Plant based paper and the Law

I was recently sent a little handmade book and some handmade paper. The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service 'ordered into quarantine' most of the handmade paper. I have just put a blog post on my personal blog about it. I have cross posted it here as well. I think it is something artists who create with paper and fibres need to keep in mind. I'm sure Australia isn't the only country with… Continue

Back to Booktown again

We drove out to Clunes on Sunday to see the Booktown event - which once again was really fabulous. Book dealers from all over Victoria (and elsewhere including one from Tasmania) take over the main street, the Town Hall, church and school halls and sell their wares. The day had a carnival type atmosphere with food stalls, live music and there were lots of people fossicking for treasures or… Continue

Ready for the show May 9th

I have only one more piece to finish for the show. A small blank book with an antiqued copper cover. I'm not sure how I'm going to secure the block. I suppose I'll figure that out after this evenings bike ride. It is absolutely gorgeous outside today. Sunny and 70 degrees, with a gentle ocean breeze. No one should be indoors!
