to market

im not sure if anyone knows but i make a little zine called okay. lately lots of people have been buying it and ive even saved enough money to get okay a website! it is at www.iloveokay.com and is completely boring right now but when i make some time it will be beautiful

also, to anyone in melbourne who likes markets i will be having a little stall with my best friend at round she goes market on sunday 4th of october - with lots of vintage clothes + copies of okay.
i am even going to reprint some more of issue one and issue two, so what ever doesnt sell will be on the etsy shop

hope to see you there

ps maddie yours is aside to send soon i promise!!xx

extra cheeese III photographs

i didn't get the chance to go to the extra cheeese exhibition this time but have just found some great photographs taken by julia guo
my extra cheeese partner laura morgan and i made little birds from all of our left over fabrics and fancy crafty things like sequins, beads, wallpaper, book pages, feathers, doilies, and other wonderful things from our little collections of stuff we never get around to using!
check out the rest of the exhibition photographs on julia's extra cheeese photo page here.

polaroids japan

japan was an amazing place to hang out
i really really loved it
and have already looked up my favourite shopping centre online!

i took a few polaroids, stupidly dropped my camera halfway through, with lots of film still left to use and couldnt take any photos of the cute harajuku girls! but heres a few anyway. the rest are on my deviantart.

random collective - exhibition this weekend

next week we'll be heading down to leongatha for our group exhibition Random Collective put on by nicole tattersall.

ive been working on some small embroideries for the show aswell as some pretty brooches + trying so hard to finish my zine before saturday so i can put a few down there too.

alice has been printing like crazy aswell as doing some small paintings for the show. combine that with the other artists it will be a nice exhibition for the people so far from the city who probably dont have a lot of time to get into town to see all the amazing exhibitions we take for granted.

on the same day is the triple j one night stand in sale (1hr from leongatha) which my spunki boyfriend is playing at so it will be a good saturday.

hope some of you guys get to see it. will post some photos after the opening anyway for you city slickers.

nearly finished my record for the exhibition

i even learnt how to make bowls out of recycling records - put it in the oven ontop of an ovenproof bowl for 1 minute (or when you see it getting soft) at 200deg. take it out and push down edges with a teatowel around the bowl and there you have your bowl.

a nice set

idN have put up all the slip mats from the melbourne exhibition, here
it's worth checking out if you didnt get to the exhibition last year plus you can vote on your faves
