old things swimming about

revisiting an older image from two years ago now. this was something i was doing before i left for london. i have been digging up old things and looking at them again.

i've also started to map out my 'cyling the clouds' book.... some sneak peaks coming soon.

painting and sewing

here are some finished projects. one is a painting that i have had in my head for months now, finally out on canvas. i think it works well. i like the colours. it is so nice to get back into oil paints.

the other project is my kitchen quilt, now finished with its matching cushions. i am practicing goosdsewing (no cutting corners) for when i start printing my own designs and want to sew them up into things to sell. i think i will try to sell these pieces at an open studio i am preparing for, maybe some time early next year.

mansfield natural dye workshop

last week was a very special week for me. i went to mansfield with a couple of friends and participated in india flint's landskin felting and natural dye workshop. here are some snaps from the journey. it was so good for my soul and a lovely way to integrate back into living in melbourne. it has been a bit of a culture shock coming back from london, but going out to the country with creative people reminded me of why i love this country!
