      <image:title>Blog - This is the one about COLOUR MIXING…. - At Samunnat, it’s more efficient and economical to mix our own colours and, besides, we all love mixing our own colours! To date, we’ve been using the now discontinued KATO clay (insert sad face!) our mixing colours were the three Kato primaries: Blue, Magenta and Yellow. Bless Donna Kato for making the range like this. We actually found that if we made what we called Mixing Blue (a 1:1 mix of blue and turquoise) and Mixing Yellow (Yellow with white…can’t remember the proportions but the Samunnat girls know!) our mixing was easier. Then, as well as Black and White, we also used Donna’s secondary colours: Green, Ultra Blue and Red. In addition, we used Orange, Brown, Purple, Pearl, Gold, Copper and Silver. Every colour we mixed was made with combinations of two or more of our 15 core colours.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is what my reel cover shots are like…an excited face and a colour!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - This is the one about COLOUR MIXING…. - Originally, I wanted to only use the 250g packets from one Cernit range, the Number One, but there is no good mixing magenta or blue in this range so I use some colours from the Opaline range. Unfortunately, the good mixing colours are not all available in larger packets which is hugely frustrating for me, not to mention expensive. I wish Turquoise from Number One was available in a 250g or, better still, 500g packet. Currently, only black and white are available in the 500g blocks. And I even more fervently wish that there was a good primary magenta in the Number One in 250g blocks.</image:title>
      <image:caption>So, what are my core colours using Cernit?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - This is the one about COLOUR MIXING…. - My memory is not good. I get distracted and easily lose track of the number of parts I have used so over time I have developed a technique to minimise my own confusion!!!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I sheet out the colours I am using to create my new colour, all at the same thickness. The cutter I use to measure my parts varies. If I think that there are only a few colours involved, I will use a larger cutter (bigger parts) than if I have many colours. BUT I am generally only mixing enough to make a sample tile to start with. I don’t need buckets of the wrong colour!!! So, for example, with my ecru colour, which I knew would have a lot of white (55 parts as it turned out!!) I used the smallest round cutter.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64991bff9205b3682c891af5/574d45cc-28df-4f69-94c7-725b98310777/IMG_0877.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - This is the one about COLOUR MIXING…. - This is an important bit!!!! I keep the sheet with all the empty holes as this helps me keep track of what I have used. If I need more, I DO NOT JUST RE-SHEET THE LEFT OVER COLOUR!!! I cut and condition more; and sheet that to keep track of numbers. AND I write things down on the way. I make a note of what thickness I have used in case I forget. Because sometimes I do and that would mean my parts were different!! You may have a much younger, sharper brain and not need to do this but can I just say, it is VERY easy to forget when you are adding a few colours at a time or taking a long time to gradually change a colour. Just saying. This photo shows what mixing my Blue-Purple Tint looked like! It was a good visual reminder that I used 3 parts of blue, 2 parts of purple and 5 parts of white!!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Thank you, to all concerned. - While I have no aspirations that anything I write will have the power of Andrea’s writing, in those few lines I felt kind of permission to let this blog be what it is…part journal, part (other people’s) poetry, lots of encouragement, sharing...almost a love letter to all of us hanging in here.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Thank you, to all concerned. - So much of what I rattle on about here, and the jewellery I make (or help others to make), is an expression of my wonder that I exist. That I am me. I mean what are the odds? Not to mention the hot minute when the odds of hanging around for a bit longer weren’t fabulous.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - A bus trip with Om - Before we left, Kopila plied us with chiya and eggs and beaten rice - a snack to sustain us for the journey (hopefully 3 hours).  We boarded the bus and there was the usual heated discussion about how much we’d pay and when we’d pay it.  Generally, people didn’t pay until they were at least halfway to their destination. This was reasonable given that reaching a destination on the bus you started with was not a foregone conclusion! You’d only pay the driver for getting you as far as they did.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And this happened more than you’d think.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A bus trip with Om - Perhaps it was the excited response to the idea of wipers but I also took the opportunity to promote the case for seat belts: Australian buses have seat belts.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - A bus trip with Om - (Buses were usually well packed, like this one for a Samunnat picnic. Some of you might spot some well-known faces.)</image:title>
      <image:caption>OM basically established the background of just about everyone on the bus and was about to begin her bus sleep when I realised that there was another difference that I could say in Nepali:  When you are in a bus in Australia, even when it is raining, you stay dry.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - This is not about old underpants - And I have been having enormous fun with my Posca pens. I think I can safely say they are more fun than ethically sourced undies. But you may be surprised to know that over the past couple of months, I started to wonder if my days of using polymer clay as an artistic medium were behind me.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - This is not about old underpants - What changed? Well, I did do something that wasn’t polymer. I played with my Posca pens on some origami paper and…perhaps inevitably… remembered very quickly how much fun this was on polymer.</image:title>

      <image:caption>No doubt my cortisol levels were dropping. My shoulders were relaxing and my heart was singing. But I wasn’t conscious of all that. I just felt good! I drew on my paper, mixed some colours, cut some shapes and wondered… …and realised that I needed a few more pens!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - This is not about old underpants - Then I remembered that I had a box of uncured polymer veneers set aside for Playing/ Layering and well…what do you know…</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - This is not about old underpants - I am hoping that locals will be as excited as I am about The Pumphouse.

