Utterly blown away by the breathtaking work of Heather Jansch. Wow.

Walking for the Animals - gypsy wagons in the outback

Just found out about this amazing event from the lovely Leeo at redbubble

She told me about a Romani gypsy named Red Catherine Johns, who is journeying from the Angus Valley in South Australia to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory in her horse-drawn Vardo (Gypsy Caravan) to raise awareness about the mistreatment of animals. Catherine, with two of her companion dogs Lilly and Django will be travelling in her Vardo pulled by her beautiful Clydesdale Tigger.



"A unique journey is being undertaken to promote awareness for all the creatures who share this planet with us. In cooperation-not exploitation""
She is to be joined by a number of other people who will be riding horses, biking or driving along side her in this thoroughly unique adventure.

I really hope it goes well, so please check out the website and spread the word :-)

Handmade in Melbourne

The second "Handmade in Melbourne" book was launched last night, in a gallery packed full of local crafters and creators.
I'm really excited to be a part of this edition (I have a page with a little blurb about myself and my work)
To be part of a community of such awesome, talented folk is really brilliant!
Some other lovely creators who are in the book whose work I very much admire, include Madeleine Stamer of Little circus designs and Betty Jo designs

Lots of in.cube8r crafters were included in this edition, apparently we made up about 40% of the book!
Very cool stuff!
