A talk and a winner..

As mentioned las week, on Thursday I drove down to Brisbane to give a talk to the Australian Textile and Surface Design Association.  They wanted me to talk about my artistic journey, marketing and promotion, my love of paper and what I make with it and my career highlights.

I really enjoyed myself, and survived the thunderstorm-riven drive home,

As part of the talk I had some bookmarks to give away and took along some small books and some prints for sale - in case folk wanted to take home "a little bit of something".

I had fun working with the technique that Gemma had taught back in February, using a range of water-soluble pencils and crayons and then adding a word or two. Inside there are nice printmaking and watercolour papers to draw on or write on or...

I had such fun going thru my threads and trying to choose eight different colours that matched the covers.

Imagine..

Begin...

Wonder..

Shine...

Believe..

Enjoy...

Share...

 All stitched and ready to go..

Once they are packed and sealed of course!

But on to more important things... the winner of the Imagine Peace print giveaway is:

Congratulations Charlton (Margaret)!  Let me know the best address to post this to and I shall send it on its way...

Thank you all so much for the kind thoughts and words you left me. I hope to use the words somehow someday...
