I've got a Fun with Fibre Techniques class coming up at
Peg's Pieces at Kirrawee NSW on Sat 29th August http://www.pegspieces.com.au
have a look at the website for times, costs etc as there are a couple of spots still available

we will be making silk paper then making them into bowls

this is a piece of the silk paper

earlier this year I taught a weekend of "fibre fun" at Baccuss Marsh, here are the pieces of silk paper drying in the sun

and the wonderful bowls they produced

hope to see some of you there

a bit of a round up

I've had a busy few weeks since the exhibition, here's a bit of a round up

received an unexpected late xmas present from a friend that I hadn't seen for ages, aren't these bowls gorgeous and these luscious papers in between the bowls will go into the useful box

Wednesday a week and a half ago saw me flying down to Melbourne to work at the Quilt and Craft show, caught up and chatted with lots of new and old friends, taught a daily needle felted flower class and we had a range of wonderful flowers created, but this man and his 2 sleeping kids sat opposite our stand for well over an hour and I couldn't resist anymore and had to get the camera out.

In stead of flying home the next morning after the show I decided to stay in Melb a couple of days as there were 2 Art exhibitions I really wanted to see, Dali and Australian painter John Brack, they were both fabulous in their own right, Dali was dark and full on, were as Brack was light hearted and full of whimsy, 2 totally different artists but 2 very enjoyable exhibitions.


on rising the first morning of the show I discovered the battery had stopped in my watch and without it we were lost as between Cecile and I we had 3 hands on workshops and 1 talk to do on a very tight schedule through out the day so I bought myself a new watch as I wasn't able to get to a jeweler to get a new battery - it's so sparkly it's hard to see the hands but I think it's me don't you think........
