A little peek at something I've been working on since I got home - a new design for our range of hand painted bags (& aprons). Very much inspired by Polish/Baltic florals, papercuts (wycinanki) & folk art - hopefully the first design of several we will be producing. I've drawn, re-drawn, scanned, enlarged, printed the design & it is now ready for me to cut out a stencil, before we can start painting.

I'm really enjoying drawing these stylised florals - I kept this one quite simple, but have also been having fun with more intricate designs - & along with some other influences/inspirations from my travels, they should start appearing in all sorts of mediums...

a day at the market | june

Another lovely morning at the Wirrabara Market. It was suitably wintery, but the dark skies must have scared the people away because it was very quiet.

Still, we had a great day, hard not to when you have good company and hot spring rolls for morning tea! Plus, Mum and I seem to be getting the hang of setting up the market by ourselves, just in time for Vickie coming home.

a day at the market | may

It was our first market without Market Master Vickie and although we had a bit of trouble figuring out how to fit everything and it took us longer than normal to setup, the stall looked great.

We had a good day overall, the sun came out and it was unusually warm for a May morning. People milled about all morning and we enjoyed the best pizzas that have ever graced the market, seriously they were so yummy!

Mum and I have lots of work to do for our next market - Flinders Street Market on the 1st of June! If you’re in the city on the weekend, come check it out. :)

a day at the market | april

A totally glorious autumn day for this month's Wirrabara Producers market, a cool (cold) early morning, followed by a mild, sun-shiny late morning & afternoon. It was also Easter Sunday & along with the sunshine came lots & lots of people to buy produce, chat & enjoy the atmosphere.
