Black Cat's Miaow: January 2015
http://blackcatsmiaow.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A cabinet of curiosities. Saturday, January 24, 2015. When asked to illustrate Australia, my country, I have to stop to think which part of this island to show. Is it the wild and largely uninhabited west coast where crocodiles roam the waters, pearl farms dot the inlets and on land the colours are dusty shades of grey green red and orange but the skies are a burning clear blue? This box begins with a piece of a Fred Williams painting, The Nattai River. And I wonder what other people will create? I live ...

Black Cat's Miaow: August 2014
http://blackcatsmiaow.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A cabinet of curiosities. Sunday, August 24, 2014. Once upon a time four friends traveled between the islands of the Cyclades, stopping to sample fresh fish, cocktails in the evening sun, and the warm Mediterranean breezes. It was unforgettable. The OG challenge to capture something of the essence of a vacation, real or imagined, lead me to revisit that memorable time and create some ATCs with a tiny bit of the flavour of the time. First a little of the stark beauty that is Thira. Links to this post.

A cabinet of curiosities. Sunday, February 8, 2015. Love is in the air. And as Valentine's Day looms again, and the shops are full of red satin hearts and teddy bears with boxes of chocolates under their paws.its time for some romance.

Black Cat's Miaow: March 2015
http://blackcatsmiaow.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
A cabinet of curiosities. Sunday, March 22, 2015. Its so easy to make something eye-catching if you choose black, so the challenge I'm hosting at Opus Gluei (starts Sunday March 22) is all about using my favourite colour and another of your choice. I refuse to enter into conversations about how black isn't a colour, I KNOW that, but humour me. And here's one all by itself. And this is the inside of one. Links to this post. Sunday, March 8, 2015. Which is all green to me. The next one is for a friend who ...

Black Cat's Miaow: May 2015
http://blackcatsmiaow.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A cabinet of curiosities. Sunday, May 3, 2015. This is one of the eggs I finished (there are quite a few awaiting yet another coat of varnish) and its an example of using feathers as decoration. I think I still have the callouses from cutting these ones out. Its hard to display eggs, and I don't like them sitting up like trophies, so it usually lives in a bowl with a collection of others, not sitting on the mantelpiece in a napkin ring like it is here. Trip over to Opus Gluei. Links to this post. And in ...

Black Cat's Miaow: October 2014
http://blackcatsmiaow.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A cabinet of curiosities. Saturday, October 18, 2014. Its a good thing that I have friends across the world, they celebrate different things and different days.and Halloween is just one. Once upon a time I would have muttered about how Australia is being swallowed by other countries and their customs, but now I have to admit to liking the richer tapestry it all makes.and that's my philosophical musing for today. Links to this post. Sunday, October 5, 2014. And while I'm here. Have just realised that they...

Sunday, January 26, 2014. You warm my heart. Well, I have made something. Only took me 2 months but hey,. Here it is, at long last. I got this darling sugar nellie. Image quite some time ago and have finally painted it up with distress ink pads to give to my sweetie as a late anniversary card sort of thingy. I hope you're warm, wherever you're at.
