Well, hello there Bertha! It’s been a while since I’ve worked on this tapestry … winter is a busy time, with Bowerbird, restocking my suppliers, and generally being a great time of year for lovely scarves! :D But now I’m back to balancing my tapestry with my handweaving, and this long weekend has been all about swapping between them, as well as some candle making! In fact, the theme of June for me is BALANCE … how about you, are you good at balance?

Here they are - I brought them into the gallery on the weekend, and the general consensus was to lean them against the wall!Also, everyone who entered my studio laughed at them … so I consider that a WIN!We have a group exhibition called ‘The Haunting: 5 Years of Collective Haunt’ - I’d love to see you there, the exhibition is on until 15 July :)Bringing together studio artists from Collective Haunt, as well as some of our friends, it is a great exhibition, intended as a one-stop-shop for all your art shopping needs :DYou’ll find my Queeriosities for sale there,...

Well, I’ve learnt a lesson!So, I’ve been talking about wearing what makes you feel good, and the colours you love, and getting out of your comfort zone.Well, last week I bought this HOT PINK LIPSTICK!’So what?’ you may be thinking. But after my fave lippy was discontinued (shout out to gemma), I needed to find a new one, and I realised that I had been playing safe.I’m one of those people who only has 1 lipstick … yeah, crazy! And I’m not a ‘red lipstick’ person at all (it’s not my colour!). So I thought … what about hot pink?...

I couldn’t resist! :D Usually my warps are just black … but this one deserved its own photo!Trust me, it’s just as delicious after weaving too.  You can find the finished product HERE!
