Beanbag bomba
Paper storage facilities also work for textiles! Something I have started to run with recently is freeform crochet. I haven’t done much research into freeform crocheting artists yet, but what I have seen I have really liked. I wouldn’t say you were making it up as you go along but… I think that

I’m in…
Really excited to start my first week of artist residency at theGRID hybrid arts collective space. Oh no! Just kidding! I have been sitting on these images for months. It looks like this now: Our room! Classy couches (don’t look closer) Best desk. Needs tabletop? Quapoor has moved his drawings in… A table with blackboard

Leading up to the woolbombing
On Wednesday last week I began the afternoon sessions leading up to International Yarn Bombing Day. Things have started off slowly, for everyone else.

Hopefully this ‘celebration’ of sorts will occur during this week. Until then, I’ve been taking a break from

At the end of February; update on theGRID
Bit later than I was expecting, a quick post about the supplies I have generated going into March. Currently, theGRID is projected to be finished midway through this month, and I will simply keep going. I don’t think it is possible to have too many supplies for this project. Felting/felt supplies All the felt, crochet

Adventures in Papergirl: A discovery of B-sides
Somewhere in the beginning of February, made. Creative Space [sic] put out a call-out for yet another fantastic project (and believe me, there are several). It was Papergirl! And I was intrigued by the concept of exhibition + free and randomised distribution of artworks + bicycles. At the end of February, I hadn’t gotten many works out for

Another experiment.
Two weeks ago, I hosted a pincushion making workshop for Toowoomba Brown Owls. Everyone was successful in creating their own pincushion; Thanks Melita, for your encouraging words of support.
