Dear Yogis,

Perfume violets, Viola, odorata, blossom

I have been painting my tiny botanical watercolours on Tea Bags and learning how to print them on vellum (I have even found a distributor not far away). This does not mean I have walked away from my yogis, being now part of my cells I have been doing art and yoga for so long.

Now I am going to search through my pressed flowers to find the matching pressed flowers to the paintings, write about them, matt and mount them and perhaps frame (or not).  I know how I want to do them, but money and time may preclude me from achieving it.  I need a wealthy patron as Victorian painters and botanists had.  They mostly started in mature age.. I am not dead yet, there is a long way to go and lots to do.

I am working on the greeting cards, some of which I will take to the gallery tomorrow (Sunday).  They seem to be achievable in this straightened economic climate… The cost starts at $9.50 on vellum $12.50 due to the  difficulties involved and the cost of the paper itself, however, each little card is a little artwork you can frame – a group of four looks good.  Come meet me in the gallery tomorrow.  The Mt.Macedon Gallery, just down the lane beside the Trading Post between 10 and 1pm.

By the way I have heard that The Mount Macedon Hotel is worth a visit.  For a long while they lost their way however, I am told the food is good, the service is vastly improved and it is getting the community vibe back.  I will try to book for our next Yoga Lunch.

 

WHATS ON.

>>>>>ZOOM DISABILITY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING. Our zoom section is done.  If you want to join the class, you will have to wait for the next one towards the end of the year.    If you want to join our regular Monday zoom class,  you can, but you will need to email me to get the ZOOM ID.
