flocking in....

 Having a brilliant week....well it has slipped over until next week now,
new samples I am pleased with...there is a coat floating around as well....can't wait to see it finished

 Finally rains, gentle and persistent, so our 1 crop of the years planted.....fingers crossed it prospers....

 Lilli from Mullumbimbi in Australia, and yes it may be incorrectly spelt! has arrived, she has been dancing around, playing saris, groping fabrics, swooning over indigo and handloom and following a dream working with us to create her new range of clothes. Fun energy.

My mate Dijanne is back, she was here to help and enjoy our Indian Inspiration Creative Camp earlier in the year and left with so many ideas she has come back as an artist-in-residence, and as a good mate has been a wonderful help too...she is currently up stairs sorting a mountain of saris into colour piles to help us out. After this the block print room will be free and I promise to keep from distracting her and making sure there is time to experiment and trial ideas....last week when we were at the indigo man's she tie and dyed a beautiful piece of dhoti handloom cloth, we are both drooling over....
I will be eternally grateful for her restoring order to the gentle chaos of the sari mountain.
She is an early bird like me and we were laughing the other day- getting up early and chatting we have generated a weeks worth of ideas come 7.00am!!
it is true.....the newest idea is to take notes and work through these ideas over time.....just planning where we are going with this.... we have a love of the same materials, processes and sharing and so come to a meeting point from there we go out in different directions...fun to see "Where things Change"
stay tuned....
