another dead bird

i have had a few post in the past about dead birds.

it was impossible to not stop to photograph this one...looking so much like it was sleeping! almost outside Good Brother cafe on Watt street.

i will get some new pics up here very soon of the things i have been making recently...

the maker of wanderlust clothing has been supplying me with all her mountains of off-cuts! honestly, i have had to make a storage space for the bags of fabric in our tiny apartment. i don't have enough sewing hours in my week to deal with it all quickly.

when i do have time i am making things that can be stuffed with small, otherwise landfill, fabric scraps.

trevor dickinson mural

on the way to Newcastle Beach from the city is a little tunnel taking pedestrians under the road to pop out right at the beachside...
there has been a mural on either side of this tunnel for years; but the predominate colour seemed to be black, making it dark inside...

in steps trevor dickinson with his awesome drawing and painting skills, and his humour.
it is now light, bright and exciting in this tunnel.





the ufo and superman silhouettes are a nice small touch..
you have to be really looking to notice them, they are very small details (to give an idea of scale: the ufo is that small smudge to the right above the 'showering' person)

the scene from our inner city apartment. the beach is just beyond these buildings.
the light was perfect for only a few seconds... the colour of that new Sebel wall looked beautiful against the sky...and then there is all the construction work going on behind the old morgue.
great contrasts with the delicate sky.

looks better with the crochet finished all the way to the ground.
this resurrected crochet lasted at least for the first evening of the Red Lantern Markets...it was no where to be found this time; and there are too many bins to go searching in.

bollard crochet

it lasted in place for maybe 10 mins? 1 hr? 10hrs?
well who knows.
but twelve hrs later it was definitely off.
