Thinking pink....

"I adore that pink! It's the navy blue of India,"

Diana Vreeland

LEFT "Tickled Pink" & RIGHT "Pink perfection" by Sai-Wai Foo

I am taking part in "Think Pink" a group show at the Firestation Print Studio in Armadale. The theme is anything to do with pink.

The show will be raising funds for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) from 22nd October to 4th November. It is being run in partnership with the Pink Lady Art Exhibition (see link for previous blog post) The official opening is on Saturday the 27th of October from 10am to 12pm - morning tea!

I have 3 pieces in the show and again fabulous birds are the subject matter, this time a pair of flamingos and a very over the top parrot!

"her signature colour was pink..."by Sai-Wai Foo

I have always had a fondness for pink. To quote Shelby from Steel Magnolias "pink is my signature colour..." It's a film that can still reduce me to a quivering sobbing heap! If you haven't seen it do there's lots of big hair, southern accents, Dolly Parton, a bleeding armadillo cake & Shirley MacLaine is awesomely grumpy.

Truvy: What are your colors, Shelby?
Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful."
M'Lynn: Her colors are "pink" and pink."
Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful" Mama!
M'Lynn: How precious is this weddin' gonna get, I ask you?

Open Drawer - New Stockist

Hope everyone has been staying warm and snuggly in this rather gloomy and cold weather. One ray of sunshine in my day was delivering some goodies to a new stockist! I've just dropped off a whole lot of work to Open Drawer it's an Artist Made Gift Gallery, Art Gallery, Textile Supplies and Workshops.

Really excited about this as I love the store concept. It's a cave of crafty goodness which extends from the shop front, to little sitting/library area, the art and sewing studios out the back and the upstairs gallery space. Besides the lovely ladies that run the store Prue & Robyn are an utter scream and give the best hugs!

Pop by and see the store, its a great place to pick up yarn and supplies - the button lady stocks her amazing vintage buttons here too. Also I will hopefully put something together to teach a workshop or two in the near future!

Stay Warm
