WINNERS


Fifteen minutes ago (5.15pm  Australian Eastern Summer Time), an independent competition official put all the names of  the blog/Facebook  giveaway participants  into a quirky container.
A little shake to ensure all the cards are evenly distributed. 

 Just making sure - a bigger shake
 Picking the first winner who is .... drum roll... Super Jen . Congratulations, Super Jen!

 Second winner is ... Carolyn

 Third winner is Lululiz ...
Thank you to all who left comments to be in the draw for this giveaway. It was so much fun that I think I'll have a few more before  the end of the year - perhaps with a Christmas theme, so be positive you could be the next winner. I will contact the three winners and will try to mail the tag sets off as soon as I get your postal addresses... Congratulations

29 Faces

"29 Faces " is an online art challenge - blog and Facebook . The challenge is to create a face each day of September ( with one day for catch up) ....

Covid Man and Book Print

  This is my tag for the current theme at Tag Tuesday - Book Print. I like using text as a background for tags and today, I reduced one of my recent  line drawings and printed it on a small book page .... as you can see,  the book's chapter is entitled "Of Holy Living and Dying ( from The Book of Books) .  I thought this was appropriate as this 'Covid man' drawing depicts Nature happily thriving while man appears to be "unravelling " at the edges of body and mind...  Original drawing - Wilma Simmons   Silk screen print on fabric  : Wilma Simmons  Silk screen print on paper : Wilma Simmons  And here are some other tags on book print backgrounds - these are free motion stitched "Nature" portraits done earlier in the year.  

Fish and Sticks : Art Dolls

This week I've been working on fish and sticks ....  The sticks are the message stick art dolls which were very popular, attracting some attention and a few orders at the Wise Women exhibition. Each of the message stick dolls are from the Wise Women series, each with her own personality and  message of wisdom, handwritten on a handmade timber tag. I gather the sticks during my walks around my neighbourhood and the tags are made from special bits of timber, some collected by me or  my husband or from off cuts gifted to us  from another doll making friend whose husband makes bagpipes. These dolls start off very simply with a wrap around a stick, in the general shape of a body. 'Naked" message stick dolls - strips of wadding wrapped around found sticks.   Then I usually wrap other layers of fabric, wool, and/or fibres, over which I do some simple embroidery. I sculpt  or mould small face masks for these dolls. I really like using "sari ribbon" as w...
