Someone asked about buying this piece last night at the Grampians Textures Twilight market. I hadn't planned on selling, as it was an "example of use" for my embellishment lucky dip packs. Unfortunately I didn't think to get her details, but if it was you, or you know who, please get in touch! I like the idea of it hanging in a classroom. I'm also thinking I'll make an image of it available as a print through @redbubble. We had dinner after the market @spiritofpunjab - delicious Indian food. #grampians #grampianstexture #twilightmarket #textiles #slowstitching #norulesnolimits #dusk #lastlight (at Halls Gap, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvGZQnxFprk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f7fxpv7xbke7

I've made up some textile treat bags to take along to the Grampians Textures Twilight market, which is in Halls Gap on Saturday March 16, from 5 until 7. Some have a fat quarter or so of assorted fabrics, the rest have interesting bits and pieces for patchwork or slow stitch. I've sorted a few little packs of mixed buttons, too. I'll also have 3 fat quarter packs of vintage sheeting as well as cards, bags and brooches as usual. #grampians #grampianstexture #twilightmarket #hallsgap #textiles #slowstitching (at Halls Gap, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-x0Yulb2v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rzqmez2nudzc

Fourth, and last, day of adventures in assemblage in Halls Gap. Blue skies and sunshine today, we spent more time outside, including morning tea time. I bought a rusty old tin at Pickers Market in Stawell yesterday and spent some time figuring out what I want to put on the lid. My plan is to sew the embellishments on, so I need to drill all the holes. I could use fine wire, but at the moment I'm leaning towards linen thread... Providing that sewing through rusty metal doesn't destroy the thread. Then I have to put something inside. Hmmm. #grampians #grampianstexture #hallsgap #mountainviews #stuffsmith #rusty #veganfood #assemblage #art #process to (at Halls Gap, Victoria)

From day 2 of adventures in assemblage - the piece became a conversation about guilt and innocence, I think. Along with the vintage Italian Catholic medallions, there's an Easter Bunny medallion. I did some more on it today(day 3). #grampians #grampianstexture #hallsgap #stuffsmith #art #mixedmedia #assemblage #confession (at Halls Gap, Victoria)

My home-away-from-home for a few days. How am I going to cope? 😂I don't think I'll need to light the fire...have to come back in winter! #grampians #grampianstexture #hallsgap #mountainviews (at Halls Gap Log Cabins)

The weather was a bit challenging for this evening's market (gusts of wind sending things flying, and rain threatening) but we got through! Lots of textile ladies, plus some tourists and the odd cockatoo - one hopped on my table and started poking through my stock. Unfortunately I shooed it off and didn't get a photo first - silly me! #grampians #grampianstexture #twilightmarket #postcards #kurtcobain #watercolour (at Halls Gap, Victoria)

Backlit, and finally the colour is accurate. 😊We're off to Halls Gap shortly to set up my stall for the Grampians Textures twilight market. The weather isn't ideal, but there will still be ice-cream... #twilightmarket #grampians #grampianstexture #textiles #handmade #handbag #magenta #petunia #flowersoftheday (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia)

I've just finished a bundle of lavender sachets, ready for the @GrampiansTextures twilight market in Halls Gap next Saturday (18 March). My lavender bushes are about 25 years old and pretty ratty looking, but still producing. 😊#grampianstexture #makersmarket #hallsgap #handmade #lavender #linen #vintage fabric (at The Grampians)
