its been a while. and lordy i have been busy.
ive been painting up a storm which was my intention.
my wee family have just arrive back from our road trip to
Queensland. for those out of australia thats 4 days of driving.
i tell you its me at my happiest. popped into woodford folk festival.
and then up to the mountains to stay with family.
on the way back home our starter motor stopped. we spent 3 hours
in a road house dinner. aside from the bunk beds in the cabin we stayed in
overnight i think it was the highlight of claude and martas holiday.
so back to my studio i go. paint brushes ready
im out of here....im sure thats not such a suprise cause hell i hardly ever blog.
actually it was my break from blogging that did it.
the news is that i just recieved a mentorship to write and illustrate a childrens book.
i feel like the luckiest person in the whole wide world and want to give it my all.
which is truely only half cause somedays its my children that take my all....
ive chose martine murray as my mentor and if you havnt read her books for young
adults then get yourself to a bookshop now.
now trust that i will still be hovering around everyones site and if the book thing
works ill let you all know via the blog grapevine
see you
its been a sewing frenzie over here and i can sence its about to end, i havnt picked up a paint brush for a few weeks.....
its time to get back to my desk.
if your in melbourne im going to donate a painting to CERES auction....ive yet to paint it but it will be there and up for sale all money goes to ceres.
yep time to get back to my desk....
busy busy busy...yep too cold for short skirts...its long pants and gum boot weather (or gumboot dancing if that too takes your fancy)
i cant say i whipped them up but atleast i can say there done... and my prize is a little bit of show and tell
the prints are gocco prints the girls and i did two months ago... yep all that fabric has been hanging around, filling up cardboard boxs and adding to that look of general clutter.... so no pennies spent on this little project and have chipped away at some of that crap that fills up my work space
