These are a few of my...

favourite things.

Things that make me happy.

Things that I love.

Things that I'd love to own.

Things that I do own.

Things that I enjoy.

Things that I enjoy doing.

Things that I enjoy making.

Things that resonate with my sense of aesthetics.

At the moment I am loving... these textile designs by Hilde Reindl,

these beautiful vintage-inspired handmade clothes from Fleur + Dot

and the many beautiful children's rooms pinned here, here and here.

This week has just up and flown away. And what a busy one it was!

You can read a little bit about my week here...  if you so fancy. xoxo

So beautiful!

Indian Doll Artworks: Assemblage & Art Dolls via

Miller & Goodman

Sort through your toy box and take things apart

Making or breaking, you find the rules

Add thumbprints and scribbles, splodges and swirls

Mistakes and suprises are all part of ART

I found this wonderful book at the NGV shop last week.


It's inspired Ari and I to make some fun faces of our own.
We've been rummaging through the studio and found all sorts
of bits and bobs to use!  I'll post here when we're done :)

Faces is available from millergoodman's shop
and take a peek at their lovely blog here too!


It reminds me very much of Sabine Timm's wonderful work

Gunta Stölzl

Have you been to see The Mad Square yet?

It finishes this Sunday. 

Hurry down to the NGV before you miss out!

Do you know the work of Gunta Stölzl?

Her use of colour is exquisite. And her working drawings are equally 

as beautiful as her finished textiles. I love preliminary work often as 

much, if not more, than the final piece. It has a certain energy about it.

It was a pleasure to see her paintings in the flesh.

You can view more of her work at this site

and the above book is available here from Amazon.

You might like this book too.

The Mad Square focusses on Modernity in German art from 1910-37.

Expressionism. Bauhaus. Dada. Constructivism. New Objectivity. 

Metropolis and what the National Socialist Party termed Degenerate Art 

and confiscated, stole, burnt or sold abroad. It's a fascinating show

 ...and not one to be missed, so better get your skates on!

Oh and Happy Autumn to my 

fellow Southern Hemispherians.

Goodbye Summer! It's been swell :)
