Press: Mr X Stitch Blog

Big thanks to Jamie (aka Mr X Stitch) from the Mr X Stitch Contemporary Embroidery and Needlework Blog for his lovely post about my recent work under The Cutting and Stitching edge section. I love this blog so it was a huge honour to be included and I also recently bought Jamie's book Push Stitchery (Picked up in Cooma of all places) which I am hoping to include under my Art Book Inspiration section sometime soon!

Hand Embroidered Bedding

Something I have been meaning to share for a while (2 years) is this hand embroidered pillowcase and sheet set my good friend Katherine designed and had made when she was travelling in India. She gave it to Andy and I as a wedding gift which was AMAZING!

I might just add that I never normally iron sheets and didn't change my ways for this photo shoot but you get the idea!

Annemieke Mein Exhibition

Made the trip down to Brighton with my folks, Andy and Audrey to check out the Annemieke Mein retrospective at the  Bayside Arts & Cultural Centre and it was so inspiring! Not that nature images are totally my thing but the level of skill, experimentation and boundaries she pushed with her textile work was amazing and the sculptural work is so realistic - definitely worth checking out.

I think the exhibition is running from the 3rd March to 22nd April. We weren't allowed to take photo's but here is one I found to give you an idea.

and here are a few more off my mum's iPhone - am finding the iPhone particularly addictive and it's probably a good thing I don't have one.

This post is dedicated to Pamela the Panda - my daughters best friend. Please god don't ever let me loose her! Loved this photo taken by my friend Milly.

Big thank you to Georgia from Frankie Magazine for putting up a post on their blog about the show. Needless to say it was super exciting to see my work up on the Frankie blog! Lucky Otus above got to be the main image for the post.

Am now onto my next big project which will involve some super talented embroidery ladies but can't give anything away yet!

Feminine Realm - Solo Exhibition

While I get a quick chance just wanted to share some images of the works from my current solo exhibition Feminine Realm showing at the Brunswick Street Gallery. Thanks to everyone who came along on opening night I had a great time! More images and process shots to follow soon.

Couple of progress shots for works in the show - only one week to go!
