Windswept hair at the Junction

The Junction Arts Festival has livened up Launceston since the 24th August. Many of you have also visited and I decided to snap some shots today, the last day of some arty fun.

The Inflatable Whale by artist Mark Cuthbertson has moved around the city. Delighting little kids and big kids alike.

I have been smiling all week as the Streets Alive Arts Trail: From Junky to Funky popped up around the hood. A few laughs this afternoon at Re-Made: Art Fashion for the 21st Century as some of the recycled and upcycled fashion were displayed. One described as being 'mad tight', a new term for the pool room.

 

 

And what crafter could forget to mention the Crocheted Chocolate installation at Nanna's Coffee and Vintage Cafe. The Launceston Brown Owls had a chocolate-y session, which unfortunately I had to miss. Loving the work.

Looking forward to next year's installment :)

 Knit a pixel, make a vom pom or hand knit a poo.

Add some tea and cake. What do you have?

First Brown Owls

My childhood fun stitch

I attended my first Brown Owls group this evening for a bit of craftiness. The venue changed but that did not change what is obviously a lovely monthly get together. The group is making a quilt which will be raffled at the end of the year to raise money for Kiva. I have been meaning to try quilting for years now so this looks like the perfect opportunity. Looking forward to our next Owly meeting in a couple of weeks time.

Happy crafting! Ames :)
