HUGE NEWS - Finders Keepers is coming to Melbourne! Check out their blog for all the details but it is October 9-10, 2010 at Shed 4, Docklands! You cannot miss this! QUICK! Go look!
I saw the Tim Burton Exhibition in New York last December and the folks who know me, know I’ve been gushing about it ever since. I went into it curious but not exactly a “fan”. I am now still 50/50 on his films but a complete convert to the imagination and creativity of this man - it is beyond inspiring and if I insisted that you see it, I couldn’t insist strongly enough. IT.IS.UNMISSABLE. It doesn’t matter if you’re into art. It doesn’t matter if you’re into film. You just have to be alive and interested in life to love it.
Do yourself a favour and thanks to We Make Stuff Good for this great little blurb.
When made’n’found first began, I knew there was one Australian crafter that I HAD to interview. It took a little time in her busy schedule but here it is…
If you ask anyone in the Australian art and craft community to name the most influential identities on the scene, the name Pip Lincolne will often crop up.
In 2009, when studying education, I watched a video on TED featuring a speech by Sir Ken Robinson. I’m going to assume most of you know who he is but if you don’t, his website is here. You can watch the video HERE - it’s the best 20 minutes you’ll ever spend. I was mesmerised and re-watch this regularly. He is BRILLIANT and his views on the importance of creativity make you want to stand up and cheer.
So here I am, sitting at the airport on the Gold Coast, waiting to fly home when I came across his new book: The Element. I’ve heard this is a pretty spectacular book so I just bought it. Stay tuned, as it is likely to be life changing for me, which obviously will be wonderful for made’n’found - everything he says/writes is inspiring. If you haven’t acquainted yourself with this wonderful man, please do - and he’s on Twitter, too!
