100 ENTRIES! + a giveaway!

aw I must say I never once thought I would actually stick with this blogging thing up to 20, let alone 100 entries but there you go!
So, in true blogging style, and seeing as I do have an etsy shop with things to potentially give away, I will.

So if you would like to have your choice of my etsy shop, yes you heard, whatever you would like from my shop (i know it sounds crazy but i have a couple of wines and i'm feeling generous!) you have until Sunday the 5th to leave a comment for me. I want to know your favs for summer treats, be they holiday destinations or purely food related, go to town, because I love summer and the sun that was out today has made me wish summer would hurry up and happen! Bring on the gin and tonics by the ocean and the tan lines!

Happy comment leaving!

Thankyou Camilla and Xani!

I really want one...

It's called a 'sunjar' and is basically a jar with LED lights in it, that are powered by the solar panel on the lid. But damn it's cool looking and I reckon would be the best night light ever, bar none!

Check out more awesome stuff at The Design museum shop in London.

Something More - Opening Night

It was such an amazing, successful evening! Thank you to all who came and supported us and if you missed out, well, here are a couple tasty morsels of the night. These photos are all of the corner my work featured in but never fear, there are far more photos to come. Like I said, these are just a few.

It's on!

I promise I havn't been neglecting this place on purpose, it's just happened out of sheer busy-ness on my part. The frantic panic that has been the last week and a bit to get our group exhibition happening and off the ground has been crazy! But, now that opening night has happened and was such an awesome success I feel I can take a minute {or 40} and take photos, edit them and fill you all in on the happenings of the last couple of weeks that have literally flown by!

So here I am , sitting and guarding our own little show. It's not enough that I'm an art cop by day, on my days off {but only for a couple of days this week admittedly} I am too! It's good though, just me, my computer and a cup of left over orange juice {we started with 12 litres on opening night, 3 days later we still have 6 litres left...I'll say nothing more on the subject!}.

Opening night was a fantastic success though with WAY more people than we could have even imagined showing up and let me just take a moment to say a huge thank you to the rest of our work mates. A lovely show of support from all!! Nearly all of us had sales on the first night and it has only just got more successful.

We're open till Wednesday July 2nd, 10am - 5pm every day so if you're in the Brisbane area why not stop by and say hello... Here are some images of my work in case you can't drop in though.

The trials and tribulations of the doilie project {moulding the doilies}.

This was just plain messy.






The trials and tribulations of the doilie project {step 2}..

I've talked to some people 'in the know' and it has become apparent that a mould was needed for my doilies, to avoid the slumpy outcome of my first attempts. So here they are. It was too messy to photograph the actual process but picture a grown up, sitting on the ground under the house, in her oldest messiest clothes armed with a bottle of water, a butter knife, ipod + speakers blaring and a 10 kilo block of school grade clay. It was an interesting afternoon and I forgot that last time I made clay bowls was probably when I was 10, at primary school and had a teacher help me...it took me a while to get back into it let's just leave it at that...
