Makeup for MAEVE mag
The Spring edition of MAEVE magazine has hit the net just hours ago. It is a super issue and contains a fashion shoot by Kate Vale and hair and makeup by yours truly. You can also see some shots up closer here. Speaking of makeup - I have a shiny new website being made and a whole new business identity being created and it will be ready sometime next month!

Winter thus far...
So coping with life for the last 8 weeks or so has been a little bit overwhelming for moi. Keeping busy with a whole heap of ace activity has certainly been of aid in feeding the soul with goodness. I certainly have not been impartial to a bit of work incorporating a bit of beer drinking - and before you begin imagining me drunk in my studio sewing wonky lines into baby dresses - think more like inspiring little talks at the pub by Jo Walker and another night at Craft Victoria by Pip and Gemma (who also feature in the film Making It Handmade screening ONLY on Sunday August 1st in case you didn't know!!).
What else? The show at Outre at the moment is great - Irene Grishin-Selzer (Iggy and LouLou) has on display some amazing limited edition sculptures - 4 more days of exhibition - go see! Mahlie and I also went to Outre for the Street/Studio book launch and had our copy signed by all the artists (Could that event have maybe had something to do with discovering scribbly red pencil artwork on my freshly painted white walls last week...?)
More positive vibes were sent my way have come from lovely studio neighbours who fed me tea and licorice. Market friends giving me a much-needed business pep-talk. And lots of support coming from unexpected people and places which kinda makes me look at the world in a different (and less cynical!) light.
So despite my workload and lack of funds I have booked myself a trip away, bought gig tickets and furnished my new apartment in new homeware (to go with the city view!!).
Oh and I also turned 33.

un-earthed teen
Amongst some recent sorting of personal belongings (due to some pretty epic changes in my personal life) I found this photograph that my friend Amiel Courtin-Wilson took for a school photography project. I'm guessing it would have been 1994 (which would have made me 16 or 17) and it was taken inside the Sun Theatre in Yarraville, which we broke into - like all bored and curious teenagers should - prior to it's restoration.
