Happy birthday to Me

Look what the kids made for me . How cool is this.

Practicing my basket skills

It was such a wonderful early morning I spent some time getting rid of the evil ivy and weaving a shape decorated with some flowers.
I lined the inside with leaves I call "Lambs Ears."
It will not last as you need to dry vines first then rehydrate before weaving. But it is nice for the table.

Therapy Basket Weaving

I had a wonderful day learning the art of vessel making . Everyone created some wonderful baskets and artistic shapes.

Nick suggested I turn it upside down and it is a wonderful vase ( without water!)

Mixed media class with my best mates and mum.

A fun afternoon where we all learnt lots and completed some lovely girlie works of art for grandchildren and nieces. Thanks Julie Ryder. We will be back to learn more.

A successful result

After presenting an art portfolio of drawings, Lino prints, some very average acrylic paintings, fabric textile art and a photographic book , I was offered a position at Australian National University to Study Visual Arts , majoring in Textiles. I seemed be the only person in the family to be nervous and unsure about my possible offer. When I got home the family had put on a wonderful celebration afternoon tea. Thanks guys, you are my biggest supporters!