And I want us to remember that we are all innately people who create.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Both emotions… - Most of you know that for nearly 20 years now, on my twice yearly trips to Nepal, I stay with Kopila Basnet and her family. She, Binod (her husband) and her daughters, Bibhuti and Mina, treat me like one the family, set aside a room and put up with me for weeks on end in a way that we don’t often do in the West.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Both emotions… - Suffice it to say that we text or talk daily and at one time I was ready to head over this month. We’ve all decided that our regular WhatsApps will keep us going until October and we’re all grateful for the technology that means we can talk for hours as we process this all and adjust to the new reality.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The process of working out how to live in the new now is slow and I am a little in awe of the three of them as they negotiate this.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Both emotions…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Often in times if intense emotion, happy and sad, I listen (and cry!) to the music of Sigur Ros. One of the absolute highs this month was going with one of my darling girls to listen to them live with the SSO in the Sydney Opera House. Obviously I cried but I was certainly not alone. There were a lot of blubbering fans. It was unbelievable. A very special moment. And when they played Hoppipolla (which I have already earmarked to be played at my funeral…hopefully not for a long time) there was barely a dry eye in the house!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Both emotions… - Another source of great joy has been the addition to our family of Bluey, a very chilled, calm, delightful rescue greyhound.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My parents and sister are mighty impressed by me (as they should be) because I grew up absolutely TERRIFIED of dogs. Actually, of most animals to be honest. My fear was eventually overcome by a succession of cats and a very rascally Labrador called Chora, the Nepali word for son. They would never have thought that the child who hysterically cried when she spotted a dog (or even dog poo!) would now be snuggling up with one while she watched TV!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Both emotions… - And then of course there is making and teaching! And there has been some of both which is good. And hopefully more soon so I will stop now and add more about that next time!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure - The East West highway is currently a minefield with diversions every 100m or so. But it’s a minefield with a purpose as the plan is that by 4 years, there will be a smoothly running 6 lane highway across the country. Replete with low flying piggies I suspect. To distract ourselves from the bone rattling ride we played one of our favourite games: What’s the funniest shop name?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fabulous contenders such as Face-Off Beauty Parlour, Fine Cafe, Decent Restaurant, Highway View were outclassed by Hotel Hygienic just between Dudhe and Jhiljhile. Says all you need to know.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure - We reached Dharan at dal bhat o’clock and the bus park eatery we frequented in our youth looked a tad run down. I enthusiastically pointed out a place called Hamro Bhansa, Sasto Bhansa. Climbing the stairs, I realised that my initial translation of Our Kitchen, Clean Kitchen was wrong and that it was in fact called Our Kitchen, Cheap Kitchen. Fortunately it was a Cheap AND Clean Kitchen and did a great veg set.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And of course the owner had relatives in Australia. Just about everyone we met had relatives in Australia. Probably looking after our sick and elderly. Our health system would not run without the Nepalis. That makes it hard for the Nepali health system!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure</image:title>
      <image:caption>Feeling full we headed to Ghopa Camp and the compound where we lived for four years. A friend who looked at a photo of our flat commented that it was a dump. As Mal said, But it was our dump and we loved it. The veggie man was the same and the old trees planted by the British Army when it was their camp still provided an air of genteel respectability. Shabby perhaps but refined.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure - From there we headed on the motorable road to Chatara which used to be the end of the road and the point at which you could get a punt across the mighty Koshi River. In our time here, it was another bone rattling ride across dried river beds but was now a pretty good road that continued over an impressive bridge all the way to Kathmandu! The road also continues beyond Chatara to the temple and that was our destination.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Motorable might be a generous use of the word to describe the road beyond Chatara but it was fine. And we could not have done the long walk we used to do to get here! It’s a beautiful temple complex in a really serene place with statues dating back to the 5th C. Pilgrims from all over Nepal and India come to visit and some try to lift a stone which it is said can only be lifted by the virtuous. Obviously we didn’t try and based on my observations of the lifting attempts, men are more virtuous. I’m sure they think they are too.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure - The temple is at the confluence of the Koshi Khola (River) and the Koka Khola. It tickles my fancy that I have been to the Coca Cola AND the town of Pepsi Cola which is near Kathmandu. Small things I guess….</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love a good suspension bridge and this was one. I love exploring little streets and alleys and discovering little vignettes of wonderful textures and colours. Today was hog heaven for me. As my Mal said, I’m still not over it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure - We needed more food and found a place that perfectly coordinated with my kurtha surwhal for black tea and sel rotis. We think it was the same place we had a dal bhat 15 years ago</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the neighbouring table a young couple offered us fresh turmeric and seeds that would purify our blood. We stuck with the sugary tea and sugary rotis but thanked them warmly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Wendy and Mal’s excellent adventure - And it would not have been worth living if we’d returned without Khuwa for the hard working family back in Birtamod. This is (gosh this was a sugary day) a traditional Nepali sweet that is basically condensed milk. Milk and sugar is boiled and stirred in giant woks until it reduces to create the paste that forms the basis of many Nepali sweets. It an be mixed with Cardamon and pistachio or eaten, as we all did when we got home, with beaten rice.