So! Here we have it.. my exhibition! I forgot my memory card yesterday but I'm so glad I did because it meant I used the camera I'd borrowed to make a few artsy videos as a stills camera too.. such a great lens.. thanks Lauren/Lauren's sister!

As I believe I've said already but can't resist saying again - I am so happy with the way it's turned out! Especially as my biggest worry was that I didn't have enough work..

Now, onto the next project.. I'm not coping well with nothing to stress out about..

The very lovely Robecca has written some rather nice words about me and my practice on NZ based website Thread - A real purler.. thank you so much hun!

Robecca also happens to be a very talented lady herself, a veritable vintage clothes queen with her label Sans Pareil. I finally asked and found out today that it means 'unparalleled' in french, and how apt that is.

I love the new images of her range, not only because I happen to count her beautiful model as one of my dearest friends (and love her in black lippy!) but because Robecca's style is just so great. She's constantly rocking up in clothes that she's just whipped up during the day, making me green with envy. She also regularly posts personal looks on lookbook so be sure to check her out!

Just a few of my favourite people/images from my opening.. Thanks to Sarah for taking some of them, especially the documentation of how happy having a solo show made me!!

Opening my exhibition Collection last night was so much fun.. Here's an image of my favourite piece to celebrate - stitched with my hair and my sister's, it's titled with our initials that also happen to be a club we had when we were little.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along, especially to the lovely Clara for your amazing speech that went straight to the heart of what I do and taught me things about my work and my practice that I didn't even know! And of course thank you also to everyone who so willingly gave me their hair to stitch with.. the show could quite literally not have existed without you.. xx

How apt is it that that the day before the opening of my hairy exhibition my neighbours have this red wig just chillin' on their verandah?! Weird..

My first solo exhibition is coming up ever so soon! If you're in Melbourne please do come along to the opening night, Thursday 2nd June from 6 - 8 pm. It's at Hand Held Gallery in the city, which is suite 18 (upstairs) in Paramount Arcade, 108 Bourke St. Yay!

These beautiful images, taken by my cousin Josh Windsor, have induced the most serious bout of homesickness yet.. For my grandma's 80th my family went out to Te Arai to plant trees and I really wish I'd been there..

Tehehe.. I just got sent these images of the knitting I was doing a while ago, all lovely and packaged up. As far as I can make out they were sent out as promotional material for an upcoming puppet show at the Auckland Theatre Company (?) - Hardcore Goes Soft. Love it.

Papier Mache is SUCH an underused medium!

Taking photos of Robecca this evening made me remember how much I love photography, how using the flash isn't always a bad idea but that I should persevere with trying not to use it, and the sweet leopard print ridiculous heels I bought at an op shop in Tasmania that are just waiting to be worn.. Good times.

I'm loving having Monday's off.

It's amazing what professionals can do to crappy little photos I take! These are the pages from the feature of Hey Tiger ezine that I'm featured in.. Happy..
