Yesterday I went to the SLF ( Sustainable Living Foundation) Festival. It was really fantastic so many interesting stalls, talks, workshops ranging in all areas from Design, garden, food, craft and art ,environment and ecolodgy etc.
I found it hugely inspiring and humbling seeing so many different organizations all doing wonderful things, my bag was very heavy with brochures and pamphlets and I wanted to help them all out. Amoung them Friends of the Earth- launching a new Eco Market in Melbourne ,Wildlife Victoria, Transistion Towns, Landcare Victoria and my current crush organization Very Edible Gardens where I enrollled in a chook course and a permaculture course too.
And saw this lovely work by Siobhan McMahon

The phone dicrectory piece is really amazing!
oh wow! what a great festival.
I wish we didn't have things on, would have loved to go.
if you want some chook coaching, come on over Jess and get to know our girls.

Damnitt!!! Living in the sticks I miss out on all this good stuff... phooey! The irony of copious amounts of paper phamplets handed out at a sustainable living festival is not lost on my however... ;)
You say you're jealous of planters & figurines & a doll house... well I AM MORE JEALOUS of your adventure yesterday, really I am!
That looks truly awesome. Wow. I love those paintings - so pretty and beautiful and quirky. And those telephone books - sooooo cool. Wish I could have come with you!
Love the telephone directory art :)
Lovely stuff!
I like that pawtrait of a Snowy Bear!
I have only just realised you are in Australia!
I have relatives there, and a few blogger friends :@} I envy you some of your sunshine right now. I like picnics with honey sandwiches and ginger ale, and pretending by sitting and eating it on the carpet by the fire just isn't the same!
I love Siobahn McMahon's work - I've never seen it before you blogged about it but now I have to see more.
Thanks
