A Bit Of Indigo

I love the colour indigo……such a dark mysterious blue!
My latest piece is painted mostly in indigo, with a bit of white and flesh colour thrown in. But the overall mood is indigo: Mood Indigo.

A Little Designing

I've made quite a few of these little children in animal outfits - just rabbits and hedgehogs so far. I've also taught a few classes to show people how to make their own. Now I've been designing a few more variations…..the fox will be next.

Contemporary Craft Retreat

Next month I'll be heading off to Canberra for the Contemporary Craft Retreat where I have two classes over three days. In the two-day class the students will be tackling something like this:

It's a fairly challenging project, but with pre-sewn bodies and pre-made head blanks, they should be able to get it done in the two days. 

The other class is a little less challenging - a one-day class to make a "Sukeshi" doll. There might still be places in a few of the classes if you're quick!

New Work

Oh, my poor sadly-negected blog! I promise to give you more attention from now on.
The truth is, I've been somewhat preoccupied with getting my new old home at least comfortably liveable and time has been limited. But I've still been working, because I must, so here is a taste of what I've been making in recent weeks. And the forty-third moon!
Oh yes - I've started a new blog, as well, dedicated to my journey in getting my house renovated with a strict budget - you might like to check it out! http//www.fourteenstepstothebluedoor.blogspot.com
