Love your art Penelope. We have some fantastic weavers nearby - the Weavers of Oakbank SA.
Have you heard of the The Eleventh Hour Tapestries. Mary started 3 minutes world silence on 1st January 11am to remember the future and hope for world peace.
I wrote about her tapestries on our blog on the 11th December 2007.; ▶ Reply to This

Appropriate? Not hardly.

The way you celebrate the solstice is with the dress you have on all the time. In short, jaybrid naked.; ▶ Reply to This

Having your gardening teacher show up in the buff might be intriguing, but(t) maybe not conducive to learning about when to plant your arugula:); ▶ Reply to This

But have you any idea how long it takes to load a photo that large for those of us on dial up?

Please, in future, either make the pix smaller, or just link to it as Penelope did.

Thanx.; ▶ Reply to This

I think what we wear in our gardens and homes matters. We have a tendency to dress up when we go elsewhere, when home is where we can fulfill our dreams and fantasies and need color, texture, form, style to keep us aware of the pleasures and diversity of life.; ▶ Reply to This
