A break in time
Hello Creative expressionist – it’s been a good year & a bit since I have posted or even picked up a pair of pliers & wire. With moving house at the start of 2020 & then Covid hitting us, life had been put on hold but now it’s time to get my creative juices flowing again. This will be a year of new discoveries & new avenues for my wire art, all starting now.

‘Competitions & construction’
I have been enjoying keeping busy working on separate pieces for a couple of Competitions coming up in Sydney & for the last 3 weekends I’ve been showing some pieces at the Samford & surrounds Art Trail & Open Studios open from 10am until 4pm each Saturday & Sunday for 4 weeks.
Busy, Busy, Busy…..

I am all ready to go this weekend – taking Evancee up to Kingaroy – all of my positive vibes are travelling too. Even though it’s meant to be raining over the weekend that’s not dampening the spirits.
GO “EVANCEE”
Rain at last.
Rain at last.
Finally after all of this sweltering heat, we get some relief – RAIN & COOLER WEATHER. The grass has shot up again, the trees & plants look so much happier. Thank-You we are all at peace.
“AUTUMN”
“AUTUMN” – The calendar says we are in Autumn but the weather is telling another story. When is it going to start cooling down?
Competition year
Competition Year
This is the year where my wire art is going to be found in a huge way – I can just feel it. All of my Galleries & comps are all lined up & waiting for the dates.
You know when you have ‘that’ feeling well I have it in a big way – this year is going to be my year! 2019 here I come.
Water Water & more Water.
Water Water & more Water.
Wow if we are not flooding we could be in drought & if we are none of these we could be on fire in a wind storm, hurricane, typhoon or freezing over. What is happening to our Mother earth – have we pushed her to the edge & now is rebelling!
I must say I’m able to work more comfortably with the rain that we are having – the heat was just too oppressive. – cool weather produces cool sculptures.
