I am in Print, People.

 I love Art Quill Studio's blog.

It has became a veritable oasis of knowledge for me; augmenting

the textile theory lessons at the chalkface.

Marie-Therese, an academic posts most Saturdays, early, and I

always seemed to read her posts when my spirits are flagging a little at the end of the

working week. I confess to being a textile tragic, as she does.
Marie-Therese is also a co-editor at Textile Fibre Forum magazine.

One day I hope to meet her.
She found me via the enthusiastic comments I would leave on her blog.
I meant every word.

She invited me to be in an edition of Textile Fibre Forum.
My friend J, came over and shot the high-resolution photos.
That was the day the light-box bath-tub got the flick.

My article is a nod to fashioning fleurs from thermoplastic fabrics.
I am a cover-girl, well, just inside it anyway.

I would be lying to say I am not chuffed.

Thank you, Textile Fibre Forum, it is an absolute thrill to be in the magazine.

I will be getting a subscription.



Flora: Life Cycle

 In a parallel universe I am not a creative type.

I go to work accordingly.

But do no more.

I vacuum politely on Saturday mornings.

Then do my laundry.

I do not spend my time despairing about thread, fibres, dye stains, and piles of

'I might just use that'.

Taking up space.

 I do not place things 'in-situ' and then try to

work out for the next day or two, what else to do?

Luckily, these thought are fleeting because Flora's had more press.

A nod. Positive affirmation.

Another shoot, thank you.

In Brisbane's Q Weekend fashion editorial.

A kindred spirit's stylish eye was caught on a piece of frippery at The Hat Box.

Brisbane's supplier of the loveliest objet d'art in tonsure fashion only.

It's a lovely little veiled velvet rose.

Here's the piece in editorial splendour.

 Stay enthused.
