Definition of happiness





Days spent on the beach swimming, reading and day dreaming. Evenings spent alfresco dining with family and friends or cocooned in my creative world.

Current source of inspiration:
* After recently seeing Bright Star, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7IwhVQa8Uk Jane Champion's lavish adaptation of the romantic love story between poet John Keats and his lover Fanny Brawne a talented seamstress, I yearned to progress further with my blue and white quilt. The other evening whilst I was at Mum's house rummaging through some of our old sewing boxes, we found a series of bows that I use to wear in my hair as a school girl. I have decided to stitch these onto some of the squares in my quilt.
* The seascape along the Elwood foreshore provides a tranquil horizon to mediate upon and it's colours and scents are a constant source of inspiration. For some time I have been working in ceramic designs which interplay calligraphy, coastal foliage and feathers.
* Oil paintings - floral details
