Gathering... Creating

Recently I went to the Gather :: Create workshop organised by Ellie at Petalplum and Leah 
from Sang the Bird. What a buzzing day of fabulous creativity! 



The morning session was entitled Unfurl by Alex Falkiner where we learned how to make 
rope from fabric scraps.





What an incredible process this is! So simple and yet with such possibilities for 
experimentation and application. My example isn't that amazing, but there were some 
fabulous pieces created on the day below :)





The afternoon session, Poetic Collage, was held by Karina Sharpe. Here we were 
encouraged to combine disparate images to tell a story. My addition to this amazingly 
talented group was a bit so-so as well, but I was determined not to get stuck on some kind 
of perfectionist loop and to just let myself experiment... if that makes sense ;) 

This is my piece where I was thinking about dementia...



So good to learn new methods and process... clearing the mind and opening it to new things 
at the same time :) Thanks so much to everyone involved. x

Lovely day...


Had a great day today... so lovely to get out of the house :) I went to GOMA with 
 Mady from Abundance and we had a ball! I feel like I've been on holiday. We went 
to the Spanish Masters Exhibition from the Prado in Madrid.. so think loads of Goyas 
and Velasquez paintings ;) It was a strictly no photography event, so I have none to
show I'm afraid... but we did have a fantastic tapas lunch to the strummings of a
classical guitarist.

We also went to the New Media Art Awards exhibition and saw some incredible 
pieces. The ones below are by Karen Casey and Leigh Heiss.



And we came out into the sunshine to find an amazing blanket of stripey 
clouds over Southbank and the City.




Hope you had a great day too :)

Le Tour

We are crazy about the Tour de France in this household. So excited it starts tonight!


There'll be a lot of late late nights over the next couple of weeks, but that's 
also plenty of crochet time too! ;) Are you crazy for the Tour too?
