Away

Sunrise flying east

Trish Baldwin's display of treasure

I am currently in Melbourne

after leaving home over a week ago

and spending some time in the Blue Mountains

where I taught a two day Datural Dye Workshop

and assisted Trish in a 4 day Encaustic Workkshop

And boy did I have a good time.

So for now I am catching up on correspondence

and working on my next article for Down Under Textiles Magazine

There will also be a little shopping

and some exhibition viewing

before heading north

to Queensland for a Dorothy Caldwell Workshop

Life is good.

Grinning all Over

For those of you left dangling from the last post.

Yes I did win.

and a nice cheque came with the prize

so now I will have spending money

on my imminent trip eastwards.

(UpDate: just got a phone call to say the piece has now been sold)

These are few pictures from the Denmark Market

that I attended yesterday

This has also added a bit more to the spending pot.

I will be leaving for the Bllue Mountains

on Thursday

to attend the Context Art Forum

where I will be co-teaching a 2 day

Natural Dyeworkshop

 with Kirsten Ingemar

then I will be an assistant in the 4 day Encaustic workshop

for Trish Baldwin Seggebruch

Ain't I the lucky one.

But wait theres more.

After a week in Melbourne i get to fly up to Queensland

for a workshop with

Dorothy Caldwell

It is like Heaven on a Stick

and here are some images of the clothes

I have been fast track dyeing

to take with me

tshirts and sleeveless tops

and Socks!!!!!!!!!!

Intriguing

I submitted this piece to the local art show

and Ijust recieved a phone call

suggesting it would be worth my while

attending the opening ceremony.

I will keep you posted.

We have finally secured a flat in town

which makes Dan's work commute much more reasonable.

And no more getting up before 5am!!!

But it does make life a bit tricky

being in town during the week

and home on weekends.

Also makes studio work a littel difficult.

So the usual swings and roundabouts.

Did a market yesterday

wasn't wildly successful

but that may hve been due to the gale force winds

No pics too busy holding on

or we would have ended up in the next town!!!
