I have just completed a fantastic week of teaching at 'Fibre Arts Australia - Ballarat'.....I had a beautiful class of 7 students who worked very hard and lapped up what I had to offer. The week, (really 5 days), is full on with class time, fun times, exhibitions and lots of cross fertilzation between students and tutors alike.
Most of the attendees I have had conversations with come along to these fabulous events with the view to learning, sharing, being well fed, not having to do housework and doing what they love, creative arty stuff!
I'm now on my way to my creative sister in law, Nic's house, to do some work with JacQ on another collaborative project which is for the Blarney Book and Arts Biblio Award.....how much more fun can a gal have!!!!!
Hope everyone is steaming along with their current book!!
Cheers,
Peta
Welcome from the Whisperers
Welcome from the whisperers... The artists of the Whisper Collaboration invite you to share our journey. Twelve artists, each begining with a theme, will carry out a visual game of "Chinese Whispers". Our book pages will travel between us, each collaborator adding their own interpretation of the theme. The trick will be that only the originating artist will know what the theme is! It's up to the rest of us to decipher that theme only from the work of the previous artist and the set of 'page clues' that will grow as the collaboration progresses! Here on our blog, we will share images of the clues, and perhaps some other tantalising snippets of information...all adding to the intrigue. Join us, and see if you can guess each artists theme as the books progress!

A Clue from Sarah's Whisper....
Here is something I thought would be a good 'tease' from Sarah's beautiful work (Sarah - if you think it gives away too much I shall remove it). Even though I have long moved on to round two, I couldn't go past posting this clue for you all to see. I have found myself looking at the images I collected during 'my time' with Sarah's work over and over. The more I look, the more I see and the more I want to keep exploring. Thanks Sarah for the intriguing sojourn! Shhhelley x

A "Snippet" of Nanette
Nanette's first page arrived last month & I was so excited to open this first little parcel of creativity. It was colourful & daunting - almost confusing!!! And then it hit me - Oh My God - I am doing this again - it's torture looking at the pages for the first time & not having a single clue as to what you will do with it. It took me a while but I finally came up with something that I was happy with. (3 weeks later!) This is a "snippet" from Nanette's first page. This part is fairly obvious you may think, that is until you put the rest of the page with it! I have recieved Lindesay's page & Nanette's snippet last week & guess what?.?.?.?.? It's Ground Hog Day!!
