busy busy

the GDUNH is keeping me very busy with sending orders and giving hints on the forum. I have some new products I would love to working on my I start my last practical placement for my Graduate Diploma of Education on Monday so it could be some weeks before I can really give any new products attention. The application for teaching in QLD has been taking a lot of my mind time too, making decisions of what are the best areas to apply in, where I might like to live and whether full time work is suitable for our family.
so not much time for my blog at the moment...

more GDUNH stock

this is the last on it unless I decide to make some during the month the hunt runs, which could be likely as I am loving dyeing at the moment, I love that it is unpredictable (painting is so predictable and safe) and I love that I can make something soft and fairy life one day, and something wild the next. So much versatility actually with dye. anyway, here is a pic or two. These rainbow spirals are all soft, neraly pastel in colour so the tees are not overpowering.

elements of my logo

for those who have asked, my logo comprises of elements from my hand dyed and painted tees I have made in the past year or so. I love animals being a bit of an animal liber, and Australian animals are truly unique. These are some of my favourites to date and what better images to have in my logo than my own!

inspired styles

Part of my new line includes mandalas inspired by timeless ideas and rituals of spiritual societies. These pieces are almost like artistic impressions or representations of yantras (magic symbols), fire yagnas (sacrifices), sand mandalas made by Tibetan buddhists and tribal and pagan images of fire dancing, tribal gatherings, initiations and corroboree events.
These pieces are also aimed at the crystal children being born at this time in the world. You can read more about them here. Here are some of my favourites so far from this new line.

This one is called fire yagna. 2nd one is flower and reminiscent of sand mandala of monks.


This is Lotus and is similar to yantras for the cosmos.

This doesn't have a name yet, but is similar to the Tibetan wheel of fire.

next field experience

I am due to start my next and final field experience in the 2nd week of August and it seems my Blue Card expires a week before. I am hoping with so many please, please, please please's that it will be renewed within the three weeks until I start prac. I am an optimist and am hoping the universe will provide me this small favour as I don't take or ask for much.
Graduation is in December and I am so happy it is nearly all over. I started studying the week my son was born and it has been a hard slog to keep motivated and on top of home life, family life, business and study. My application for teacher registration is almost complete for Qld and I am still waiting on my approval to teach in NSW.
