Prints for Tiny Owl Workshop’s pillow fight hanging on my washing line, they are short stories for a writer’s Literary Vs Genre pillow fight at the Brisbane Writer’s festival, published by Tiny Owl Workshop… on pillows! The prints for the reverse side of the pillow come from my collection of projects, with Upatree Puppetry and other groups.

A Flying Arts trip to Maryborough to facilitate a Shibori and resist dye workshop. Maryborough is a delightful historic town and once was a major port. It has a thriving arts community, and we worked in Gatakers Art Space that has recently become a printmaking studio. It was a workshop exploring resist techniques, and a highlight was mixing an indigo dye bath, watching the cloth change to rich deep blues as it oxidises in the air.
As the Ekka winds arrived on cue, I stayed up late printing neon comets of cabbages and artichokes on gumboots and preparing vegetables for my urban gardenwear outfits in Horti-couture wearable art Parades at Brisbane’s annual agricultural show inspired by Horticulture.

My studio seems haunted at the moment, illustrations for Street Reads dangling across lines, flailing limbs and scarey critters pegged and drying out of harm’s way. Fatima S Hellfisch has added some sinew and gore to the zombies and limbs.

Botanique Art Bazaar is held at the Mt Coo-tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane with a range of botanically inspired artworks, jewellery, fabrics and hand made items at the Richard Randall Art Studio (near the entrance)
My groups made brooches by transfer printing onto porcelain, and some hand printed and dyed silk scarves. Here are some photos of our work in progress.
Some of the work can be seen at Art From the Margins exhibition at Brisbane Institute of Art:
