Another Month!! Time is definitely flying!!

It is almost a month since my last post. Not a lot has happened  but I have found some old works to put into a show called the Art of Again. It is about recycling and using that in our art. 

I have not made new pieces, I have used ones that I have made previously but that I think will fit the bill - they use scraps of fabric to make something new. 

The exhibition will be at Strathdon House, 449-465 Springvale Rd, Forest Hill. 

I'm not certain of the open days, it may only be Thursday to Sunday and be for two weeks. I don't have to help with sitting in the exhibition so I am not certain of the times. But I will definitely visit it. 

I am not sure that there will be room for all that I have put in so I'll have to wait and see. 

I have done my horse fabric collage, my Making Waves one and a couple of small experimental pieces as well as my Ro Bruhn fabric book that I recently finished.  (I just looked it up and when I did the workshop, it was 2021!! I have worked on it recently to complete the book.)


I could only find a picture of it in progress - but it gives you the idea. The sky is made using an old blouse of mine that has been used in other works too. 



By the way - it is 22/3/25. My inspiration for posting today!

30/6/24 the end of the financial year!

 We have been inundated with EOFY sales lately - some are being extended into the new financial year - lucky us.

As I wrote the date this morning, in my morning journal, I noticed that 30 - 6 = 24. I think it is the first subtraction I have done with dates - how exciting!!

Anyway, since it is such an interesting day, I thought I had better post. 

I have a photo from a week or so ago. It was a cold and foggy morning and I saw a lovely spider web. 


Winter is upon us - I did read that it is the driest start to winter we have had here for a few years (they quoted as far back as 2017! (I think I must be getting old - that doesn't actually seem that far back!)

But we had snowfall in the mountains, so people will be happy if they have gone to ski in the school holidays. 

I went away for a few days last week and walked my favourite trail - the Aqueduct trail above Warburton. I saw this amazing fungus growing on a fallen tree. 


I have managed to do a little bit more on my Making Waves piece - all hand embroidery, so I am being rather slow. It doesn't look all that different but I'll post anyway.
