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.

necklaces and brooches

all available at the geelong gallery @ $38

Geelong gallery has some new necklaces and brooches, just in time for christmas...

these will probably be around $80...maybe a bit less at the Geelong Gallery

pink tea set

available at my shop

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.

Finished vest....bring on the sugar plum

Yay, it's finished!
I hand spun and sewed all these bits together to make this.
It's made from Merino wool I got in Drysdale Vic, vintage sequins and buttons. It would fit a 1-2ish year old girl, great with a stripey t-shirt and jeans...mmm I wish I was little enough to wear it.
I also had to make the little form under neath it. I was lying awake the other night, trying to figure out how to make something that wasn't spooky for a mannequin, I decided on the squishy pillow look...very formless and ambiguous. Phew, now I'm working on an alpaca vest that might suit a little boy.
So, I have decided to sell this on my etsy shop  go on...have a look.

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.

Also, Etsy! this very afternoon I did it Kitchen Table Studios  re launched on etsy, phew!

geelong gallery

Kitchen Table Studios can now be seen at Geelong Gallery. 5 brooches, in the cabinet, beautifully displayed. Very happy.

New look

I"ve been noodling around with some lino tools and decided that I like this look a little bit more than the collage-y title I had before...I think it will go better with more things.

I will be putting my new brooches in at The Geelong Art Gallery in the next few days too.

I've also psyched myself up to re-launch my Etsy shop. I've got quite a lot of things left over from that market I did a while back, and the things are really nice, but they're not doing anything all wrapped up in boxes in my room are they? No, they're not. So stay tuned.....

New things to see

This is my latest work, Now I'm doing neck ware too.

A start

Well, this is my new thing. I've been making these brooches using all the gorgeous little scraps of fabric I've been collecting. The following brooches are for sale at The Briar Patch at The Wintergarden in Geelong, Vic, Australia

The following brooches are all handmade by me. They retail at about A$38. Most are Japanese silks.

Vintage Plates....mmm

My new vintage plates. I have a meeting tomorrow with a shop, hopefully they would like these.

These are my new bowls, they are quite small. About 8cms across.

I've nearly got a place where you can buy these... Stay tuned.

I know I could put them on ETSY but I really don't want the worry of posting very breakable china....
