these busy days...

the other day my dear friend anna popped in for a cup of tea and

bought her lovely little son flynn to visit as well...
he made his own creations in the studio -
it was great to see play happening in my cluttered workspace.
i'm soooo busy at the moment getting my christmas orders made
that i am very much missing those times of play in my own work
(and in the day to day as well)

and as usual, it seems,
it is in children that we see the greatest messages
of what life is really about...

and, for the record flynn rolled the clay all by himself !

sentimental fool

for those who know me... i am... well...

a sentimental fool...
and really, this is why christmas ornaments
have become a part of my work...

for every year, no matter how crazy life gets,
how far away from those we love we may be...
the act of putting an ornament - a memento -
on a tree or hanging it in your home
can remind us of where we have been, where we are
& that what lies ahead is an unknown...

the past few years i've offered these
personalised stars to a select few stores here in brisbane,
and this year the lovely team from biome
are selling them online, the orders close strictly october 31
