summer clouds

For the first time in forever, I’m actually looking forward to Summer. Its been such a long and dreary Winter, but Spring seems to be happening all about the place. So I’m sure it wont be long. So as I dream of warmer days this little number caught my eye. Made from white porcelain clay with gloss clear glaze, the holes are made by piercing the clay with the potters needles. You can choose your sterling silver chain length too. Yours for US$40.

I’ve taken to baking a wee bit lately. Be it cakes, cupcakes or sweets – I’ve been giving it a crack. I had been hamstrung when it came to trying certain new recipes as I’ve never owned kitchen scales before. Well all that changed today, as Timi brought me a shiny set for my very own… he’s the bestest! No more comparing visually to a stick of butter portions or converters online!!

I found this little guy amongst the Lab 305 crowd. I hadn’t looked on this site for a while, and it seems whilst I wasn’t looking they have significantly expanded their range. They have moved beyond basic laser cutting of perspex and moved on to plywood. I much prefer the wooden brooches, to the perspex ones. ‘Fixie‘ will set you back AUD$18.00, from this Melbourne based crowd.

Able and Game make cards and stationery that are quirky and cute rather than cliche and predictable. They are Melbourne based designers so that makes them extra special! I first saw their stuff when received a “i’d go to zone 2 for you” on my anniversary. I’ve notice these cards popping up all over the CBD. They are unique and each their own story to tell. They cards for for round USD$4 each, bulk discounts are available for their Etsy store.

junky project

I was walking back to the car after dinner on Elizabeth Street and I looked up at something hanging off the wooden telegraph pole. A quick picture, some admiration and I was on my way. Later I twittered the image and a mate sent me a link the junky project.

In the words of special agent junatronic: junky is an enigmatic street art avenger who creates creatures from the debris of society, then resurrects them onto wooden telegraph poles and other forgotten places around the globe, (well around Australia so far). All my work is made entirely from recycled or found objects except the nails, i can never find enough nails. I found that there was a bit of a following for my work here on flickr, so i decided to open an account and upload my documentation of this ongoing project. All hail the mighty junky army, for soon there global invasion will be complete. Piece.

Keep an eye out in Melbourne town, or any where through the east coast for that matter.

reading is sexy

I like you world just set up a online store and hooray for them! I’m very much looking forward to all of the everyday delights that they will fill the store with. The first little gem that I have my eyes on is this reading is sexy badge – it will set you back a cool AUD $39.00 plus postage. Each of the reading is sexy brooches are unique, as you can see below with slightly different fonts and cuts.

Keep an eye on the i like you store, they have some beautiful clothes, accessories and some very cool vintage camper shoes. If online stores are not your thing and you are in Melbourne try to visit their solid state shop, at 80 Johnston St, Fitzroy, Vic. 3065.

Melbourne Silver Mine Inc presents…

UNSENSORED09

AN EXHIBITION OF ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY

Collingwood Gallery 292 Smith Street Collingwood – 7-19 August 2009

Opening Night Friday 7th August 2009 at 6pm

Gallery times: Mon-Fri 12-8pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm

=================================================================
Now in its third year, The Melbourne Silver Mine’s UNSENSORED09 is the work of 44
artists using film in their photographic expression.

The spectrum of methods, genres and statements in the exhibited works are as broad
as the spectrum of artists, and visitors can expect everything from the polished to the lo-fi,
avant garde to traditional, shot on equipment from modern to nigh-arcane. Film is the
common thread in the group: each artist exploits the nuances of film-based capture in
tandem with new post-analogue processes and methods.

Works will be available for purchase during the exhibition, and many of the artists will
be present through the duration of the show and on opening night.

Unsensored07 saw 12 photographers presenting work, which doubled in 2008.
Unsensored expands once again in 2009, continuing to showcase new works by
emerging photographers. Unsensored09 is a project of The Melbourne Silver Mine,
a non-profit incorporated association based in Melbourne, Australia.

The group was formed by a group of enthusiastic analogue photographers. Its purpose
is to encourage and promote the continued use, unique features and appreciation of
traditional photographic techniques and equipment.

The exhibition features the work of the following photographers (all are members of the Melbourne Silver Mine)

Rhys Allen, Roberts Birze, Zaeem Burq, Lucian Chaffey, Dave Chin, Andrew J Cosgriff, Alistair Dickinson, Barbara Fischer, Peter Fritze, Ravnish S Gandhi, Tim Heraud, Nick Hinch, Michael Holbrook, Ross Holmberg, Paul Hocksenar, Bronwen Hyde, Hamish Innes-Brown, Skye Johnson, Timothy Johnson, Matthew Joseph, Michael Le Fevre, Jaye Loring, Giovanni Lovisetto, Iain Maclachlan, Chris Matterson, Jodie Noonan, James Oates, Vinnie Piatek, Ambre Pitt, Karen Riley, Ahmad Sabra, Jesper Sidhu, Cameron J Stephen, Paul Stoney, Ray Strong, Jesse Swallow, Reinis Traidas, Michael Verhoef, Christian Were, Katherine White, Damian Young, Rob Young, Jacqueline van Zetten and Chris Zissiadis.

=================================================================

I will be exhibiting recent works of the Heavenly Queen on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. Which was shot using my trusty Holga 120n and some expired Fujichrome Velvia 100 @ ISO 100.

Do come down and check it out!

forever skipping

jaye — Sat, 09 May 2009 04:29:41 +0000

The skipping girl vinegar sign would have to be one of my favourite Melbourne icons. As a little girl I can remember my father telling us to look out the window because the skipping girl was coming up ahead. Which would results in us eagerly press our faces against the window just to catch a glimpse.

On a recent visit to Ikea I noticed she was gone! I immediately began to despair, until I noticed there was some commercial signing and a giant over sized rope on the roof top where she last stood. As it turns out “little audrey” is undergoing a makeover commissioned by the National Trust with a little help from AGL.

Since the signs original erection in 1936 she is undergone some changes. Changing to an illuminated sign in 1970, and undergoing several switch on switch offs over the last 40 years. She has currently been switched off since 2001 and living at her current home above Victoria Street (just near the corner of Burnly St). I went to photographer her during a Melbourne flickr meet in September 2006, using the roof top carpark of the building next door. These are the shots that resulted.

There is much debate around the identity of the Cornwell’s Vinegar icon. Mystery still surrounds the identity of the real ‘Little Audrey’. Some say the model for the Skipping Girl logo was the local milk bar owner’s daughter. Others claim that she was modelled on a girl who later went on to become a nun in a convent near Frankston.

Who ever she is …I’m excited by the National Trust and AGL project to restore her back to her illuminated best! Looking forward to June. For more info visit skippinggirl.com.au.
