Getting my craft on...


I have been playing with my fabric stash, and came up with this collage of bits and pieces...sooooo, I decided to make a journal cover out of the finished piece...ta da!
Ready for some mindblowing inspiration, scribblings and thoughts...this was fun! 

Also, visited the wonderful Heide Museum to check out an exhibition of one of my very favourite artists, Mirka Mora...she is such an inspiration to me. Mum and I spent a lovely day soaking up the inspiration, and enjoying a lovely lunch in the cafe. Here I am standing outside the windows where Mirka painted one of her fabulous murals.

and here is a picture of her painting the windows...
As well as her gorgeous paintings, her cloth dolls were also on display.  Hmmm...I have decided to make one of my own...

Here are the beginnings of my art doll, inspired by the wonderful Mirka Mora...
Can't wait to show you the finished product...
