Fairy-wrens are AustraliaвЂ™s blue bird equivalent. Blue birds are a sign of good fortune and hope. The chart features a sweet little blue bird. I also took the time on Sunday to refresh a cross stitch chart I stitched a few years ago. It was a very relaxing process and does help relax your mind.

My experiment used a few different colors rather than shades of one color. She often fuses вЂњwrongвЂќ things together вЂ“ re contextualizing their original purposes, and incorporating materials that inherently question and skirt the line between ART and CRAFT.вЂ™

She is frankly obsessed with color/color theory and is drawn to found objects tending to alter them conceptually so that their meanings and original uses or intents are re-purposed. LisaвЂ™s about page describes her as being вЂ profoundly interested in the idea of hybridization, SolomonвЂ™s mixed media works revolve thematically around domesticity, craft, and masculinity/femininity, and often the pursuit of art as science/research. Inspired by artist and teacher Lisa Solomon this weekend I experimented with water colors as part of a color mediation this weekend. The Australian governmentвЂ™s Job Keeper packages have finally come through so that employees who have lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19 can keep their jobs while we all wait to go back to work once the restrictions are lifted. I am now realising that the way out of this pandemic is going to be very long and slow. Every morning I wake up hoping the news about the coronavirus will be better than the day before. I hope you have been keeping very well this past week.
