Dreaming

Summer holidays are over and the kids are back to school this week. Enjoying the peace and quite but also feeling a little lost...

Bazaar

Christmas shopping under the stars in the beautiful gardens of the Fremantle Art Centre? Sounds pretty good. Come and say hi, I will be with my creative buddies Mel and Robin.

Etsy Update

My little shop has been updated! New totes and floral colours, hope you like :)

Light

We have had an SLR camera for a number of years now but I have only ever used it on auto. For the last three Tuesday evenings I have been to Shutterbug School and learning how to use my camera on manual. This weeks homework was "light" and was more challenging because we have had lots of grey rainy days. I finally feel like the penny has dropped and I get shutter speeds and apertures!

Printing - Backyard style

My crafty friend and I transformed my outdoor deck into a printing studio for the day. Not the most professional print table you have ever seen but it still worked a treat. We had so much fun and come away with some screen printed tea towels, tote bags and fabric.
I was printing a new design I have called "Protea Circles". The inspiration and original drawings came from, yep you guessed it - proteas!

Hello...

Just quickly popping into blogland to let you know I will be at Perth Upmarket tomorrow.
It's forecasted to be a sunny winters day!

Hope to see you there.

Botanica

Completly inspired to print when I found this from Publisher Textiles.

Object

I am super excited to show you some lovely pics taken at Object (Australian Centre for Craft and Design) Annual Manual opening last Friday night in Sydney. I was asked to make up some cushions for the Manga Pod ply sitting area. "The Manga Pod is a Japanese ply structure which is on long term loan to us from a Japanese architect. Our vision is to transform it into an engaging learning space which invites our gallery visitors to sit, think, read, learn and shop."
The space looks fantastic, thanks so much to Kathryn and the team.

Pretty Picture's

This pile of books has been sitting on my desk for the last few months. Just too good to be put on the bookshelf.


Completly written in Japanese, this felting book is inspiring for it's styling and photos.


So many great printing projects in here.



Everytime I pick this book up I see something new.
