She disappeared for a while and I found her drawing vignettes of my house.

Silk Shibori Stoles
My latest shibori silk stoles have been selected to be exhibited in the Creative Alchemy exhibition at the Belconnen Arts Centre. The show promises to be quite a visual feast with over 60 works by 40 artists, all responding to the theme 'Creative Alchemy'.
This is my first experience of dying with natural colours, and Ive really enjoyed the process. I quite like that it is non toxic, and can be done in my kitchen at home. I have a feeling this may be the beginning of an adventure as I explore dying with other natural colours.
In conjunction with the Creative Alchemy exhibition, artist of international acclaim Julie Ryder will exhibit her work in Creative Alchemy II. Julie's fascinating work explores the marks made by the chemical reaction of bacteria and moulds which occur between vegetable matter and natural fibres.

National Gallery of Australia Commission

They were printed and delivered last week :)

New Spring Designs
I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'ver vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils.
Daffodils, William Wordsworth 1804

I caught my cat snoozing amongst the flowers that inspired the drawing yesterday - too cute! x

Enlightened Fabrics
A couple of months ago I teamed up with the very clever Jane from Honi and Lemon who transformed my screen printed fabrics into lampshades. Jane breathes new life into lampshades, recycling the frames of old shades and the lamp bases are upcycled too!
This shade with the Lake Burley Griffin scene has made its way to Shop Handmade in Canberra.
Each shade is bespoke, one of a kind and perfect for adding a touch of individuality within a room......
