Find, Make, Do: Shopping by Colour
http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2011/04/shopping-by-colour.html
About Find, Make, Do. Thursday, April 7, 2011. I love this series of photographs by Marco Ugolini. Displaying supermarket products divided by color. They are currently part of a group exhibition called Food For Thought. There is no doubt the colour of food packaging can evoke a response in the consumer. Which raises the question. Are we being influenced by food companies to purchase their products according to the colour of the packet? Posted by Betty Jo. June 19, 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Find, Make, Do: February 2011
http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
About Find, Make, Do. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. While shopping in my favorite precinct of King St. Newtown while on holiday in Sydney, I finally got to visit Made590. And was very taken with these Pin Pal. They kind of summed up me and my moods when on a holiday with two kids and no Mr BJ! I now want the matching hair clip. I have been a fan of Pin Pals on Etsy. For ages, and love their cute blog. Sara is an illustrator and designs paper toys and T-shirts. Posted by Betty Jo. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Find, Make, Do: August 2010
http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
About Find, Make, Do. Sunday, August 29, 2010. I wandered past Robyn Stewardson's owlie assemblages at the last Abbotsford Makers Market. And had to immediately backtrack to have a better look. Robyn constructs her Kitchen Owls from all manner of discarded metal kitchen bric-a-brac. If you ever invite Robyn over for tea, I'd keep a close watch on your strainers and saucepan lids! Every owl has it's own name and personality a. And is soon to release a range of 2011 calendars with her snappy images. For up...

Find, Make, Do: September 2010
http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
About Find, Make, Do. Saturday, September 11, 2010. As I seem to be totally engrossed in assembling clocks. I have collected a few of my favorite time pieces assembled from recycled materials from flickr. From the simple vintage plate to the tin robot assemblage, adding a clock movement takes the item from decorative to functional. 2 Atomic Eggbeater Clock. I love Kim from the Sassy Crafter's. Of egg beaters to make her version of the Atomic Clock. Vintage trays also get a makeover in the Sassy Crafter's.

http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2011/07/out-of-frying-pan-into-fire.html
About Find, Make, Do. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Out of Frying Pan into the Fire! The mystery items from the "What am I' competition were the bottom of frying pans! These magical images were via one of my favorite blogs Junkculture. The clue was a link to Junkculture in my side bar! The photographer responsible is Christopher Jonasson. The winner is Julianne from Sister Outlaws. Who, after having a few stabs including door knobs and darning mushrooms finally deduced the correct answer. Posted by Betty Jo.

... At the rim of the far-flung sky: Cutting the Template
http://farflungsky.blogspot.com/2012/11/cutting-template.html
At the rim of the far-flung sky. Sunday, November 11, 2012. I've Started to cut away at the lino to leave my print design. This is probably the most labour intensive part of the process as you tend to spend a long time doing this, hunched over the lino. I always need to take plenty of breaks otherwise my neck and shoulders hurt after a while. I didn't get much colour experiments done today as I left it late and then the darkness came. I now realise that I really do need to get more organised. I o...Jenni...

... At the rim of the far-flung sky: October 2012
http://farflungsky.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
At the rim of the far-flung sky. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. You don't need lots of expensive equipment to do printmaking - many printmakers prefer to do everything by hand. All you need is a space to do your work uninterrupted by the rest of the family for a few hours each week. This is my drying line, a piece of thick string hung between two bookcases in my studio. The string is held in place by a couple of magazine boxes filled with previous copies of Wildlife magazine. Links to this post. I was lucky ...

At the rim of the far-flung sky. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. I was really looking forward to today's Life Drawing Class, but unfortunately we were sorely disappointed as the life model didn't turn up! However, our lecturer Chris organised the lesson around drawing an A1 figure from an A4 drawing. I really enjoyed this session and although my drawing was not finished, I thought I would still show it. I have put this drawing in the drawer ready to form part of my life drawing portfolio. Andrea Clark wit...
