Christmas Countdown 13; Christmas tree #13 - Techno Geek

  Futuristic Christmas tree made from LEDS and bathroom pipes
Advent Blog Day 13: Techno geek 
Today's blog post proves that techno geeks do indeed have a great time at Christmas... 
Christmas trees created with advanced technology are spectacular... I know we have had LED  and optic fibre trees for some time but I am amazed at some of these - from the humblest made from recycled CDs and computer parts....

to the most innovative and advanced ... 
Christmas tree of 43,000 LED lamps and 25,000 micro lights 
Tree of projections on mirror balls
Pac man game tree
You might be in awe of this technology but if you have access to the technology at home, you can create your own  little bit of technology magic with a 3D printed Christmas tree....

If the technology is all too much for you, you can purchase some commercially produced techno trees. This LED   masterpiece (below)  depending on size ranges from $18,000 to $47,000-  Sadly, not within the limits of  my Christmas decorating budget ... 


Although I have tried to include videos shorter than  3 minutes throughout this series, when interactivity and 3D mapping come together, the result is truly awesome  - be mesmerised for 5 minutes. Please take the time, it's worth the experience. 
After this high powered post, let's get back to nature tomorrow. Same time, same place - already half way through Advent!

Lilly Pilly

Today is Australia Day. I chose a photo of some Lilly Pilly berries as a celebratory image for this national day. Lilly Pilly is  a common name for a plant, Syzygium smithii which grows mostly in Eastern Australia, from the northern  rain forests of Queensland, throughout NSW to the southern Wilson's Promontory in Victoria. In New Zealand it is called "monkey apple, but other names used in Australia, besides lilly pilly, are Eungella Gum and Coast Satinash. The largest Lilly Pilly recorded was found in Dingo Creek Flora Reserve, near Tenterfield where I once lived.  The tree now growing in my garden was once a small seedling which I was gifted when I left Woolgoolga, a small coastal town in northern NSW. Its name  is said to come from the Aboriginal word 'weelgoolga' describing the lilly pilly which grows in profusion there. It is probably no surprise that the lilly pilly berries are edible as bush tucker, and make a beautiful jam or jelly. I have even seen re...

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.

#the100dayproject : Inspiring Women Days 1 - 4

#The100DayProject is a *free* global art project that takes place online 🎨 E very year, thousands of people all around the world commit to 100 days of creating. Anyone can participate . ​The idea is simple: choose a creative project, do it every single day for 100 days, and document and share the process online. 2026 is my 8th year of participating. I have stitched daily observations, painted my egg cup collection, collaged postcards and envelopes, written poems, explored colour palettes .... this year I am researching, sketching and stitching 100 inspiring women. Fortunately I purchased a piece of beautiful linen, with preprinted outlines of 100 women ... just one issue - the figures are tiny (height 6cm /2.5 ins) My first week started tentatively ... I thought I would start with Empress Wu, after whom I named my creative activity. This is when I discovered how difficult it is to applique and stitch on these very small figures - I used tweezers to put pieces of fabric down, tried t...
