Thank you @karensteenbergen_ceramics for another wonder term making critters. I get so much enjoyment from the weekly class and even managed to salvage my owl-deer-lion after an unfortunate bump on my way out of the studio (scroll through). I’m thinking these two are autumn and spring.

I was blown away by the diversity and quality of everyone’s work — especially the box full of wheel-thrown pieces my husband made in his first term ever working with ceramics (I totally predicted that).

Just got my hands on the advance copy of the third

Just got my hands on the advance copy of the third (!!!) Sherlock Bones graphic novel: The Art and Science Alliance.

Because this book features two of my passions (art and science) there were soooo many research rabbit holes to fall into and it took a little while to create.

Thankfully I had the assistance of Peter William Popple with colouring, Sandra Nobles on design, the wonderful team at Allen and Unwin on all things editing and publishing, and Tassie as my protective guard dog (as seen hovering in the background).

Available in May!!! Perfect for independent readers and kids who like to laugh.

Thank you @varunawritershouse for an amazing two weeks. It was everything I hoped for and more.

Already missing all my new friends. I look forward to seeing you all again… and reading your amazing projects.

It’s going to be so hard to say goodbye to @varunawritershouse and all my new friends tomorrow. The time and space Varuna has given me to write (and rewrite), sketch and think has been invaluable. I will be forever grateful for these 2-weeks.
