I’ve never had a sister, but always longed for one, although I’ve heard mixed reviews! I was however gifted 3 brilliantly chosen sister-in-laws and many adored sisters-in-crime! You know who you are!

She’s bold, she’s cheeky, she’s part of the Sisterhood. My latest addition to the Anatomy Series of Greeting Cards - also available in a Choose Your own Family Pack of 4, because Foolhouse believes you CAN choose your own family!

Close up of my assemblage for the 2021 Biblio Art Prize. (Shared StoryTellers Prize Winner) If you’re in Victoria, or near Port Fairy pop in to the gallery and peruse the collection, there is so much inspiration that may lead you to new artwork for your walls or simply a smashing good Australian novel to entertain yourself with over Summer. Speak to Jo, she’ll head you in the right direction @blarneybooksandart

Who knows what this year will hold but I have a few ideas up my sleeve and I’m determined that they see the light of day this year and not get stuck up there with forgotten tissues. Hope you have some determined dreams too.☺️

Life Lesson No. 43 ~ When you buy something handmade online - let the maker know why out of all the gazillion pedaled goods out there, you chose their creation - guaranteed your short story will help build their epic tale. ☺️
Thankyou @trudiblue for your message upon receiving one of my Aged Book Sculpture Pet Portraits and @juliaandbarney for your previous patronage. X

She turned her back on the camera taking the last family photo, fair enough, it’s been that type of year. She was the best offsider, best shadow, best hangover cure, best friend and best in (our) show. Sleep tight Anushka x

I was lucky enough to get custody of these 100 year old books from a customer who had had them in the family for a very long time but whose once lively covers were showing their age. She graciously allowed me to cut whatever shape called to me out of them and once finished she gifted them to her nearest and dearest. They may not shine like the day they were published but their new life as an instant family heirloom and Secret Book Safe will certainly tell a very different and heartfelt personal story.

Winner of the 2021 Biblio Art Prize - The Storytel

Winner of the 2021 Biblio Art Prize - The Storytellers Prize (shared)
So Chuffed to win this award alongside @orielglennen in this category.
My mixed media artwork -
- ‘Be Prepared’ -
was a response to Australian author Sean O’Bierne’s book called ‘A Couple of Things Before the End’. A compilation of Short Stories, I chose his narrative about Scouts - a hilarious commentary on this retro pastime and imbued it with the book’s futuristic view of environmental chaos. Sean’s written words rain down on the boys ‘Lost in the Woods’, stitched up wind blows ominously as owlish symbols of portent look on knowingly, there are ‘a couple of book trees’ made from book edges growing from a book spine garden bed before the ‘end page’ headstones. Despite the bleak overtones!! the use of collage I think suited the eclectic collection of stories and as is my want not to be too serious I popped in a handmade leather woggle cos I just love the word ‘woggle’ and Sean’s stories are equally absurd and amusing at times! The artwork will be on display throughout summer till February’s end at @blarneybooksandart in Port Fairy Victoria and will be for sale along with many other talented artists who responded to the bookish challenge.
