Soothing tired nerves with hand work is a good thing. I'm working beautiful balls of angora and alpaca wool into a something useful. Hopefully....
My quirky 2012 calendars are now available at Mr Kitly. So if you're local (to Melbourne) and would like one pop on by. There is so much beauty in that sweet shop.
Some of my giclee prints are now listed with Fair Artisan. Much goodness abounds there too.
Edible Austin have illustrated a lovely article about zen and food and cooking with a woodblock print of mine called tea in black + white. It brings me a lot of happiness knowing my print is sitting there alongside such wise words.
What are you reading? I'm enjoying 'You'll be Sorry When I'm Dead'. Watching? Bright Star about the poet John Keats and his lover Fanny. Quite a moving tale.
Mizu! What is Marieke Hardy's book like? I always enjoyed her column in the Green Guide. But I couldn't find much pleasure in Bright Star. Aside from the costumes and a entertaining performance by Keats' best friend I was bored-to-tears.
ReplyDeleteAnna - Hardy's book is quite the confessional but it's beautifully written and very entertaining. Ick - couldn't stand Keats' friend Brown in that movie. But I know what you mean, it is a tad slow.
ReplyDeletesounds like a lovely sunday. i liked bright star!! i'm a dag tho. it made me want to sew things by hand.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the stockists and press. i need to check mr kitly out :)
Belinda - the sewing aspect in Bright Star was kind of fab. I was hoping there was going to be more though.
