It’s Tuesday…yes, studio day! (even though I spent a fair bit of time in their yesterday). This is total play day today. I’m actually feeling a bit yuk so just had half a day but considering it started at 5.30am I think we can count that a full day! Ok enough of that…what did I…
The lovely Malgorzata (Gosia) contacted me quite a while ago and asked if I wanted to try some of her silkscreens and finally I’ve had a bit of time free to sit and play…and wow do I love them. The tribal pattern and faces are some of my favourites and they are exactly what I…

Well I’m back in Melbourne – woohoo!! 3 days of exciting workshops at The Whimsical Bead with the oh-so gorgeous Dani Rapinett. Day 1 and day 3 was the Pebeo, Plastics and Polymer Clay workshop. We played with all sorts of goodies during these days and I have to say, some of the students creations…
