandy Beall |
visitors were invited to take a clay word from
Mandy's colony (of words not ants!)
 |
| 'Tree time' Martin Procter |
This colour wheel based on the surrounding landscape by the painter
Martin Procter with words from Philip Larkin ' Time is the echo of an axe within a wood' was just stunning
 |
| 'Bundles of sticks' Peter Ward |
Several 'Bundles of sticks' by Peter Ward, who is also running workshops, were placed strategically around the trail - I loved their simplicity

| this was not listed so I wonder if it was added by one of the visitors? |

| Scavenger's Shelter (detail) Shelley Castle and Dave Ray |
This shelter really blended with the surrounding woodland and had a real indigenous feel to it - the gentle movement of the feathers in the light breeze gave it a temporary feeling
