paper boats and girls who made this....

introducing

FORGET ME NOT

a range of poetry jewellery
a collaboration between
kylie johnson - paper boat press
&
jane peacock - girls made this

this range is going to be launched at
life in style
a gift trade show in melbourne this coming weekend
so hopefully they will be for sale soon in a store near you

they will also be available in a couple of months
in both jane and my online stores . . .
(will let you know when they are in)

this collection has been a long time coming (long long time)
but we are finally ready to show you all . . .

and a big thanks to the fabulous madeleine brown
who helped us with her stamping genius in
getting our samples (some shown above) ready for the fair . . .

we hope you like the fruits of our labour . . .
it's been a labour of love !

kate's online store opens !

good morning, i'm just popping by quickly to give some

shameless promotion to one of my nearest and dearest
with the opening of her
ONLINE STORE
yes, the fabulous ms knapp has her gorgeous and inspiring
prints, cards, and the like, for sale now in her
newly revamped website

it's well worth a visit and bookmarking
for present and spoiling yourself ideas

above are a couple of my favourite of her cards . . .

(the one on the right she swears she was thinking of me
when painting it . . .
lying back on my (yes i have a red) couch, surrounded by
paintings, the telephone, glasses of wine, books,
lamps and cushions every-which-way.)

have a lovely weekend,
i'll be back again soon with an exciting reveal of
a jewellery collaboration i've been working on
for a long long time with a beautiful and inspired friend of mine

so . . .

it's been a long few weeks for me
and i haven't been here (or in my studio) much,
turns out i have pneumonia
which is frustrating and painful and all that . . .
but there's a lot of people not well at the moment and my thoughts
are with them

i feel so overwhelmed with love and support
from my family and friends.
they have been supporting me with meals
and company and love.

one of my dearest friends jane turned up today with
these packages of home made soup. . . so thoughtfully packed too. . .
and she's not the only one . . . you beautiful people know who you are
thank you . . .
taking that photo and sitting at the computer now
has taken it out of me and it's back to resting

i'll be back here soon
with a winter sale in my online store and some new products
for it as well . . . all in good time.

how i wish . . .

how i wish i was in sydney now for the
australian ceramics triennale
but it just wasn't possible for me this year. . .
luckily there's been lots of updates and info on websites
and blogs all over the place including this one . . .

above photo is work from a solo show my friend kenji's has on
if you are down that way - (info on his blog)
kenji's work is always awe inspiring !

form

heading off to FORM in western australia

there are some pots coming to the online store
very soon i promise !
