great

What a treat. Thank you Victoria - they are truly special. They will be going up on my wall as soon as I find the right frames for them.

on martha

About ten years ago I discovered Martha, through her decorating books. I really liked her (or her assistants) style and I still do. Its all so clean, polished and perfect, something that was/is clearly lacking in my life. I don’t think I was ever sucked in by the dream factory but does have some bearing on me. For example I bought this book. It was a buck fifty. I don’t entertain… it makes me tense. But one day I might and that one day I want to entertain like Martha because it looks like a happy day. I see no Smiths chips in her bowls or double dipping going on in this baby.

This is my Martha influenced wall of love of my family. The influence is the black frames BTW. My camera is dying a slow death, so scusi with the pics. It was a driving force to collect these frames over the years from the O.S, then the irony was that Spotlight started selling her brand frames and I ended up with some of them on the wall! Oh the bloody irony. I doubt if my life could get any deeper or meaningfuller.

I could give my opinion on her show but I will save that for another day.

try

I’ve been making a few things. I am going to try and sell some at the local markets this month. Don’t know how well they will fare, but I will give it a go. Instead of spending money there I will try and make some.

Speaking of the markets this is what I got there last month. I got all hyper blinded when I bought it - but upon better inspection once at home I fear that I have purchased one of those quilts that is made in India and usually sold through such establishments as Home…I can barely say it…art.
I will justify keeping it by saying I am recycling.

i dont know

These are two printmaking pieces I did as part of an artist book for uni.

They sort of don’t mean anything separately but together they had meaning - well to me they did.
