now that it's arrived


i was so pleased with the way i wrapped this swap with a piece of metro blue using only folding and a ribbon - leaving no selvages showing. i was pleased to make the card from scratch using my kaszazz consultant business kit - i'm also chuffed to know the recipient actually wanted the gift - well who wouldn't - it WAS after all the new KALEIDOSCOPE book by melly and me

the other new nurture nappies print


it's a pink and yellow explosion - i think it was called aurora borealis....

3 little guinea pigs


sleeping in a row



we have 3 gp's now - 2 boys (bought and chosen) and 1 girl (adopted) all 3 gorgeous


due to differences in guinea pig opinion we have 3 day enclosures and 3 night enclosures (who thought gp's would attack not only each other but also their owner - wearing a pair of leather motorbike gloves and bruise the palm of his hand mind you)


each has a piece of plumbing pipe - here they are in a row sleeping inside their tubes

front is chloe (we're hoping she's now expecting); next (right) is pom pom (he should be the daddy) and at the back is luther (the quintessential ATTACK guinea pig)


ah pets...

workshop pictures

here's me on the way to the workshop - looking all normal ..... me ... dumb enough to go to a textile event with a known wool allergy and NO anti histamines - to the wonderful ATASDA lady who gave me one of hers i am forever in your debt - should i ever be able to repay you please let me know...







teacher and artist extraordinare - sharyn hall.... having never known i walk past some of her work regularly at the kenmore shops.... what a wonderful teacher, skilled artisan and sweet sweet woman !!!!





CHEEKY!!!! who me???? yes i was ready for sharyn's first demonstration and yes i was ready with a sharpie for her signature.... no points for guessing what 3 items will be framed and hung on the wall of the studio at the new house when it finally arrives!!!!!


my workspace - before i got going....


and some examples of MY work on the day during the workshop. we used vinyl, perspex, foam and stamps/rubbings with thickened procion dyes (and some paints NOT included in my pics) on natural fibres including cotton, silk and i added some hemp and bamboo to the mix - so if you nappy fabric girls get some new customers from outside the nappying world - well i gave a few stores names/websites out on the day.... so expect some bv buys real soon....
man did i have fun.... i'm thinking this may be MY outlet
