Look at this lovely little parrot on the side of a building in Brunswick in Melbourne. Melbourne is full of great building art. It is good to spend a bit of time in the city from time to time. If I start doing the markets again I'll be spending a lot more time there. My friends from Able and Game, Anna and Gareth, let us stay at their house while we're in the big smoke. Thanks Anna and Gareth!
Last night I ventured into my dark studio, flicked the lights, sought out the whereabouts of the three resident huntsmen spiders (when you've got spiders the size of your palm living in your studio you need to know where they are so they don't suprise you by lurking on the back of your chair, or under the table just where your knees fit) and started a new wire bird. I wanted to try a larger piece, a red wattlebird. I finished him off this morning and am quite pleased with him.
Also a little note to say I've a new gallery showing my work. You can now view my etchings in Daylesford in Pantechnicon Gallery at the end of Vincent Street, just before the second roundabout. Here's a photo of it for visual people!

It's obvious I've been spending too much time with my mapping class, because my 1st thought was, "She should keep track of their locations! And make spider territory maps!" Which, honestly, would be pretty fun and/or awesome...
I'm loving your wire birds. Your tiles, too. Are you glad to be back with the Australian wildlife?
Spiders the size of you palms! Yikes!
congrats on the new gallery.
