A day of TWELVES

Today we record our day as 12/12/12 a Numerical Coincidence. As a calendar year doesn't have 13 months it will be nine hundred and eighty nine years before we scribe the day, month and year with the same numerals 01/01/01 (1^st January 3001). The number twelve has captivated and influenced us throughout history and it seemed like the perfect day to reflect on the year and list twelve memorable moments that occurred throughout the year.  Simple enough task right? Well summing up a busy and hectic year into just twelve moments is an achievement in its’ self. 

Anyway here we go in no particular order twelve memorable moments throughout 2012:

Celebrated turning 40

First Solo Exhibition – Sunday Drives

Enjoyed having more time in the studio

Delighted and honoured to have art works that are now part of private collections

Very exciting to have artwork accepted into State of the Art Quilt, Stanthorpe Arts Festival, Beneath The Southern Sky and Infused 2: all things Tea

And of course taking time to enjoy and contemplate the day with family and friends

fabric release through Spoonflower

 

Added four new fabrics to my collection today, they have been inspired by recent photos captured while out and about around town. The flowering balconies of our State Library, further photo study of pallets and the stacked containers and cranes out at the Port of Brisbane have been the inspiration for this collection. 

These fabrics are now part of my fabric collection available through Spoonflower

End of Year Exhibition

Dropped off my pieces this morning, I'm looking forward to opening night
