Preparations

Ticket to melbourne is booked!

Outfit is sorted!

However.... the artworks themselves are not yet framed, Ah!!

Besides the framing situation, things are getting exciting :-) I wanted to share the delightful exhibition invites the gallery sent up to me... I think they're so ingenious, printed like playing cards! The front features Brisbane artist Courtney Brims graphite drawing, and a list of the exhibiting artists names. So special to be on there




Sydney based jewellery designer (and a very dear friend) Alison Wheeldon created this exquisitely beautiful Silver lace necklace for me, set with Green Sapphires and Tourmaline, so that I may embody my "of lace and moss" persona on the night of the exhibition.... It is such a breathtaking piece, I love it.....

  1. Woohoo Monika, it's going to be a great show.
    That necklace is just stunning. I thought it was real lace until I read it properly!
    I can't wait to see piccys of the show AND your new dress. I hope you've got a big coat, it is in Victoria after all :0)

  3. Proceding in order...
    -The cards from the gallery are really nice and different...will there be other elements connected to the playcards theme on the show?
    -The necklace is stunning: you'll look fantastic in it.
    -Will the outfit be mossy green? Ok, maybe you want to keep that as a secret, however I could not help but wondering about the dress that will go with the necklace...

  4. Thankyou darling ladies for the wishes of luck!!

    Jayne - you betcha, taking my fucshia aannah hill coat so I can look like a cool kid ;-P

    Astera- No other "playing card" themes to the show per se, the theme is female australian artists all working with ideas of femininity - focusing on the naughty and the nicer parts :-)
    My dress is green, yes ;-) Green flowers for my hair, green dress, green tights, green green green!