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And now it’s now. Dust has been washed off and it’s back to work tomorrow. If you’ve read this far, thanks for indulging me you darlings!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A day in the life - After an early morning walk, often with Kopila, I drink several cups of black tea and then some sweet, spicy masala chiya. This is Nepali breakfast. Then, at around 9, I eat dal bhat, Nepali lunch. Dal bhat is a truly fabulous meal and generally consists of rice, lentil sauce (various kinds) veggies, achar (pickles), egg, sometimes yoghurt and salad. And the glorious pink drink you see in the photo is beetroot and carrot juice.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Traditionally, Nepalis eat with their hand and over the years this has become automatic and easy but is not what I do at home. Much. At the office, I’ll have some fruit and nuts and then I’ll have some spicy soup or beans in the evening. Many Nepalis would have dal bhat twice in the day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A day in the life - I used to always walk to the Samunnat office but crossing the East-West highway has become increasingly life threatening so now I often get an auto-rickshaw or sometimes ride on the back of Kopila’s scooter.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here’s Kathleen and me being farewelled by lovely Paiyal. You will note thatI am carrying some organisational aids. Those who know me know that I do love a good organise.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A day in the life</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes I’m teaching techniques or helping the women refine existing skills. We might work on new designs or do some problem solving. A lot of time is spent working out creative ways to get around multiple challenges! There’s stocktaking, stock management, and setting up and reviewing processes which are designed to make me increasingly redundant. There’s no local craft supply shop. We rely on the wonderful Karen Rhodes of Clay Alley who, for many years, has supplied our clay and a million and one other things that we get delivered to her place for her to send to us. It’s not always straightforward and deliveries can take from 4-6 weeks so we need to plan ahead!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A day in the life - The fabulous Kathleen Dustin is here with me this time which is so special. Kathleen visited two years ago and meets regularly with the women via Zoom. They’re thrilled to see her IN REAL LIFE again and love showing her what they have learned. It’s not just about learning techniques…Kathleen and I try to model an open, curious, exploratory and problem solving approach. And to explore ways that playing can lead to designs.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Creative risk-taking, learning from mistakes and having the confidence to deviate from rules are not encouraged in Nepal so it has been exciting to see the women learning about all these things!! And to feel confident to critique what we do!!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A day in the life - To be honest, I feel quite emotional typing this. To be able to do this…and for so long. I have known some of these women since they arrived at Samunnat feeling scared, overwhelmed, lost and defeated. To see them now…vibrant and strong; mentors to other women, advocates and encouragers and artists…this is something I feel so fortunate to be witnessing. There’s a lot of S*&amp;t going down in the world right now and life can be hard and confronting and challenging here but seeing the determination and exuberance of these women is a joy.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - A tiny bit more about Words of the Year - These are some of my examples of conditional living: I’ll relax when I’ve cleared up this mess….I’ll head to the studio when I have a few hours to work there….I’ll get back into exercising after things are less busy….I’ll be happy when this, that, or the other thing is sorted and resolved…I’ll choose my word of the year when the planets are in alignment, the moon is blue, the candle flame is at one cm etc etc.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m exaggerating. A little. But sometimes I put a lot of conditions on things and that shifts my focus to a vague, potentially perfect future rather than the actually occurring, imperfect now…and that doesn’t work for long.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A tiny bit more about Words of the Year - Conditional living’s close cousin (in my case) is perfectionism. It shows up like this: Perhaps I could choose a word better than RELEASE. More perfect. Less clichéd and new age-y. Deeper. I could go on and on.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fortunately, I woke up pretty fast to what was happening in my head, and I knew that I had to embrace RELEASE. I knew that it would be a juicy, useful word for me. It’s only February and RELEASE is teaching me a lot!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A tiny bit more about Words of the Year - I know from experience that if I reconnect regularly with my WOY, I learn a lot about my self and my finite, imperfect life. in 2025, I know I will discover things it will help me to release and new ways to understand releasing. The secret will be in remembering the word.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And having some reminders (like a Word of the Year Mini Retreat!) can really help.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A tiny bit more about Words of the Year - This year I am combining my love for making amulets and vessels with my passion for Words of the Year. My younger daughter Jen (*the teacher of that wonderful restorative yoga class) and I have created a mini retreat to explore words of the year and help a group of women to create lovely, tiny vessels.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each vessel will be beautiful, functional and unique. People can keep their chosen (or decided!) word in it or…do something totally different with them. Either way, we hope people have a wonderful, playful, reflective and creative afternoon!! With yummy snacks.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Facing Consequences - It was all about facing consequences. The consequence of trying to keep all the things in case I used them one day was that I could only fit one table in for teaching. It came down to what gave me most joy…but not in a Marie Kondo way!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I realised just how much I love teaching and how important it was to me to try to make it a bit easier for people to get creativity and connection into their lives. This was more important than keeping something just in case. It was a bit of a metaphor!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Facing Consequences - Oliver Burkeman reminded me (not personally obviously but via his book) that the only way to live authentically is to acknowledge that you’re inevitably making decision after decision and that those decisions should take into account the fact that you are a finite human being. He reminded me to live a limit-embracing life!</image:title>
