Fuzz, Felt & Fur


Warm fuzzies - Civic Square, Wellington

'How are you feeling' - outside the Hutt City Library

The New Dowse has a new touchy-feely exhibition on, aptly named Fuzz, Felt and Fur. Which of course lent itself perfectly to a spot of knit graffiti.

Taranki ahoy!






Cherie and I had a wonderful time up in the 'naki for the weekend. It was such an honour to be asked to take a workshop at the Govett-Brewster - one of NZ's best contemporary art galleries.

I'll leave the pictures to say all the words! And a big thanks to the G-V, and the freaking awesome Belt Road Holiday Park we stayed at. Their motel cabins are simply gorgeous - we honestly didn't want to leave!

Friday Love


pic thanks to Greer

It's a glorious Wellington Friday, and what better day than to say awww, thanks!

Apparently 'You are doing ok' has been taken down - but I want to resurrect it. I'll need a crew to get up though - anyone keen?

You are doing ok

Thanks to Enjoy Gallery, Nikki came down from Auckland a couple weeks ago for the Secret Project.

And here it is...(thanks also to Cherie for giving us a hand on a rather grotty Sunday)
We were a bit sad at removing the old 'It will all be OK'...

And wondered how our new fabric would work...
You are doing ok.

It doesn't stand out as much as the red, but it has a nice gold sheen which is caught when you're a bit further up the road, and hopefully by lights in the dark. A nice progression from future tense to present.

It's a tree! The prize draw done!

Hooray! We have two winners for the It's a Tree super amazing awesome prize draw!

Catherine M
wins a three month subscription to the Flights of Fancy Yarn Club

and

Tracy
(you know who you are :D) - wins 2 skeins of sock yarn and 2 of 12 ply.

With over 500 contributions I was biting my nails a bit to see who was going to win - and at the last minute decided to do a second chance draw as well - although if I had my way everyone would get something. But the random number generator turned up 158 and 427 (you'll have to believe me - the screen shot doesn't work on this laptop).

Super Duper excited that stiX will be in Wellington this weekend for a Top Secret Project. Hopefully I can drag her out to the Dowse and have a session adding more leaves and things to the trees. Hooray!

Hooray!
