Velma at the Art Gallery
I returned from Melbourne and the Grampians just over a week ago
Had a market the day after I returned
and taught a workshop in my studio
a couple of days after that
and finally I get to this bit
My best friend Naomi
I was lucky enough to spend
a few days in Melbourne
with Velma and Naomi
before heading off to the Grampians
A Bee on the sidewalk
outside Federation Square
I taught a 2 day Natural Dye Class
where explored many things including
dyeing teabags
and some people did some
rusting
and embossing
And a very nice display table we ended up with
Lovely leaf prints on a tea bag
Then I taught a 4 day
Natural Mixed Media class
No time for Photos
so these are all from the display table
we had fun with paint, ink and wax
A some more dyeing but paper this time
and we made books
It was a wonderful few days
and all my students were marvelous
Since getting back home I have spent
some time in the studio
These are small 10 x10cm pieces
Some of which will be off to Ballarat
with me
where I will be lucky enough this time
to be a student
with the lovely
Elizabeth Bunsen
works on paper
experimenting with wax

still loving the time we spent together: happy hours looking at art, talking about life the universe and everything, you being so reasonable and me freaking out about the huntsman. off you go so soon!
Ah Velma, it was a lot of fun. Hoping I can get it together to come and play at your place just need a workshop to teach and I am there. Just hope your huntsman don't carry guns!!! x te
Your 'experiments' would be my 'art' Trace. Lovely stuff.
Lovely to see your photos after reading about your trip on Velma's blog.

Just beautiful, Trace. I especially love the leaf prints on the tea bags, so lovely and so delicate. Sounds like you've been having fun!