      <image:caption>This sounds so commonsense and so basic but I have spent years trying to have a red hot go at doing it all. And being frustrated when I inevitably couldn’t. Ironically, I actually like limitations when I am creating. Limit my materials or give me something to make jewellery to match and I’m in heaven. Suddenly the range of choices is reduced, I make some decisions and off I go. How slow am I to embrace this in real life?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Facing Consequences - It takes creativity to live a life that embraces restrictions and limitations. And they are really what make our lives unique.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My word of the year is RELEASE and this was very appropriate as I released attachment to some things and even to beliefs about how the next few years might look and did the needful. In a way, decisions became more simple.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Facing Consequences - I haven’t done a separate rave about the Women Empowering Women trip last year but it was an absolute cracker and I have posted a few photos to give you the vibe of the thing.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’ve ever thought One day I’d like to do one of those Nepal trips with Wendy why not make 2025 the year that thoughts become deeds. Obviously, I hope to be doing these trips for as long as I can but look…we all know life can throw us curve balls and things change so if you can do it this year, do! Go here for information details about how to book. Mwah. Thanks for being here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Back on the bike! - In this most recent class, we began exploring the vast world of colour. We talked about different colour theories and how they applied when mixing bespoke colours, creating palettes that sing, and matching favourite pieces of fabric. (Or a tile in one case!!)</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Back on the bike! - We also talked about the links between mental health and creativity. I may have mentioned the fabulous Creative First Aid book on the odd one or 50 occasions.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the smile of a woman who, having never really done much with polymer clay, walked away with one necklace, one brooch and two pairs of earrings! Talk about over-achieving! Before the class, K wondered if she had creative bone in her body and realised that yes, like all of us, she absolutely has!! Several. (I must sound like a cracked record reminding people that creativity is INNATE. Have I mentioned that before? Yes I have!! Here.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Back on the bike! - L had huge fun creating earrings to match a favourite scarf. We explored the impact of form and using contrast as a design element and everyone loved the sculptural quality of these earrings.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes (well often!) there’s an element of engineering that has to be considered and having a playful, open and experimental approach really helps!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Back on the bike! - KA knitted her fabulous cardigan and wanted to create equally fabulous earrings to coordinate.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once again, there was lots of exploration and play and many design elements were discussed in the process. As a teacher, to have students smiling like this is just the best thing! I’ve got a few classes coming up before I head back to Nepal in late October so head to the shop to find out more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste…greetings from Nepal…Option B - For a while now, the goal has been to assist the polymer artists from Samunnat Nepal to become increasingly independent in areas of design. Not all of the women have had the opportunity for much education, and even those who have, have had very little exposure to ANY kind of teaching about art or design. Art, if taught at all in schools, is colouring in or copying and only happens at the lower class levels. The language around colour and design is limited and there are the cultural issues to take into account too. Artisans are revered for faithfully and skilfully duplicating traditional designs rather than innovation. I wrote a little about this here.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have mentioned before about the (WONDERFUL!!!) Zoom sessions with Kathleen Dustin and Christine Dumont where we are learning and applying the theory and practice of design elements and principals. We also have continuing education about colour theory and in this photo, I’m talking about that using fabulous resources developed by Tracy Holmes in her Breakthrough Colour program. These have been quite revolutionary! I am so grateful to Tracy for allowing and encouraging me to use them in this way!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste…greetings from Nepal…Option B - It’s not all learning and work. A highlight of this visit for all of us was when the travellers from the fabulous WEW trip came for a polymer lesson. We did loads of preparation and there were many rehearsals and lots of planning and I was so so proud of the women. And, what’s more important, is that they were so proud of themselves!</image:title>
      <image:caption>They guided a group of women, most of whom had never touched polymer clay before, in making a themselves a wonderful pair of earrings. Everybody loved the class and the joyful, dance filled picnic we all had together the next day! We’ll be doing a lesson again for travellers on the trip I am leading in November. This one is fully booked but we are taking expressions of interest for 2025.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64991bff9205b3682c891af5/1d3dc6b3-196a-4797-a420-4dc3e1e04273/IMG_6016.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - Namaste…greetings from Nepal…Option B - Another thing that bought me great joy was when the women witnessed several enthusiastic shoppers wanting to buy one necklace! This necklace was special and there was only one sample! This was one of three necklaces totally designed by the women and based on their own inspiration. A humble (but fabulous!) red bean. I am still in disbelief that the name of this bean appears to be, simply, ….bean! Surely it should be Nepali version of Ruby Treasure or Blood Lust Bean or SOMETHING a bit more exotic that…bean. Even Lazy Housewife is at least more interesting! If dreadfully sexist.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was a really interesting teaching moment, because one version we could have sold several times. The two remaining didn’t evoke any interest and there was a really interesting discussion when the travellers left as to why that may have been. It also led to the women re-designing the remaining necklaces with a GORGEOUS result which was snapped up in seconds by an enthusiastic local buyer. Me!