Well, it really has been a busy couple of weeks! For those of you who follow me on
Facebook you'll have some idea of what is going on; for those of you who don't... you should ;)
So, a bit of a catch up:
Today I handed in my submission for the
Reverse Garbage end of year exhibition "I Heart Handmade". This one is all about sustainable gift giving. All pieces will be available for under $50 and there are about 15 different Brisbane artists work's on show and available for purchase throughout the night, there will be the usual beverages for purchase, live music and free nibbles! Plus all sorts of entertainment and the chance to meet some of the artists exhibiting.
Come along on the opening night to be part of the festivities and for the best pick of the goodies.
The exhibition will be a long running one and will not close until Revere Garbage closes for the holidays on the 24th December.
I also entered the inaugural Mystery Bag Challenge, which I am quite excited about. I was given a sealed paper bag with some hand-picked goodies from Reverse Garbage and had to use every item to come up with a singular or series of gifts for the exhibition. Come along on the night so have a look at them!
Along with the submission the beautiful Rosina asked me to do the photo-shoot for the promotion of the Exhibition. The photo will be printed in colour in the Brisbane MX (free daily city-wide newspaper) some time before the 26th (their words not mine), so pick up a copy and keep an eye out for my ugly mug and the chance to have a sneak peak at my submission.
This may possibly have been in my box for Reverse Garbage:

So that takes us up to the 26th...
From then on; the 3rd, 10th, 17th December I will be at the
West End Twilight Markets on the corner of Wilson and Boundary street. I can have any custom orders put in before the 1st available for pick-up at the market on the 3rd all orders after that all orders will have to wait until the 20th December. I am hoping to have a selection of journals ready for these markets.
"
West End Twilight Markets is a specialty marketplace, featuring an eclectic mix of treasures, tucker and performance.
Open every Saturday, 4pm–9pm. (at) Reclaimed Hangar - Corner of Wilson and Boundary St, West End, Brisbane." - From the West End Twilight Markets website.
The 11th I will be making my debut at the
Kerbside Lane Market from 12 - 5pm.
"Held in the laneway leading down to the back of the bar off Ann street, the markets showcase local art, design and handmade & vintage clothing ...and accessories. Market goers can expect up to 15 stalls from creative stall-holders. With some great local music to entertain you throughout the day. The market is free entry and open to all ages." - from the Kerbside Lane Facebook.
In the mean time I am also offering one-on-one beginners sewing classes followed by four project classes throughout the week and on weekends. Sewing machine and materials provided. Please send me an
email to book.*
I think that if I'm not completely exhausted after all of that I may get around to finishing the website, making the shop fully functional and adding all of Yun's photographs along with coming up with some new designs.
On that note; what would you like to see me bring out in the new year?
*Due to some inconsiderate cancellations (after class was supposed to begin), you will be required to put down a small non-refundable deposit.
