...and the creepy baby

going back to melbourne after the crazy 6 days 

of the grampians texture event

was in a way a bit startling.

but very good.

bush to city.

kangaroo poop to sidewalks...

the weather is changing with the turning 

of the season.

anne's knotless netting

sampling meandering of one sort

a very fibery book

book samples

and the results from the ink sticks

meanwhile, there were kangaroos

and emus every morning

at hall's gap

the view

my samples, etc

momogami hands

a new sort of little loom

wet weather and fog following the river

iowa case paper and many layers of ink and xanthorea resin

graciously supplied by trace willens

for the group

a little double weave for a new shifu maker: lovely!

stationers binding in process

book pages

a loom purchased by one of my students

at the trader's "fair"

final show and tell table, 

right before the big dash away from the event

with a few of my students

and visitors, too.

bookish hug

i for one was happy to see some moisture

after the hot and dry days

on the way home,

we had a stop, and op shop, and we went into the weirdest shop ever

all shiny and clean, 

had chai and coffee

and found the egg museum.

hundreds of eggs all dressed up.

culminating in this one.

yes, it was a weird experience.

egg art.
