I've been selected to exhibit five of my handmade brooches for PIN X (PIN 10) at ANCA (Australian National Capital Artists Inc.) gallery in September. I've been making textile-based brooches for a little while now, selling them on my Etsy under PEURL Designs. The opportunity to be able to exhibit alongside fellow wearable-art makers is really exciting, and I'm looking forward to seeing my work in a gallery context.

Queen of the Skies and late to depart, I caught her climbing out of YSSY, Sydney's International Airport, for a quick hop to Melbourne, then Toowoomba, and on to Hong Kong International (the hub of the aircraft). A few spotters waited for her at Shep's Mound, a dedicated area east of the airfield. Didn't take much on the roll either! Her Highness makes her way.

Well, as much as I can say so, my textile artist book, Hold Hands Spring Tide, is done. I've needled the pages, met the bindings, embedded trinkets and entrusted fragments. All that is left is delivery to Artspace Mackay for the Libris Awards. It's going to be hard to let it go!
