The process creates an object more beautiful than before.
Embracing the flawed and imperfect as it tells of a journey/history.<br />

When it rains, the moss fills the cracks in the concrete.<br />

The evening is a total blast with fast-paced, concise information/entertainment being thrown at you by a bunch of talented people. And I totally jumped at the chance to design the latest poster for Christchurch.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/mirabelo/pechakuchaposter_zps37f321c1.jpg" width="600" /><br />
<br />
The theme this time is the performing arts, which for me meant painting tiny acrobats and magicians. I couldn't have asked for anything better. <br />
<br />
Locals - get along to this! I know 6 of the speakers and I promise you, they will deliver - comedy, facts, art and glitter.<br />
<br />
You can view previous nights from Christchurch and other cities all over the world on the <a href="http://www.pechakucha.org/" target="_blank">Pecha Kucha website</a>. <br />

Heard some nice feedback the other day..<br />
Billy Connolly was in Christchurch a couple of weeks ago and went for a bit of a wander through Re:Start Mall stopping in at <a href="http://hapanz.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Hapa</a> where he saw my cards. The lovely ladies sent me an email to let me know he bought one of each design and roared with laughter - particularly over Owl Be Your Baby Tonight. <br />
I felt very, very chuffed. <br />
<br />
Thanks Mr Connolly for making a small little business swell with pride!Mirabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07670253465233846404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341436493243514754.post-13579123444042316602014-03-26T18:31:00.003+13:002014-03-26T18:32:05.134+13:00A new animal, a new pun<img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/mirabelo/IMG_0441_zpsf1efe215.jpg" width="600" /><br />

For our wedding, Gareth and I were utterly spoiled by our incredibly talented friends. They helped with everything! People donated tablecloths, fairy lights, jars, napkins, flowers, seeds, plates, glasses, their skills and time - including our wonderful friend and photographer <a href="http://www.emmabrittenden.co.nz/mirabel-gareth-chch-garden-wedding" target="_blank">Emma Brittenden</a> (go take a peek around her site).<br />
Without them the day couldn't have happened. Such marvellous people, we owe you big time. <br />
<br />
This banner was made for the day itself but now hangs above our bed.<br />
Thank you, my dearest Annie.<br />

For several months I have been going to pottery classes - every monday, just after lunch, with a mixture of women, at the Risingholme Community Centre. <br />
<br />
I think I touched clay just a handful of times while at university and have always been very nervous around it - the cracking, oh the cracking! It seemed my hands could suck the moisture out of a watermelon. But now ... ho ho! I love it.<br />
<br />
I've even had a go on the wheel and it feels like magic.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
* I now understand why there is such ugly pottery filling the secondhand shops - glazing is a mysterious, uncontrollable, full-o-surprises beast. These turned out completely different to how I intended. Learning, learning. <br />

Christchurch is coming out of a two day storm. Lots of flooding, rivers busting their seams.<br />

We have just returned from a weekend wander around the volcanic hills of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banks_peninsula" target="_blank">Banks Peninsula</a>.<br />
A belated honeymoon - and generous gift from Gareth's family; we slept in a valley under a tin roof and shooting stars; dined fancifully and deliciously in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akaroa" target="_blank">Akaroa</a> township; watched baby pukeko stretch their legs; and feasted on many a picnic in a chorus of birds and cicadas. <br />

<br />
Apparently this year heaps of cicadas emerged en masse - they were deafening, and so drunk on sunshine and life they happily bumbled into our heads.<br />
<br />

<br />
The two photos below were taken on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinewai" target="_blank">Hinewai Reserve</a> which we discovered as we took the scenic drive home. The reserve is 1230 hectares of gorse (I learnt all about it's positive attributes - native seedlings thrive in its shadow, don't ya know) and regenerating native bush. It includes 20 walking tracks open to the public and a great hut for overnight stays. Such a marvellous place. <br />

<br />Seven months have passed since I last called in. But oh what a few months they have been.<br />
I went to Europe, I saw a double rainbow, befriended a family of ducks, had a wedding, went to the beach, made some more cards and grew many flowers.<br />

The Dead of Winter Market was such a great day.<br />
My new cards were a hit and every sale warmed the cockles of my heart.<br />
And my trestle was lucky enough to be nestled next to my friends tables - sellers of terrariums and things for little ones - so lots of hooting and jovial hollering was had (as well as helpful toilet breaks).<br />
<br />
I'm also happy to say my cards are now being stocked in the Christchurch design shop <a href="http://hapanz.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">HAPA</a>. Pip pip!<br />

Hello hello,<br />
<br />
Come along to The Craft Collective's Dead of Winter Market this Saturday. <br />
I will be there with my cards - including three new designs (available soon on the interrrrnet), and some toys that I'm slowly piecing together in front of the telly.<br />
<br />
Heaps of other lovely folk will be there too.<br />
<br />

There is a clothing bin at the end of our street.<br />
Over the last few years it has been reappropriated as a general dumping ground. Check it regularly and you're bound to find something to your taste.<br />

There are many delightful plans a-foot. </div>

A possible business venture.</div>

8 week holiday in Europe. </div>

and a jolly wedding to plan. </div>

But right now I just want to drink my tea and watch the leaves dance. </div>

Ooh we bought some art.<br />
The sculptor is Misato Sano, a lovely lovely girl from Sendai. Here is a translation of her fantastic artist statement:<br />
<br />
<i>I have used dogs in my work to express the various facets of feminity (some of them are based on female statues I personally admire). Dogs are always loyal to their masters. I make my work with the hope that they will also nuzzle up to their audience. </i><br />
<br />
It's made from camphor wood so it smells amazing.<br />

Last night from 6-9 I sold some cards at the Craft Love Festival at Mairehau High School.<br />
It was a great night, a bit nippy outside, but I always have a blanket or two up my sleeve/in my car.<br />
<br />

<br />
And I was super super excited because I had made a <a href="http://allyourstarsareout.blogspot.co.nz/2012/06/300th-post.html">sock cat</a> during the week, just one lonely little guy - and he sold within 10mins. Thank you dear customer.<br />
<br />
I can't believe how happy it makes me when I sell something I have made. Just outrageously so. Mirabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07670253465233846404noreply@blogger.com0
