On the telly!

I was very excited to see my friend Amy on the TV on Sunday night. You can see it here. She was talking about the Australian Tapestry Workshop...while wearing a necklace I made. An excellent way to end a pretty fantastic night.

good news

Firstly, I'm very happy that the pieces at the Geelong Gallery have almost sold out for the second time...what a relief!
Also, I'm confirmed for the Winter artist Market in Newtown Geelong on the 24th of June, so please come and have a look. Very conveinentlly, the market is on a Friday and starts at Midday and finishes at 9pm...yes, it is a long time, but how cool if you can only get there after work! More details to come...


24th June 2011
All Saints' Hall

necklaces in progress

 Milagros...straight from San Antonio, this one I think is a woman?

I am enjoying the slightly spooky nature of these gorgeous folksy charms.

Antique French chintz in rosey tea colours...It took a bit of strength to finally snip into these.

I must just tell myself that they were probably going to end up in a bin, so this is a bit better than that.

And this is quite a success story, my first custom made piece on Etsy

More necklaces

Geelong gallery

I just thought I should show what my work looks like at the Gallery

Here's what part of the shop looks like, it really is a great place to get cool bits and pieces

And here it is in the cabinet.

At the Geelong Gallery

This is a new range I'm working on, all the materials in this piece are from a reclaimed American quilt, probably from Depression times. I'm really into this at the moment. All faded and used and gorgeous.

The flower in the front is feedsack.

Rafia

I'm pretty excited about this little experiment, I got wind of Sophie Digard using rafia for a new range of summer accessories, and thought I might have a go at it myself...keeping in mind I have absolutely no idea of what her new stuff looks like. Any way, I'm not too sure of this, only that I find it interesting....and really fun to do.

new shop and etsy!

Finally, I got back on the computer after all these weeks!

I have a new shop called The Artist is Home, 77 Main St and it's in Beeac. Victoria. I have some brooches there, and some knitware I've been experimenting with.
