Where is Wooly? Day 1 and 2 Chinese New Year

"Where is Wooly?" is a Chinese New Year event sponsored by Timeless Textiles Gallery in Newcastle, NSW. This wool felted animal ( sheep/goat) appears each day for eight days in different locations. Anyone who posts photos of Wooly in her various locations on Instagram or Facebook will go into a draw for a lucky red envelope ( containing a Timeless Textiles gift voucher)

Day 1 was very busy. Wooly started the day off with an interview with Jill Emberson on the Morning porgram of ABC radio 1233.

Then, off to location 1. The clue was " Wooly wishes you a Happy New Year and wonders artistically what's around the curve?" Of course, Wooly was at Curve Gallery, 61 Hunter Street, Newcastle East.

Where will Wooly be Day 2 - 20 February? Here's a head's up with the clue....
Old Bob loves Wooly's greasy wool an other products medicinal.
Good luck and Happy Chinese New Year

Countdown to Christmas 15 - Diamonds Forever!

How much would you pay for a Christmas fruitcake? The world's most expensive fruit cake has been estimated at $1.65 million. Yesterday, I wrote about the less than positive term "Christmas cake as it is applied to unmarried women, so again it amazed me that in Tokyo, this most exquisite and expensive Christmas cake was created. It took six months to design and another full month to construct. The beautiful cake is fully edible ... that is except for the 223 real diamonds used as decoration. This cake was part of an exhibition called Diamonds: Nature's Miracle and was one of 16 exhibits showcasing creative ways with diamonds . Apparently, the cake was auctioned, fetching $1.65 million US. While there have been other very expensive diamond encrusted cakes since this one in 2005 with estimated values of up to $75 million, this Japanese designed cake was the forerunner of the extravagant diamond studded wedding cakes in the higher price r...
