How to make a straight-jacket, and so on.

Lolly badges... coming up in my shop

Thanks to Threadbanger for this tempting DIY on how to make a straight-jacket. Go crazy? Don't mind if I dooooo!

Did anyone see Johnny Depp on the Graham Norton Show? Could he be any more likeable? I love the stories of his friendship with Hunter S Thompson, especially the crazy stuff at Thompson's Colorado ranch. Even his funeral, ashes shot into the stratosphere by a cannon, was financed by Johnny Depp. Now I wonder if any of my friends love me enough to shoot me out of a cannon...

I'm looking forward to seeing if the film version of 'The Rum Diary' lives up to the hype. I loved the book, as I've loved all of Thompson's books.

Happy Gonzo Friday!

Viola does Cindy, and so on.

Just lately...

This amazing photo series Response to Cindy Sherman, by Viola Renate. Exhibiting now in Amsterdam... sigh.

The Dainty Squid, fellow op-shop obsessive, who has the best hair, and makes me unwisely want to dye mine pink or something...

This is never not funny....

I don't do windows

Instead, a liquid chalk pen to make designs on the glass. This draws the eye away from the dirt! Right?

Verbs are doing words

Seeing spots... and cherries?

This loveable bit of fluff was a Halloween commission from a talented photographer who lives in Melbourne (and just happens to be my lil brother's girlfriend!). It's the first double-layered apron I've made, and it worked so well! Considering my usual results making my own patterns... it's a WIN!
