another Pojagi Scarf


I managed to put together another scarf last week. Creativity has been slow these past couple of weeks - the boring details of life keep getting in the way.
  
 
This one is also for a lovely lady I met in Japan. The original shibori dyed white and turquoise fabric she gave me was apparently VERY old. I wonder what they used to get this strong colour? I have overdyed with a soft light green commercial dye.
 
Of course it's the beautiful hand patching I love so much - I've even starting doing some patching myself - embarrasingly rough compared with the delicate Japanese work which doesn't show through to the front.

LUCKY GIRL #2

I had a phone call last week from a fellow artist I'd had business dealings with many years ago. He invited me to be part of an exciting new gallery - Macchia Gallery in Noosaville, owned and run by architect Frank Macchia - 55 Mary St Noosaville. The gallery is the essence of 'wabi sabi'. It has a wonderful Zen feeling with ancient Japanese and Chinese screens, doors and furniture; and the quintincential mondo and water feature courtyard gardens. It is a beatutiful and serene venue. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect space for my work. I have paintings, jewellery and scarves in the gallery. It should be up and running by Easter, the web site will be put together soon after.
...the feature gallery room with sculptures by Frank Macchia and Chinese 'Ding' vessels by Mark O'Neill.
Here is a selection of the work I am exhibiting... 
'Forest Views'.....
'Landmarks'....
Jewellery...
...and scarves.

I am so grateful for this opportunity. The universe is looking after me.
