Red Door Bakery

The artwork that I had produced in January for Bridgewater Mill has now found a new home for the next few weeks at the popular Red Door bakery on Queen St. It will also be moved to the King William branch soon! Thanks to Kiel and Emma for giving it a place to stay...

The Cook's Candy themed Party!

I have finally found some photos of the work that I did for the Cook's family birthday party just over a year ago! Oops! I have recently been asked to do some more party props and planning for them for their daughters birthday party next month with the theme 'Alice in Wonderland'. The theme for the party pictured below was 'Candy Land'! I really enjoyed the task.... something a bit different from the norm!...

Giant 3D candy!

Workshop Launch - a few pics.....

Some pics of pieces from my new collection, I did reuse my necklace though from my previous  project because it went so well with the outfit and I didn't want to waste them! I wanted to make it more commercially viable and also attempted pattern cutting and making for the first time which I really enjoyed ... A little bit quicker than crocheting a whole project! I want to make some more pieces before the photoshoot hopefully. I really enjoyed the tie dying though....

Workshop New collections Launch

Here is a little snap shot from the 5000 website of Wednesday night when we had our new collection launch catwalk show at Workshop for the Fringe. The shop transformed into an amazing runway space that looked really professional and edgy... I presented a few pieces from my latest collection which is inspired by my India travels! I plan on adding a few more pieces to the collection before I do my photoshoot late march as tie-dying takes a lot of work but I loved getting my hands messy! 

                 

Bridgewater Mill Exhibition

In the early new year I was asked by prominent SA curator Karen Paris to take part in one of the many exhibitions being held as part of Adelaide's Crush Festival, this one in particular at Bridgewater Mill, Petaluma. I ended up producing this set of 3 textile wall hangings based on seed dispersion and the natural patterns created... the pieces have now been moved to the Red Poles gallery at McLaren Vale. I really enjoyed producing these art pieces, a project that was a little different from the normal fashion and jewellery ranges. Karen is also a fantastic connection as I am already signed up to do another show in August before I go off on my travels....

Ten by Ten

A recent exhibition of ours presented by Paper String Plastic and curated by Dave Court of which I also  produced some work for as seen below. Held at Point A gallery in Gunston St, Adelaide, the theme of the exhibition was films, each artist producing a 10x10 inch piece based upon a scene or narrative, all money made being donated to charity.

My hand cross stitch piece was based on The Shawshank Redemption, from some poignant narrative by Big Red, Morgan Freemans' character. The cross stitch also refers to a piece in the film.
