more images from the studio...

Its been a very busy time of late and when I posted last week I left a note saying that there might not be much happening here for a bit. Tonight I found some photos I'd wanted to add to this blog... so I'm popping in briefly to post them . There are more to come.... soon!

Please email if you wish to get in touch... comments all come through my email as well... so it's very simple to make the connection. Also my website has a contact page.

thanks,

Sophie

in the studio recently after a collecting expedition in the gardens

tiny works from a month ago - seeds from Western Australia

seeds and pods waiting to be drawn

The amazing ball of fluff is a species that hails from africa. The pods were bursting open on the tree and the balls of what was rather like fairy floss were floating and landing nearby.  It was quite a sight... very itchy though! The rest are from Australia. NB the bowl has seeds woven around the edge... and contains quandong seeds. 

...in the studio... I keep all kinds of seeds in the cabinet on the left!

the wall hanging on the left was given to me by textile artist Nicki Laws who uses natural dyes made from botanical

material from around her property on the Darling Downs.
