Repost from @msjuliaholden of a prints for her opening on Thursday night the Sarjeant Gallery. I am the model for the ‘living painting’ in bottom right, Julias version of the Lindauer portrait of Victorian artist Kate Sperry. Was such a fun procedure, can’t wait to see the final prints later this week! #sarjeantgallery #juliaholden #lindauer #painting #recreation #awesome

Fern diptych just about done, need a little more polishing and then the next stop is to get it silvered and outdoors in the spot where it belongs! #glassart #engraving #drawing #ferns #mirror #fineart #whanganui #blackwhite
More rough ferns growing on my glass. Panel two of the garden mirror diptych, lots of work and polishing to do. Engraving when the weather is howling and creating its own storm around you is fantastic. #engravingstorm #glass #fineart #drawing #studio #ferns #glassart #mirror #whanganui #art
Studio weirdness, reflection from one of my mirrors #mirror #reflection #glassart #engraving #drawing #waterbottle
Panel one, stage one. Foreground ferns roughed out, Background ferns to cut now. This is part of a diptych for a beautiful garden and fernery and will be silvered to create a pair of mirrors. #mirror #engraving #ferns #drawing #fineart #glassart #studio #art #glassengraving #glass
What a treat, having @francesstachl upcycling old jewellery into something amazing for me to wear, so happy, can’t take it off except to take a pic! So wonderful to live in a town of amazing makers, love Whanganui. #contemporaryjewellery #francesstachl #upcycling #jewellery #gold #silver #handmade #beautiful
