Gingham Woman
Gingham Woman
Brenton Heath-Kerr was a Visual Performance Artist whom I never actually met, but whom I had the great pleasure of seeing some of his creations in the flesh. Apparently quite shy by nature, but once he donned his costume he came to life, totally going into character (much like an actor). I do remember Gingham Woman as one of the stand-outs..she was quite confronting and scary initially, but after some observation, quite cheeky and naughty, slinky around like a cat, clutching her matching handbag.
There are some other shots and I will add a link at the bottom.
Recently a friend whom stayed with us for a few days, Paul Andrew an amazing Film Maker, Writer and so much more..who incidentally made a Short Film about Brendan Heath Kerr many years back - which I so loved.
Seeing Paul brought back memories of the visual splendour of 'Gingham Woman'. So as a tribute to Brenton Heath-Kerr, I give you Gingham Girl. Obviously paired down, and not donning the conical bra.
Gorgeous box-pleat skirt
I loved the way Brenton used both bias and straight grain with the gingham,particularly around the hair, shoes and handbag. His attention to detail was amazing, I recommend link below.
Handbag in the making
Kinda thought she fits in with the Halloween theme!
Hope you like her...visit link below for more images

Eclectic Critters – soft toys that aren’t like all the others
Have you been searching for a cuddly new friend for your little person that’s unique and not like the others? Call the search off, we think we’ve found just what you’re looking for!
The characters that hail from Eclectic Critters are most definitely not like all the others, these soft toys are gorgeously unique and are destined to become great friends with their owners.
Toys are made using both new and vintage cotton prints, felt and embellishments including dainty ric-rac and fun coloured buttons. My Eclectic Critters favourite is the stunning Milly. She stands a statuesque forty-five centimeters tall and is beautiful with cherry coloured cheeks, a brunette bob and a flash pair of Mary-Jane shoes.
Eclectic Critters have plenty of handmade toys to choose from, with the line-up including dolls like Milly, bears named Beatrice, Marlon Monkeys and even seahorses and elephants.
Find unique and handmade Eclectic Critters priced from $49.95 at Blue Caravan.

Penny Evans
I had the great pleasure of meeting and befriending Penny Evans, when I amongst many others volunteered to assist on a local Indigenous art exhibition called 'Art of the Bundjalung' Of course I could not resist buying one of her pieces and have subsequently purchased more over the years.
Ceramics is one of many mediums Penny uses to create her signature style art. Her colour sensibility has a retro inspired feel, and layered in meaning. There is so much passion and fire within Penny's work and reflects her strong political views not only on current issues, but also pays homage to her own ancestors.
There are so many more images and a detailed profile on Penny Evans over at her website, it would be well worth a visit to her website listed below, and definitely recommend collecting Penny's gorgeous work!
Each time we visit one another's homes, we not only go into visual overload - looking through what the other is currently working on, but we are fortunate enough that her boys and my girls play beautifully together.
As Penny looks forward to her next toy from me, I too am planning which bowl is next on the list!
Currently, the school my children attend have the privilege of being involved with an Artists in School Project - which co-incidently Penny along side Luke are 'Exploring our Local Indigenous Culture'. With Penny and Luke's guidance the children have made things such as:- bush dolls, dot painting fish (mullet) templets cut from plywood and a built a Gunyah shelter just to name a few. Collecting sticks, seed pods, leaves and recycled materials and incorporating these into their work..
