Just a little snapshot of what is happening at 'stof&stuff'

Walking Kika


Walking Kika after a day of 'stof&stuffing' is a delight, especially at Cornelian Bay, where the light and mood it creates takes your breath away. 
Every day the sky dictates a different atmosphere. The clouds can make the water look soft, serene and inviting, or deep, rather dark and fierce and the sun seems to pick out little bits in the distance, I have not noticed before. 

I think Kika is totally oblivious to these changes and does not even notice that I always take a quick snapshot, in which she is NOT the subject. She runs with other dogs, smooches with their owners and dives in and out of the water, not noticing the depth, current or stillness. She just loves it there, whatever mood is present.  


Thought it would be nice to share this one with you lot!

New 'hobo bags' at

Easter, a time for gathering coloured eggs by excited children kitted out with cane baskets, while spotting Easter bunnies. A time for the rest of us eating lots of chocolate, Simnel cake, Dutch paasbrood and hot cross buns.

A 'hobo bag' in wool or silk, is just the thing to carry all these goodies to your favourite picnic spot or park.

Car Park Dazzle
'Material Girl' is always an exhibition that challenges me. The 'briefs' are generally a good way of making me tackle something new.
The 2011 theme was 'Women behind the Wheel',
which I thought fitted in nicely with some photos I took in Melville Street car park last year with my phone. 

This was the result, the size is 70 x 70 cm, so neither big nor small.


'Car park dazzle' will travel round the state together with other 'Material Girl' entries and the itinerary is available from Tasmanian Regional Arts.   

Car park dazzle
Long time since the last post again. Summer-time, holiday-time, garden-calls, Mona Foma, excuses, excuses..........!
Finally did some new work. I reworked some photos that I took with my phone while parking in Melville Street car park one day. The light was amazing.
I decided to use one of the revamped photos for the Material Girl 2011 exhibition. The theme this year is: 'Women behind the Wheel'.
I also thought the image would make great tea towels. 
The exhibition piece is 70cm x 70cm and the text is all on the image, while on the tea towels the text is partly on the white surrounding the image. I am also doing cushions with the image on the front and the text on the back.              

These are the tea towels.


I will post an image of the actual 'car park dazzle' piece at a later date, after the exhibition is finished.

Just talked to Leonie Struthers of 'the maker' and 'love&clutter' where my 'hobo bags' will now be for sale from tomorrow.

Both Leonie's shops are an inspiration for the designer/maker and are a great place to buy truly original, handmade products of a very high standard.