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste…greetings from Nepal…Option A! - There was quite a long time several years ago when home was a hospital bed and beyond that there was no home! We’d rented out our place in Australia and had been in Nepal for 6 months when visa issues meant we suddenly had to return to Australia, leaving our Nepal life packed into 6 suitcases! Then I got ill and the prospect of returning to Nepal looked unlikely.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Years of planning seemed pointless and I realised I basically had no control over my circumstances. I also learnt how unhelpful it was to have based so much of my happiness on those uncontrollable, changeable circumstances. (Photo: Sagarmatha/ Chongalongma/ Mt Everest from the plane. I’ve lost count of how many times I have seen this, and I still get emotional! )</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste…greetings from Nepal…Option A! - This was a tough lesson and I needed remedial classes. Maybe I am a very thick student. Now I remind myself every day that everything ends and that change is inevitable. I know how precious this shot at life is. I remind myself that, while I can’t control the circumstances of my life, I can try to control how I respond to them. And training my mind helps with that!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently I have been revisiting the 59 slogans for Training the Mind. These are also called the Lojong slogans and while these are from Buddhist writings, they are (like a lot of Buddhist teaching) very accessible to non Buddhists. For me, they are a way to take the benefits of mindfulness meditation from the cushion into my daily life. (Photo: Breakfast!)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste…greetings from Nepal…Option A! - I first started to learn the slogans during that really tough time. Over the years since, I remembered some very well and come back to them again and again, but I’d forgotten a lot of them and wanted to review them with a commentary by Norman Fischer, a Zen Buddhist.</image:title>
      <image:caption>People often come to places like Nepal seeking enlightenment…or being awake to what is in each moment. What the slogans emphasise is that it is the gritty (often mundane) stuff of life anywhere that is the path to being awake. And that being awake is a moment by moment thing. Now, when something unexpected, unplanned or unhoped for happens, I think I remember sooner that it’s another chance to see what’s happening for what it is. I hope that by practising with the small things, I’ll be better at doing it with the big stuff. Again. Photo: We all wore samples of our jewellery when the travellers came!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Classes are GO!!!! - I’ve never been a fan of teaching (or learning) in a class where everyone learns one or two techniques and completes identical projects. I’m keen to provide a space where people also learn different ways to use techniques so they can create something that is uniquely them. Being able to be a bit flexible, provide lots of one-on-one and give people some freedom to explore can only really happen in smaller groups which is one reason I love working in semi-private groups.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Classes are GO!!!! - Obviously I do teach techniques but I also weave in opportunities to learn about the principles and elements of design. I’ll provide lots of support and structure but will also encourage people to be creatively curious and open! As with the classes I ran in Canberra, materials will be provided and class members will have access to the tools in my studio. And so much more!</image:title>
      <image:caption>(My grand daughter models a fabulously curious and fearless approach to making! She learns the occasional tip from me and I am reminded to experiment fearlessly by watching her!

      <image:title>Blog - Classes are GO!!!! - There’ll also be the chance to learn about finishing things off so they look really classy and we’ll explore ways to build creativity more regularly into our messy, busy, lives (speaking for myself!

      <image:title>Blog - Trade Offs and Teaching - I approached a beautiful, local gallery with some of my art recently. And I am thrilled to now have some of my pieces at the wonderful Beechworth Contemporary Artspace. If you know me, you’ll know this took a bit of courage. Interesting how encouragement helps develop courage. Thanks team!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Trade Offs and Teaching - And…don’t faint…I’m starting classes in April. I’ve (finally) decided to hold semi private classes (4 people) in my studio here at home. These classes will almost certainly be on the first Sunday of the month between (and including) April to October. Pretty much. I will do a whole post about classes soon and you’ll be able to book places in the shop section once I have published that. I promise I will do that before I head to Nepal later this month. I’m also happy to negotiate other dates with a group of four if you organise one. Given the logistics fo Nepal travel and Christmas etc, most of my teaching will take place between April and October.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Trade Offs and Teaching - I’ve been having fun mixing a colour palette using some dhaka fabric from Nepal. I’ve made a teeny weeny little range of pieces (I think it’s called a micro range if you are into to that!) and these are in my online shop. You can find them here. I find the whole process of matching and making the colours very relaxing. A kind of play. It’s been made a whole lot easier by the learning I’ve done with Tracy Holmes and her Breakthrough Colour Cards. People who’ve been to classes will know my beloved colour cubes!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - For the Artist at the Start of the Day (or year!) - Greetings from Covid central. We shared more than goodwill at Christmas in our family. I wanted to write out a beautiful blessing for you all but formatting it is proving beyond me at this point in my recovery, so I am just posting the link and some photos from various Nepal trips!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - For the Artist at the Start of the Day (or year!) - This blessing is one of the many beautiful ones by John O’Donohue in his lovely book To Bless the Space Between Us. I am using this more and more in the practice of cultivating compassion! The other book I started to read at my sister-in-law’s place in Sydney and have now ordered for myself is Charlotte Woods’ The Luminous Solution. A cracker. I adored Stone Yard Devotional too.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - For the Artist at the Start of the Day (or year!) - When I have more energy I might write about my word of the year. For the first time in two decades I have chosen one rather than selected one at random. (But do let me know if you’d like me to select one at random for you from my assortment of cloud words!) My word is Cultivate. Bit more of that later. For know, here’s the blessing….