Christmas Countdown Local 2022 # 2/25 - Suki

 


Christmas Countdown Local #2/25 : Suki Hairdressers Newcastle 

My quest to find local Christmas sights has been easy so far ... Yesterday I was at Suki , Newcastle where I have been a client for 23 years.  Needless to say, they do a great job with my hair and they love Christmas .  Every year, they have a beautiful Christmas tree.   This year is no exception -  there are two sparkling  trees, one on either side of the front door, with colourful gifts of hair and beauty products  . However, the ornaments are the best . They are  so endearing - Australian animals and  birds looking very festive - , koala, emu and wombat and cockatoos, magpies and lorikeets  .... The little Santa hats which most of them wear sit jauntily on their heads and you can't help but break into a big smile. 


Some of my favourites are the fairy wren with akubra, a handmade owl and a surfing kookaburra.... 
which one is your favourite?  



Always a wonderful experience to visit Suki and at this time of the year, it's special . 
Merry Christmas to all at Suki Hairdressing and thank you ...

#SeptTextileLove26 Day 9

  ‘ Craft or Art?’ … a continuing complex question, with, I guess, has no definitive answer. I’ve often wondered about traditional practices especially … as an example , temari ( Japanese stitched thread balls ). Even authorities on temari have called it ‘an ancient folk craft ’ as well as a traditional, highly artistic culture and skill in that each design shows the unique characteristics of the maker’s free ideas and creativity. ‘ (Japan Temari Association)… My mother taught me to make temari and she would always consider her own creations ‘craft’ and to me they are ‘art’!  Craft or art? Does it really matter what we call the techniques or the outcome of what we create ?

#SeptTextileLove Day 10

  #SeptTextileLove #STL26Day10 ‘Low Impact ?’ … today I am highlighting an admirable decision by Newcastle ( NSW Australia) textile art gallery , Timeless Textiles . When you purchase from the gallery shop, the protective wrapping is made from recycled fabric - donated abandoned textiles, repurposed clothing and household linens, and sewing project scraps. Not only is this packaging practice low impact on the environment , it doesn’t cost much and making these bags requires minimal effort and only basic skills. However it has high impact as a thoughtful, aesthetic and sustainable retail practice. What other practices have you noticed retailers are using for a lower impact on the environment?
