Made with love....

Well my sister Lee didnt get Easter Eggs from me this year.... instead I made her one of my Klimt dolls. Lots of minute stitching, all stitched with love. It is so nice that Lee likes my art dolls, so I wanted her to have one made especially for her. This close up one shows some of the stitching and little flower sequins she has for cheeks. Below, the full view.
I recently took a trip to Sydney with my dear friend Jenni. As an early birthday present we went to the Sydney Opera House to see "Madama Butterfly". Lovely to experience my first visit to the opera at the Sydney Opera House. Always on the look out for art I noticed this street art/graffiti on our taxi ride from the airport.... thought you might like to see it too, I thought it was fabulous!!! Click for a closer look (sorry, took the photo through the window).

My sister and her family visited me for Easter (lucky me.... my brother-in-law is renovating my ensuite for me!!!). While they were visiting we took a trip down to Yarragon Village and I found this beautiful little wooden trivet below, which I was told was once a printing block. I loved it, so bought it for myself for Easter. I love the hint of green paint..... maybe I will have a play around with it myself and try some printing?

These gorgeous fabrics, threads and wools were gifted to me in a package from Keron Lee

Dont you just love the beautiful colours? Keron is hand dyeing lots of textiles in scrummy colours. She has opened an etsy store urbandriftwood.etsy.com if you want to take a look.

Well that was my Easter.... Lovely time with family and friends, just as it should be.
