Uluru Watercourses - Cape.

Back


Front

This is the last piece in the 2008-2009 Desert Collection. It is handfelted and hand dyed merino wool and silk chiffon and is reminiscent of the paths water and minerals make as they descend Uluru after the rains.

The Cape will be available at Studio Altenburg, one of Lis' Spring Wearables.

Cherry blossom time

It's Cherry blossom time on the Southern Tablelands.

Another birthday.

Gina celebrated her birthday last week with a red-themed party and lots of family and friends.
Lis made this hand felted and hand stitched merino wool and recycled kimono silk scarf to fit in with the red theme.

Happy birthday, Cecile.

Lis made a hand felted nuno scarf in silk chiffon and merino wool, hand dyed by Pip Creasey, as a birthday present for long time friend, Cecile.

Next workshop in Bungendore

On Sunday 25 October we hold the next in our series of felting workshops with Lis Mertens. This course is a mixed bag with participants undertaking Nuno Scarf, handbag or various other projects that they would personally like to learn. For more information on this course, $80 for the day includes morning tea; however, participants need to supply their own lunch.

The Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef

The photo shows a sample of crochet coral models produced by the group, Hyperbolic - Bloom in Canberra, of which Lis was a contributor.
Workshops like this were held around the country and the final installation at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney incorporates almost a thousand models of coral, kelp, sea slugs and anemones in material ranging from wool to plastic bags and fibre-optic cables, produced by more than 300 people.
The installation weaves art and community craft together with environmental activism and marine biology and runs until August 30th.
