It must be said that I usually can’t stand Cauliflower (childhood memories of cauliflower cheese slowly going cold as I pushed it around the plate *shudder*). This soup transports the vegetable in some way however. The end result is silky and deep and doesn’t taste like cauliflower as I remember it. Plus it’s healthy!
Cauliflower, cumin [...]

Weekends at the farm, oil on wood, 30×23cm
When I was growing up in Hobart (Tasmania), I was lucky enough to have a couple of friends who lived on farms and travelled in to school each day. I have wonderful memories of long weekends spent with them, wet grass, animals, horse riding, open fires, running over [...]

Have a look at this!
I have seen these works grow, marvelled at the detail and amount of work that has gone into them and the imagination that it has taken, so it was a thrill to finally see them delivered to Pivotal Gallery and to be at the opening last Wednesday night.
Go Daniel.
Go [...]

Something funny has been going on around here lately.
I just can’t seem to get the clocks working. There have been three of them in the same place in the house that keep going awry. Slowing down. I finally returned one to the shop today and hope it will return fixed and happy.
And no amount of [...]

Since seeing this (about 2 minutes in to be specific) magnificent film years ago, I have been furtively interested in making my own paint.
Langridge Artist pigment is available at art stores. You may have to hunt to find it, but the domestic alchemy of mixing and preparing is mystical and marvellous.
It comes with bold directions [...]

“I’m making marshmallow” she said. Course she is.
Little bit later.
“It’s very good” she said. Course it is.
And then she blogged it.
And I got all excited and really had to try it.
And yesterday a parcel arrived in the mail from Ms 6.5 which cemented (the already done deal of) making it in the afternoon.
Which was where [...]

Is it just me or does everyone feel like they just want to stay home and not talk to anyone….
The older I get the worse it seems to be getting. Once I get over the Christmas fun (and it is fun) I just want to hide and not see or talk to anyone. The thought [...]

You know how sometimes, you see (or hear) of something that is just so fab that you think you might like to be a part of it.
And then it touches you, and you feel privileged to be part of the movement and the pleasure of being alive and part of the human race.

I got so caught up in the making and sending of Backtack 4 that I almost forgot that I was going to get something in return.
How very exciting it was to find a parcel on my doorstep yesterday from Tatjana.
I don’t want to rub it in, but I did feel very spoiled and grateful and [...]
