Identification

Identification  Box – which is all about the things and people we identify with, in various ways and including lots of personal symbolism and meaning while at the same time learning some cool techniques!!

And the Dream Journal – on the first day we create our handmade journal from scratch and on the second day we will be art journaling on the pages with a variety of mediums and supplies, and play with colours and vibrancy! The journal can be used to record dreams, ideas, or anything you like!

Thanks Sallianne and Ellen for this awesome opportunity.. Even though it is still a long time away, I’m looking forward to Sydney in March 2012!

new works – playtime :)

 

 

The other day I played with some Tim Holtz configuration boxes and had lots of fun ‘writing’ out my story in this way, using a lot of personal symbols..  Then it turned into a class sample and I believe the first workshop is almost booked out, so we will most likely arrange for another one, maybe in September. See on the right there for details

Oka. Oka. You are amazing. Such talent here in Australia.. Thank you for a most amazing gig.. I realised tonight how much I actually enjoy live music, people having fun creating their sounds and after not going many places for a long while I am loving it, enjoying every minute! T0morrow night they are live at Mojo’s.. so if you are around here.. GO!

Ok.. one more image…

 

 

Art is.. YOU

So very very excited to be part of this inspiring and creative event, in March 2012!

Art is.. YOU!

 

Details of the different workshops will be online this week.. but you can sign up for early registration and info..

I was actually thinking of moving my blog back to typepad.. but for now I’ll leave this one open, as this is the one linked in different places..

 

 

Sigh. Deep deep sigh. You know how you sometimes just need to expel air from the body? Yeah. That’s what I feel like. So much has been going on in my life and I haven’t had the time to do anything with my blog whatsoever. In the larger scheme of things what has been going on in my world is tiny compared to what others go through, but it seems that massive changes have occurred here, which shows once again, everything is relative and strongly influenced by our individual perspectives.

After a break of a good few years I have started work again at Scraptivate. The above picture is one of the Inspired Tree which I will be teaching over a course of a couple of weeks, 3 workshops in total. Next week 30/03 and 02/04 I’ll teach an Art Journal class {if you’re interested, call 9444 6626}. For me it is interesting being back in the ‘workforce’ after such a long break and mainly working for myself, but in all honesty  I am really enjoying it!

I love how things start falling together as soon as the right choices are made. All a confirmation that the chaos of the last couple of months has been worth it.

Synchronicity..

silence

While I’ve got a minute, I quickly wanted to share another page out of my recent journal..

And then have a look at what my dear friend Lynne has been up to

I just got back from 5 days Brisbane and fell in love (once again, just like 10 years ago!) with the Sunshine Coast. I stayed with a lovely girl in Melaney and it is so very lush, green, wet, hilly up there. Everything Perth is not! Fruit and veggies grow like crazy and how I loved the fresh pineapple, papaya and bananas at the market..  Anyway; back home now and I enjoy that too It looks like I’ll be here for a while now, I don’t have any travels planned but then again.. you never know!

I have not been sleeping very well lately and feel quite tired. I might have just half an hour or so for a nap before picking up the girls from school.. Mm sounds tempting..
