Bonsai in Snow by Lara CameronYAY!
Ink and Spindle is coming to the Brisbane Stitches and Craft Show! I'm so ridiculously excited about it, they have no idea. If they did they'd be scared. I've been in love with their creations for ages now and it's just great to think I'll get to meet them and pick their brains.
In fact I'm really looking forward to the show in general. I'm hoping it'll be a great place to get ideas, find out what the Brisbane craft scene is like and hopefully make some connections. 'Craft' gets such a bad rep these days (tea cozies, knitted doilies and tissue covers) but there is some seriously awesome hand-crafted stuff out there which is, I think, what it's all about. Apart from the fact that it's the path I seem to be headed down myself, I've always liked the idea of the personal touch and I think in today's world, the key is the compromise between having that hand-crafted, personal feel to things but using elements of mass-production and modern technology to make it economically sustainable. I'm hoping the Ink & Spindle seminar on 'A Home Based Craft Business' will help with this.
