Hi Yogis,
I am hoping that you will come see the exhibition THIS Saturday in Mt.Macedon – I will be there from 2pm to 4pm to share my champers…. It is your opportunity to add to your collection of my work (?) at never to be repeated prices.
The sales will allow me to move forward. I am thinking of new work – death masks – although if it were possible I would like to do SPIDER WEB MINIATURES, an ancient method by probably not ecologically responsible, we do however dust our houses for spider webs, perhaps this is a way to use the web for something beautiful. Dusting is not my hobby, so I have lots of spider webs.. especially on the back verandah. Thinking back I have collected perfect spider webs on card, but that meant destroying webs – we wouldn’t do it today….
I am also going to be using tarot cards with NO images – like the Spirit Book with no writing, forget about the multiple decks of cards you have in your shelves. It is an exercise in trust. Taking the rug out from underneath myself so to speak. Treating them as normal cards – doing the cut, but having to work intimately with spirit to hear the messages. It is going to be quite an exercise. Let’s see how we go. Come and experience this spirit led tarot (with the pendulum of course) when you are ready.
DRAWING: I recently spoke with a student struggling with her beginning attempts to draw. Dispiriting when the teacher doesn’t understand even the basics herself. The right paper, the right pencil – “2B or not 2B?” as my teacher once said. Once you have mastered the basics, have confidence with a modicum of skill, then you can start sketching and achieve a result… but until you know the basics you can’t. She has asked for some lessons – would you like to join her?
FORAGING: With rising costs, I just don’t understand why more people aren’t foraging. There is still only me haunting the banks of the Five Mile Creek. I do have a lot of fabulous weeds in my garden, cleavers (sticky weed) for instance. Mixed with parsley and dandelion it does make a delicious, almost sweet pesto (even the cat likes it). During lock down I did a foraging blog. I think I did it for me as I didn’t get many lookers until I did a vent about Coles, or made gin. I don’t really understand why you will even pay $6 for a wilting bunch of greens in a supermarket when there are miles of beautiful fresh greens available free of charge. IGA are stocking seedlings, but at $5 for one sad looking parsley plant, I can’t see why you go there when you can get a packet of seeds for the same price at the produce stores.
