New things of from old things


Working on some new dresses, pants etc. for shipshap at the mo.
I have had this dress in the cupboard for many years, I had only worn it a couple of times and still love the material. But not in a dress for me, so I have cut it up and am using it as trim on my little girl dresses. Yet to take photos of these new items, but will soon.

Am I Arty Enough?


I found this new artists market in today's 'The Age', it's at a place called 'the substation' and is on the 1st Saturday of each month in Newport, Melbourne. Am keen to go and check it out, might have time this arvo but it is already 12.41pm and it closes at 4pm. I might be even more keen to have a stall. But, am I arty enough? I think I could be, as the items above include screen printing, patchwork and patching (not sure what you call that, but I am talking about the little dress above with a patch on the front with lace bordering each side). Anyway, keen to do a few markets soon, I did not get a spot at incube8r (see prev. post) and they are quite fun.
