christmas workshop


felt decorations from my christmas workshop assembly line. . .

i am not an assembly line lover! but i can attest to the efficiency of it, and i do like thinking about each piece and how to make it an individual. i'd like to have a little market stall or some such platform someday, so i should really get used to some semblance of an assembly line i suppose.

ah, handmade gifts to give - sometimes i think the term 'handmade' is funny because aren't most things largely handmade? and those people working under terrible manufacturing conditions are actually very skilled and efficient hand-makers of things, albeit anonymously, without reward and under deporable conditions.

i think like the term 'homemade' for things that are made locally or by an independent hand, at their home or studio. . .

Have a friend from Brisbane who is super creative so spent yesterday shopping and ended up with all sorts of bits and pieces, all of them main components for various projects...I have sent her the link for your blog I know she'll love it. Hope you and the family are well xxx