</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste to all! - Here’s a missive from the place I consider my second home… Nepal! And those of you dear readers who plan to join me here next year might get some sneak previews! It’s been fabulous…chaotic, frustrating, exciting, colourful, energising, exhausting, inspiring and the time is going so fast!!! The usual things. One priority for this visit, while being flexible to new and emerging situations(!), has been to help the polymer artists of Samunnat Nepal to consolidate the learning they’ve been doing via Zoom with Christine Dumont and Kathleen Dustin about design elements. We’re exploring these as a way of equipping the women, helping them to discover tools to make thoughtful design decisions and become increasingly independent in this aspect.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste to all! - It’s not all polymer. In this photo, Kopila and I are buying naphthalene balls from a gorgeous Tibetan woman. Well Kopila is negotiating the price and I am trying not to ogle the woman’s magnificent necklace of turquoise, amber and coral. I’m also recalling the practise of wearing a washer on your head. This is not uncommon for women of a certain age in Dharan. I always thought that the day I popped a washer on my head might be the day I knew it was time to return to Australia.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste to all! - Part of our goal has been to work out the Nepali vocabulary to discuss our ideas. Sometimes exactly the right word doesn’t exist (This goes both ways!). The kindest way to describe my Nepali would be that it’s basic and enthusiastic. Sometimes wildly inaccurate but nearly always good for a laugh. We’ve managed to come up with suitable Nepali words for some things and use the English for others. The women are excited to be discovering a new range of tools and can see how this will help them make intentional choices. The earrings they made here were to explore analogous colour combinations and the design element of pattern. They made strips of different patterns using Pan Pastels and white clay and then decided how to arrange them to create a pleasing and cohesive whole. They loved that these looked like Sari fabrics.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Namaste to all!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We also explored shape, size and value contrasts with achromatic and monochromatic colour schemes. Some of you will recall doing something similar in Canberra classes! The women are getting more adventurous and more confident to try their own designs (not just copy what one or two of the more confident ones are doing!) which is fabulous.</image:caption>

    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64991bff9205b3682c891af5/9e644c29-f963-4ede-9421-3db83a1201b8/IMG_4812.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - Namaste to all! - Nepalis are justifiably proud of daaka, a traditional hand woven fabric used fo the topis (hats) worn by the men and lots of other clothing including saris. Daaka designs can be very intricate and often vary from region to region. On our tour, we’re able to visit a workshop where the fabric is made and see the complicated looms and the beautiful designs emerging.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64991bff9205b3682c891af5/73be5460-d3a7-4494-943a-90000611b988/IMG_4784.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - Namaste to all! - The colour of the warp thread makes a big difference (it’s usually black or blue. White is very prized) and we explored the impact of this in colour mixing exercises. Again, the women are working on their own designs, taking into account the complexity fo the fabric design. It is so exciting watching them make decisions and being able to talk about WHY they are doing certain things.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ll sign off with a few photos of various expeditions! I am here with wonderful Janice Laurent who is teaching another group of women sewing skills. With the lovely Kopila, we did some reconnaissance trips for next year and got a bit side tracked by Tibetan medicinal spices and brass. And fabrics. And fruit and vegetables! We were often asked by older women if they could take a selfie with us. Even though our jewellery was nowhere near as fabulous as theirs!! We’re the only two silver haired biddies in the east it seems. And as it was the Diwali season, everything was festooned with marigolds making for a truly GORGEOUS array fo colours. Feast your eyes babies!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Looking and layering - As those of you who follow me on Instagram would know, I’ve spent a far whack of time lately making veneers based on the leaves I collect on my walks. It starts with boring old white clay* and pastels. Then I use a combination of techniques like silk screening and texturing and scratching back surfaces and distorting and layering, layering, layering. My goal is to recreate the colours and textures of each leaf. I may not always get it exactly the same, but it’s the vibe of the thing! It has been a challenge for me to just keep creating these veneers and ignore the voice telling me to MAKE something from them! Quite possibly, I will eventually make something but I want to discipline myself to explore without that pressure of productivity. Tough for li’l old me!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Looking and layering - It’s not the sort of thing where I can make detailed notes so that I can make exactly the same veneer another time. Nor am I a detailed note kinda girl. It’s more that I record (loosely!) my observations about what happens when and seeing if it applies in various contexts. I try to stay light and curious and exploratory. What happens when I make this the base colour and press this tool on top of it then silk screen over that? What happens when I impress the whole thing with a coarse fabric and dust a deeper coloured pastel on top? What happens when I run ALL this through the pasta machine at a thinner thickness? What happens when I put this shade over this tint?</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Looking and layering - A couple of the leaves have had these fabulous magenta spores on them. Even if I sprayed them, the spores shrivel so the photos are not accurate and my recreations are of the spores in the state they were when I collected them.Surprisingly bright!! I could make a heap of just these!!! I feel a collection coming on!</image:title>
