I almost forgot to mention, I'm only going to be selling my calendars until the end of January. So after Sunday they will disappear, if you are interested in nabbing one please hop over here:
Also, I have been drawing while also trying to teach myself how to use my camera. Therefore work in progress shots are go. These pieces are approximately 40cm x 60cm so are impossible to scan, hence CAMERA CLASS 101...

Some work in progress, I would like to have three pieces finished by the end of the week. I've got some embroideries planned and I'm doing away with large areas of white space for the minute. Which means I'm going to draw right to the edge of the page... oh brave new world.

I got a little carried away on ebay recently. I never seem to win anything so I absentmindedly placed a few bids here and there forgetting that it was serious money, not play money at the end of the day. It luckily turned out okay, there weren't many other bidders around, and I am now the owner of two beautiful huge handmade textiles traveling to me all the way from Uzbekistan.
I'm in love with Tracey Emin big time. I saw her talk once at the Art Gallery of NSW when I was a baby art student and I was smitten. I'm thinking about some embroideries for my next show and I just happened to stumble on this article from a 2002 issue of Craft Arts International.
I'm working on some new drawings, big ones (excuse my dark, late night photos). Paper quilted clothing that takes a lot of time...
Andy and I both have exhibitions coming up in March, so right now I'm looking over his shoulder and pinching his ideas... take a look at these fantastic characters:
