We went to the #GertrudeStreetProjectionFestival last Thursday night. Chilly but dry and very little wind. Interesting to see the various illuminations and had excellent pizza at #Ladro’s. My favourite was the Gamberi – prawn with a tiny bit of chilli and lots of garlic.

Australian Tapestry Workshop
Beautiful work underway at the Australian Tapestry Workshop in South Melbourne. The palette of colours they have to choose from is amazing. Fantastic to watch the work in progress.
The Hand Embroidery of Textile Artist Gilda Baron
Beautiful textile work by Bozena Wojtaszek
I have just come across the lovely work of Polish textile artist Bozena Wojtaszek. Bozena lives in Poland and creates gorgeous art quilts. I love the way she starts with scraps of material to create such beautiful work. She says her quilts are a contemporary way to involve art in everyday life, to let it into our houses, on the tables. Her creations are mostly inspired by the charm of small things and are made to give the same feeling of beauty. I really like the way she uses a mixture of hand and machine sewing in her works.
Her blog is called Textile Cuisine where you can go and see more of her work and she also has an Etsy shop
You can see her at work on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLYCttICZ-I.
Top Design
Out and about in Melbourne on a lovely sunny Monday visiting #TopDesigns at #MelbourneMuseum. From solar powered vehicles, fashion, food and product design to great photography and work books. The amazing up and coming talent from Victorian high schools. Shame we weren’t offered some of these fantastic subjects when I was at school! I would have loved to try to create anything half as good.
