Does Art Matter? …Is the question Benjamin Tupas, a producer for ABC Open posited to artists recently about the creation of art in Toowoomba in the article Art Matters.

Short film ‘Toy Shelf’ for Brief Encounters Toowoomba
Short film for Brief Encounters Toowoomba, called ‘Toy Shelf’ This short film is strange without context, so let me set you up a little; it plays at the start of our show, then the stage lights up and it is a life sized version of a work bench. There are novelty oversized erasers, needles, pincushions,

Amigurumi and Fair Isle crochet – the latest ideas
Amigurumi and Fair Isle crocheting have been two crochet techniques I have enjoyed working on for about the last month.

Then I properly learned the technique for Fair Isle

Zine workshop results
Zine workshop I was supposed to post about the results from this event awhile back. Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes and I am certainly behind on writing about some recent artist events. Today I am also celebrating having access to a computer again! I haven’t had one for the last couple of weeks

Crocheting recently
Crocheting recently has been a hit and miss deal. I’m in the preparation stage, and I’m still hitting my stride working out these floral details.

Creative Tanks
In last week’s post I briefly mentioned the Creative Tanks event that was occurring for the Carnival of Flowers this month. I was also involved in the Creative Tanks event last year. It’s strangely nostaglic to be completing the same event, thinking about where I was twelve months ago. For 2011, I certainly wasn’t in

The manager, the artist, the all of it
The last few weeks have been busy. So busy, in fact, that I’ve really got to keep on making works. This will hopefully be a quick post, where I will recap on some recent interesting events and discuss what’s on the horizon. Past:So, I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in not one, but two documentary