      <image:caption>My poem of the week is Dear Failure…gosh this one resonated. Here’s a bit but read it all! I so want to get it right, this showing up for the people I love. I so want to get it right, this longing to be enough. Oh failure, I have not wanted to learn your lessons, have wanted to believe I could fix, could be all…. Each time I fall, you reach out to take my hand saying, Fail on, sweetheart. Wouldn’t you like to try again with your loving?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Looking and layering - For the polymer people…I’m using a lot of white Cernit or Premo and Pan Pastels. Melanie Muir’s textures have been WONDERFUL and I’ve used Moiko and Lucy’s silk screens. Possibly in very different ways than intended! Those who’ve done my classes will know that the MOST often used texture tools are the bits and pieces in the boxes! Pen tubes, computer bits, sticks, hardware things…the usual, unusual suspects! Stay curious and open my friends.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Look at moi*…and some offerings - I describe myself as an introvert who makes extroverted jewellery. And some of my danglier pieces could be described as attention seeking. But these pieces are not really saying look at me…the wearer. As I walk through the bush most days, I hear voices…Look down here. Can you believe this green near this pink? or This ragged edge on this rock! Unbelievable. Or Look as those colours in the feathers of this bird. I’m reminded of a line by Barbara Kingsolver, Be still, and the world is bound to turn herself inside out to entertain you. I’m not so self centred to think that the world turns herself inside out for my benefit but I do think she shares her gorgeousness. And if we listen, we can hear her calls to look!! Lots of what I make starts with Look at me!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - It’s happening again…the pink leaf thing - I’m recently back from Broken Hill and might write about that in another post. It was an EXCELLENT time, great to get back to the desert, wonderful to catch up with darling friends (hello Deb!!) and a bit of a turning point for me creatively. Maybe it’s part of the reason why I’m collecting pink leaves again. I suspect pink leaf collecting means I’m feeling connected. Grounded in a good way. Most mornings I walk down to the mighty Murray River. Sometimes I head north east into Victoria (sounds fun saying I walked interstate) passing the community gardens where I say Namaste to the Bhutanese refugees who may be working there. Other times I head west along to some fabulous wetlands. And whatever the direction I listen to the glorious sounds of the birds and watch for them darting in the gums. Occasionally, I wonder if I am the only person in Albury who has an action plan for what to do if there is an earthquake while I am on the part of the walk that goes under the causeway. Clearly, if there was a big earthquake*, I’d probably be stuffed. But that hasn't stopped me working out what I’d do. The effects of my experience in Nepal’s 2015 earthquakes linger.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - It’s happening again…the pink leaf thing - I find myself really drawn to the imperfect pink leaves…the pitted and scarred; the patchy and chewed; the mottled and speckled.. I collect ragged leaves with distorted shapes, marvelling at the array of colours in one small leaf. Or one surprisingly big leaf.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - It’s happening again…the pink leaf thing - Something’s brewing. I’m not sure where it’s leading but I’m in that state which is that delightful combination of hard work, exploration and play. Focussed curiosity. Building on old techniques and ideas and trying out new ones. Let’s see where it takes me. BTW, for those interested, I’ll be teaching again next year! I’ll be doing classes at the fabulous Art Partners studio in between Nepal trips (March to September) and am very excited about that! There’s other possibilities as well but for now this is looking good! I’ll let you know closer to the dates. *Not likely but there was an earthquake felt in Albury earlier this year according to the lady at the IGA!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - And speaking of Spring… - It has been a very Samunnatty few weeks! We (Samunnat Inc in this case) have reopened our US shop, launched our utterly divine flower brooches, got our Zoom based Design lessons back on track and made travel plans. And doesn’t that feel weird!? Planning ahead like that? But, first things first. Our US shop was in resting mode while our darling Kathleen Dustin recovered from a very nasty bike accident. Like all of us of a certain age, Kathleen was frustrated with how much longer recovery takes when you are of a certain age. Bugger the certain age shite eh? Thrilled that she’s going well now. The flower brooches began their lives when Kathleen and I were in Nepal in March. The women learnt a wonderful new cane which incorporated scraps and then used it in a design that Kathleen helped them develop. Working out how to actually produce these in a consistent and cost effective way was transformed thanks to the generosity of Gill Scott (Clay Lady Down Under) who made and donated FABULOUS cutters exclusively based on our designs. Brooches were made, glitches were unglitched, hitches unhitched and, finally….the brooches are ready to sell. They really are magnificent and if you want to see more of the range, head here. Talk about Springy!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - And speaking of Spring… - We (that is the Samunnat girls and me) were meeting monthly via Zoom with Kathleen and gorgeous Christine Dumont. The aim has been to help the women strengthen their design skills; to help them be able to understand better why some things work and some things don’t and to be able to independently and confidently make good design decisions. We’ve been working through the principles and elements of design…laboriously trying to translate these into Nepali where possible and explaining and experiencing them when a common language needed to be developed. Each lesson is shared, translated, turned into a Canva tutorial, translated and then the women create some work based on the particular principle. This had got a bit scatty due to the vicissitudes of life but we’re back on track now. After the lesson, the women spend some time making their own designs and we all meet again and talk about how the stuff they have learnt was applied and could be used more. It’s been fantastic and so exciting to watch as the women have got more and more understanding!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - And speaking of Spring… - I was disappointed this month that we had to cancel the Colourful Journey slated for November this year. We had, perhaps, left our run a bit late with advertising and post COVID travellers seem to need MUCH more notice. We didn’t have enough people able to travel in 2023 so it just wasn’t viable for my darling Bishnu to run. BUT….excitingly, the two trips for next year are almost full! Lovely Sarah Bartam has a full group going in March and I have only got one space left for November. AND we already have interest for 2025. So that’s super exciting. As a women who has had travel plans cancelled due to cancer and COVID I am well aware that THINGS HAPPEN but it is nice (albeit a bit weird) to make some longer term travel plans. I still head over in November this year for the usual Samunnat gig. (Photo shows a few lovers of adornment at a little place on no maps called Bhedetar. You are never too remote to wear fabulous jewellery are you, CV?) And…I am in preliminary discussions with a local gallery owner about classes so watch this space!