I wanted some lampshades that reflected the environment in which the shack is situated.We are surrounded by Gum trees, native plants, the river and lake and of course the bird life.I found some interesting cane-based lampshades from Kmart that had white shades.I wasn’t sure I could draw on them, but at about $20 each, I…

From Alice Springs to Uluru.
7.00 am, and we left Alice. It was calm and quiet, and when we stepped out of the door of hotel the air smelled of dew on the grass. It was delicious. I’m aware that there’s been a lot of rain recently, but I don’t think that’s the only reason it’s so green, I remember…
People, Portraits and figures.
This is one of my favourite categories in the show. I absolutely love the image below, I’ve the subtlety, and the execution to of the placement of fabric and the quilting. I’m not taking photos of all the quilts this year, but instead, I wish to study the ones that I really like and find…
Taking images for design.
I’ve not had much time to design over the past few days… but I will add a few images I took at Palo Duro Canyon the other day I look for colour and detail. From this image I can capture colour. The various greens and the purple and off white. I’m using a Sony A4500…

Walk the Souks in Marrakech. – 1
Take a walk with me through the Souk in Marrakech, a photographic tour. We’ve been exposed to so many breathtaking things. Souks, that wind under huge sand coloured buildings lined with colourful things. It’s a maze of brilliant object d’art. But you share the confined spaces with motorbikes, donkeys, horses and hand pushed carts….
A few hours in Narita.
Yesterday, we had a short one day stop over in Japan en route to Bangkok. We were supposed to have a day and a half, but leaving ones passport in a hire car put paid to that unfortunately and rescheduling gave us less time to explore. Traveling from the USA to Bangkok, our fare…
India – Textiles unwound.
On the road in the state of Gujarat. We arrived at Rann Riders late morning yesterday. It’s a resort of sorts because it is close to the wild donkey area and a lake where there is a lot of wildlife. There are no other guests here right now, tourism is down due to a…
