Busily working away at items for the Entropy Collection, however, as expected I veer off on tangents to try new things......
Driftwood and bones with hemp crocheted details. Two sculptures by Jade Pegler in the middle.
One of my first wonky baskets and a couple of driftwood/crochet pieces.
The Diatom Collection has expanded.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for 2012. I'm back in the studio this week after a visit to Sydney, Christmas celebrations and visitors to my little red house. Feels good.

I found some sketches on various bits of paper around the house. Thought it best to collect and save them. I tend to sketch and write down ideas all over the place, on all sorts of bits of paper. Time to get a bit organized!

Oh!...............My grandparents were pig farmers

2007 is the Chinese Year of the Pig.
I'm busy making some textile collages with this in mind. The pieces will be exhibited at the Robin Gibson Gallery in Sydney in February. They are made from materials I've collected from op shops (clothes, haberdashery, doileys, buttons etc.). I've chosen a palette which I call my Marie Antoinette palette - it consists of a muddy turquoise, orange-pink, grey-blue and muddy putty. The collages are assembled on calico and will be stretched on little frames. They aren't finished yet.....some more piggy details are needed.
A bamboo shoot.
These are the first yoyos I've made(slightly dodgy). I've been so inspired by all the Flickr images of gorgeous yoyos I wanted to make some myself.
I love the poppy fabric in the middle.... it came from a threadbare cushion cover.
I love his strong haunches.
This will have a little pig flying in to land in the tree.
A happy little pig!
5 almost finished, 7 more to go.
