It's been a long and busy week so far - trying to sort out my taxes and financial reports, and lots of testing and appointments happening (which always suck up waaaaaayyyyy toooooo much time).... so I didn't get a chance to finish the Medicare project.
The black and white statement was looking a little bland, so I put it back through the printer and added some tulips. I'm promising myself that I WILL get this done today!
I've also started working on a little side project just for fun.
Cate from Polka Dot Rabbit is curating an Exhibition as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. It's called Home Is Where The Craft Is.
From Cate's Blog:
The purpose of this exhibition to explore the role of women's crafting as part of and related to one’s home. The items crafted may have a functional purpose at home as opposed to being simply created for artistic or creative purposes.
Crafting is usually carried out in the home, often in a communal area or shared environment such as a kitchen table, living room couch or spare room. The creative process often intersects with other tasks of home life such as watching telly, waiting for the washing machine to finish etc.

The name of my collection for the exhibition is Containment. I'm aiming to make various pieces whose function will be to contain some sort of object or thing. The beauty of a project like this, is that I can be as creative and wild and wacky as I feel like.
That should keep me busy at home for the next couple of weeks!
Now I'm off to check out all of Kirsty's other amazing creative spaces...

I love how you pimped up the medicare statement...lol My eyes glaze over normally at the mention of medicare or other govt agencies, now you wouldn't mind opeing the envelopes if they looked pretty like that :)
That paper looks a whole lot more exciting with colour, doesn't it?! Very fresh. Good luck with it and the exhibition-sounds exciting.
I can't even begin to fathom what you are cooking up. But I am holding on to my hat!
