My seagulls are hanging out in Port Melbourne.
Toyota

They now have new owners.

Make Yourself at Home

Brendan Huntely. Oh wow. How bad do I want one?... My favourites were long gone.

Halloween

Mum and I got invited to Denise's 40th Birthday Halloween Party. I whipped my costume together in 40 mins. I think it freaked out some of the kiddies. Some cool dance moves by kids on the dancefloor.

Open now

80's Vintage only.

Try again...

Cups do explode when you don't get the airbubbles out and too much paper in paper clay makes it shrink too much. Oh well, try again.

The Young Prince

Wow...

Design Made Trade

It was super lovely sharing a temporary studio space as part of the Design Festival, Design Made Trade, Craft Victoria Open Studios with specifically the lovely and talented Milly Flemming, Elizabeth Yong and Nicholas Jones. Thanks to all the people who chatted and said hi. It was amazing to have the Royal Exhibition Building as a makeshift studio for those four days. I especially enjoyed meeting all the other craft practitioners and making some new friends.

Terrazzo

I am housesitting a lovely house at the moment with an awesome cat called Pablo. I think he likes the terrazzo floor as much as I do. Both Pablo's triangle marked nose area and the floor are inspiring new pieces for me. I am going to mix the pebble mix crystals with some of my paper clay...

Paper clay

I have been playing around with something called paper clay. You make paper pulp and mix it into your clay and it is meant to make it stronger, lighter and easier to work with. Messy process to match my messy workspace!

I was too impatient with my Pyramid though. His mouth led to his downfall and he is now a sloppy ball again ready to be re made. I thought I'd like to capture his brief existence.
