Heeeey, my solo exhibition ‘Acknowledge’ is now open at Flinders Medical Centre!This is an exhibition of works that have been influenced or made with x-rays - you know, I have a bit of an obsession :DAppropriately, it is on either side of the Medical Imaging area!Massive thanks to Brigid, Grace, Naomi and Claire - you all do a great job, and bring art and culture to people in a place that is sometimes confronting to visit. I love the blending of both physical and mental wellness that the Arts in Health program provides.My exhibition is up until the end of...

Yes, the Summer Solstice Collection is LIVE on my website! (finally, haha!)I have 4 tapestries that are part of this collection - 2 small ones, 2 large ones, so there are various price points.They will be 20% off for 1 month, until 14 February (Australian time).Also, don’t forget I have Afterpay available on my website, to it easier from a budgeting perspective :DI will tell you more about each one, but let me know which is your favourite!

The word ‘tapestry’ gets misused a LOTTapestry is hand woven, and made on a loom - it’s a fabric made from scratch.If you are stitching on top of another fabric, it is needlepoint, not tapestry.Lately I have seen younger people use term tapestry for crochet and quilting - WTF????I did a whole YouTube video about tapestry vs needlepoint - you can find it HERE :)

OK, I have a confession …I was all set for finishing a commission for a beautiful soul on Sunday.But weaving is not always straightforward.I made ONE error while dressing the loom.Hours later, I still hadn’t noticed.Until - HALF WAY THROUGH THE SCARF! - I thought ‘hmmm, that doesn’t look right’.There was nothing else to do … I cut it off the loom and STARTED AGAIN!It really has to be PERFECT before it gets delivered to YOU ;)You can find all my delicious handwovens here on my website :D