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Scattered thoughts - I always mean to write a profound, amusing, thought provoking, fabulously constructed, life changing post. Clearly I have learned to live with disappointment. But I do at least try to not be too scattered. Bad luck for you today because I feel like that is my life right now….a bit scattered. My narky inner voice tells me YOU LACK FOCUS. Another inner voice (there’s a crowd, believe me) says your life is rich in variety, truly abundant in diverse and seemingly unlinked experiences. However I describe it, it’s not neat and tidy! (See accompanying photo of my workspace recently. Also not neat or tidy. But colourful and fun! Edited to look less chaotic.) There’s just getting on with living (always a tad messy) and gardening and travelling and walking and making and Samunnat-ting and the general body/ mind maintenance activities that are part and parcel of an ageing body. Thank goodness I feel like there’s an underlying thread. At the moment it happily hangs together thanks to poetry.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Scattered thoughts - My mother, a lover of poems and threads, got me onto a fabulous website* (link below because I am heeding the advice of website gurus not to direct people away from your site to less scattered ones) where the author published a poem every day for several years. These poems were all chosen because they help to deepen…engagement with this moment we have. I am all for anything that helps me to be more mindful, so each morning I read a poem before I start my journalling and meditation. It’s been one of my better life decisions…even on the mornings where the work of a particular poet (let’s call her Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, just say) has led me down a rabbit warren of reading poems and listening to her TED talk and writing copious musings so that consequently the productive part of the day all starts later than planned!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Scattered thoughts - Choosing a poem a day, or writing a poem a day got me thinking about what a great creative it prompt was for me when I was mixing a colour every day. So I’ve decided to do this again. This time the “rules” are as follows: Make a new colour using Cernit each day. ONLY use some or all of the following colours: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow**, White and/ or Black. One week of pure hues, one week of tints, one week of shades and one week of times. Then repeat! Colour names will reflect the recipe: C,M,Y,W,K More on the details later and I’m hoping that after a few months I’ll have some wonderful Cernit colour recipes. I’ll also have learnt a lot about working with Cernit which is newish to me! Watch this space folks! Those who are interested in the recipes can drop me a line. I might publish a 4 weekly summary for those here for the polymer ride! These seemingly unrelated photos reflect bits of my scattered, abundantly varied life!! Our BEFORE VEGGIES garden shot and bits and pieces I made while humming Tom Waits’ song You Can Never Hold Back Spring. I’m wearing some of the earrings now and loving myself sick. *The whole poetry thing began with a note that slipped out of a book I had given mum and dad for the library where they live. That’s a whole other blog post really but here’s the site I mentioned before. Give yourself peace and time and a massive treat!!! Here it is! And here is the site for Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer if you are looking for a rabbit warren of wonder. **For you polymeristas, I am mixing Cernit Yellow Number One with Opaline Primary Yellow 1:1 because the #1 yellow is too….yellow!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Just a quick one! - Well thank you to all you gorgeous people who’ve subscribed to my blog!! I have taken the liberty of manually subscribing those of you who commented on blogs in the past so feel free to unsubscribe if this shift was going to be your big chance to do so. But I do hope though that we can keep in touch like this!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am planning to do a little subscribers sale as a prelude to eventually posting some new pieces in my shop. Which is currently empty so DON’T GO THERE as we say! Soon… one day…fifteen days (which is the Nepali version of one day!). I’ll let you know when pieces are up. They’ll all be in colour batches, markedly reduced and there will be free shipping if you get more than two things! Think Christmas and sit tight. Now this might look suspiciously like rampant self promotion but is also Sage Bray promotion! And it’s not like I haven’t done that before!! Sage interviewed me for her podcast and for anyone interested, you can listen here. We chew the fat about all sorts of things and those who know me well will hear riffs on my usual preoccupations but Sage makes great observations and is a fabulous conversationalist and we laughed a lot! In my nervousness I aged myself by about 15 years (never was good at maths) but managed to only swear once. Or maybe twice at the most. That’s it for now. Think of this as a listening blog post more than a reading one!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The problems of preciousness…. - I recently listened to a podcast by Sage Bray that talks about preciousness and it got me thinking that part of my drivenness might be related to a sense of preciousness.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I can be a bit precious about a lot of things and this sometimes stuffs me up. I can be especially precious about time and materials and my efforts and all sorts of things and I realised that this preciousness really impacts on my capacity to explore and play. I decided I needed a little ritual to remind myself, every time I sat down in my studio, that while my time and materials etc ARE precious, so is experimentation and play and exploration! So now I try to remember to pause before I start and light some incense and say, OK you silly git, time is precious, materials are precious but so is play and exploration blah blah blah. Obviously I don’t speak like that to myself. I am kind and open and compassionate with myself at all times. Ha Ha! The actual words are evolving but it is the pause that’s important. just remembering that I don’t have to make something worthy of selling. Or perfect!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The problems of preciousness…. - In the spirit of keeping it light, exploratory and curious, I’ve spent some precious time in the studio mixing colours inspired by a gorgeous print by Sophie Munns, whose work I love.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And then I just let myself play with those colours. I was vaguely thinking about a friend’s birthday and the possibility of earrings but set no DEMANDS. And it was fun! I made canes (which I love doing but haven’t for a while) and went for the intricate and the broad. As it turned out, my friend did get some earrings from this little range. I’ll do a bit more with these colours and ideas and then let myself float somewhere else!… You can find the podcast here and find more of Sophie’s work here.</image:caption>
