Street Art

I took another group of students to see Melbourne's street art.

Apples Boxes and Barrels

St Andrew's Market

Last Saturday, I got up at the crack of dawn with my brother and his girlfriend to sell my Japanese goodies.

I was selling my prints pouches and magnets.


And some fabric and kokeshi dolls.

I'll be back there in March to sell a larger range of Kokeshi dolls.

Piano

Piano Dismantling

Jo invited a few of us over for the "Piano Dismantling For Arts Sake" on Sunday.

We all got excited and took photos as the piano was rolled out...

and was slowly taken apart..

into tiny pieces!

Sketch Wednesday

I'm drawing again..

For some reason, I like drawing faces. However, I need MORE practice drawing bodies.

Usually, I just begin drawing which results in a face appearing on paper. But this time I found some models to use instead.
(Thanks to Google images)

Now I just need to make some tags for them.

Gippsland Day Trip: Wabi Sabi Houses

Gippsland Day Trip

We did a bit of a self drive food tour around Gippsland today.

Our first stop was Clearview Farm. From the information I found here, the place had a restaurant, free range poultry and grew organic apples...when we arrived, we found out that was four years ago. Now, the place is just a B&B. However, the owners were nice enough to let us walk around their property.

As we walked around exploring the farm, we made a friend with a cat who followed us everywhere...The cat was so cute and affectionate that I wanted to take it home.

Our next stop was Sunny Creek Fruit and Berry Farm, which grows and sells organic berries and Jams. I purchased two kilos of berries. Can you guess what I'm going to make with them...? JAM!!! That should keep me busy tomorrow.

Lastly, we went to visit a cheese deli/restaurant, only to find it had changed hands and was now a Spanish themed restaurant.

Despite a mostly cloudy day, we saw some truly beautiful scenery. It was also nice to do something different for a change.
