The exhibition at the Digby Gallery in Colchester has been hung! It was challenging to find a way to hang more than 200 pieces in a gallery with a hanging system!  We did manage to wire in some branches, netting and other folliage. It looks great.  many thanks to all who took part.  I have photographed everything, so you should be able to find your work if you visit the spirit of the forest blog!

I have put most of the work up on the blog.  a few more to scan/post and there are still a few more days of mail.  We are thinking of using branches to hang the work in the gallery.  I'm not sure what that means but hopefully will understand / work it out soon! Huge thanks to all who took part and I will try to post pics of the work at IUOMA soon.  for the moment, look here to see the work!

Brilliant to be getting a wonderful and varied response for Spirit of the Forest!  I understnd that the Liverpool Brownies are sending some mail art! there are also students from a German school posting. I am posting everything over on the dedicated blog:

http://spiritoftheforestmailart.blogspot.co.uk

So you can see everything in its entirety there.  I don't have time for long blogs, so apologies if you feel under-valued!  You aren't. Above is from Domi Guillemin and was folded onto to envelope, a secret woodland, Beautiful.

This piece from Dan Mouer is interactive! When you put the glasses on the forest becomes 3D.  It is definately alive! I want to turn everything into this quasi reality.  a fabulous addition to the exhibition.

More ghosts for the spirited forest from Linda Pelati. BTW, I link everything on facebook too.  Lots of people get to see it that way!

Ana Garcia has used the texture of paint to bring the forest to life. You want to hold, caress and look deeply into this piece.  MOre to come soon, I need to read back the blog and see which things I've already posted.  I have lots more stuff.
