A "make you feel good' read

Dear Fellow Artists,

Please take a look at this link http://www.artshub.com.au/au/news-article/opinions/arts/10-reasons-to-be-an-artist-185503

I think you will enjoy the topic and may feel a renewed sense of empowerment.

Have a lovely day,

Miss Penny.  x

P.S. Thank you Arts Hub - for always having lots of educational and interesting snippets.  A Big Like!

Wear your Art & Carry your Stash

These lino print designs make the ultimate accessory.  Why not strut original art work? And it's practical too with enough space for all your goodies.

Each bag features a collage panel on the other side.  Inked, painted, stitched and stamped.  Truly unique and beautiful.

Wearable Art for Immanuel Arts Festival 2012

I'm very excited, after having attended the first committee meeting, for the Immanuel Arts Festival 2012.

There will be a Wearable Art Section.  Whooo Hoo!  I'm so excited to be involved.

So, fellow artisans get those fashion/art ideas going and you should, just about, have enough time to create some amazing and obscenely-time consuming garment.  I should know - remember the crocheted plastic bag dress? - A gazillion hours.

This is the absolute best Arts Festival on the Coast - so don't miss out.  Be ready when the entries open.

Oversized Organics

Check out the wonderful harvests I've had this week.  My hen, Daphne laid the massive egg weighing 90 grams and my little, potted lemon tree produced these stunning lemons, the largest is 10 cms long and weighs 550 grams.

My friend Anne suggested I make Lemon Butter!

This summer I intend to do some more organic gardening as part of my Creative Therapies.  It's so rewarding when the produce is......  well lets face it............ MAJESTIC!

I hope your week has been great too and your productive spirit has had a chance to fly.

Magical, shocking, awesome, stunning!

Artist or Arts Org - Great tips!

Hi readers,

I came across this article and I thought it worthy of sharing.  The tips would help both arts organisation and  individual artists.  You can't go wrong with greater attention to Strategic Planning.
