Fabric > formThis piece is still evolving, slowly and intuitively.

Tangled up in blue...A little alchemy in a thrifted bucket on a flowing Friday.I'm champing at the bit to share what I've been up to as part of the #creatingwithcourage course with #ClarissaCallesen hosted by #fibreartstaketwo.As it turns out, soft sculpture was what I'd always been craving but never fully understood it's existence!🍃🌪💕#contemporaryembroidery #contemporaryart #embroidery #emergingmaker #fiberartistsofinstagram #arttextiles #contemporarycollage #textilecollage #textilelandscape #textileart #textilestudio #emergingartist #fabricmanipulation #texturalart #contemporarycraft #botanicalprinting #melbourneartist #melbournelife #wanderlust #melbourneartists #melbourneiloveyou #originalart #mavacollective #textilesculpture #creativecraving

I don't want to freak you out... but... I rescue

I don't want to freak you out... but...I rescue plastic & occasionally use it in my work. I rescue it from the beach. I rescue it from the streets. I rescue it from other people's packing, shopping and from my odd purchase where I was just a bit too blasé.I try and pull it out of the system, out of the storm water, out of the environment into another life. Because Art does that.To be honest, I'm a bit nervous posting this. The creation space that I work in is a very environmentally conscious one (in the most part). But to discard that piece of plastic wafting down my urban street as "ugly" or "useless" in my art practice just doesn't gel with me. Nothing foraged is out of bounds.♻️🌳🌊#mavacollective #melbourneiloveyou #melbourneartists #wanderlust #melbournelife #melbourneartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryembroidery #botanicalprinting #contemporarycraft #texturalart #fabricmanipulation #emergingartist #textilestudio #arttextile #textileart #arttextiles #textiles #fiberartistsofinstagram #foundobjectsculpture #emergingmaker #textiles2021 #textileartists #naturalcolour #textileoftheday #creatingwithcourage #clarissacallesen #fibreartstaketwo

Progress.... I can see this meandering mind piece

Progress....I can see this meandering mind piece being a very many layered thing... It will let me know when it is done.Knowing when things are "done" can be tricky. It takes an almost meditative state & a little chat with the piece itself.How do.you decide when something is finished?❓🤷‍♀️🤔 #contemporarytextileart #slowtextiles #textilelove #contemporaryart #melbourneart #melbourneartist #emergingartist #ecoprinting #wastenotwantnot #sustainablestyle #lovenaturesbeauty #meetthemaker #lightanddark #eclectichome #mothernaturerocks #textilearts #textileartist #fiberartistsofinstagram #arttextiles #contemporarycollage #textilecollage #textilelandscape #fabricmanipulation #texturalart #contemporarycraft #contemporaryembroidery #melbournelife #wanderlust #melbourneartists #melbourneiloveyou

Field of stars...Walking amongst the grasses at Brother George, I couldn't help noticing how this particular species looked like a field of stars amongst a green sky.I can already see the interpretation of this through stitch... now just to get working!***#contemporaryembroidery #contemporarycraft #texturalart #fabricmanipulation #emergingartist #textilestudio #arttextile #textileart #textilelandscape #textilecollage #contemporarycollage #arttextiles #textiles #contemporaryart #fiberartistsofinstagram #frenchknots #emergingmaker #embroidery #textiles2021 #textileartists #naturalcolour #textileoftheday #mavacollective #originalart #melbourneiloveyou #melbourneartists #wanderlust #countrylife #melbournelife #melbourneartist

Weekend wander wonder... I spent the weekend just

Weekend wander wonder...I spent the weekend just gone in creative nature nerd heaven with @country_glamping at Brother George.I'm not even sure where to start with sharing all the things that filled my creative cup. Staring at a sky so full of stars that even on a moonless hight it was bright while a symphony of frogs sung a love song to them? Lying in the beautiful bell tent on luscious linen while a storm rumbled all around and feeling cocooned? Spending minutes (or was it hours... time was immaterial) walking, taking in the daintiness of wildflowers and the texture of granite boulders? I guess that's a start...#mavacollective #originalart #melbourneiloveyou #melbourneartists #wanderlust #melbournelife #melbourneartist #transparency #positiveluxury #sustainableclothing #consciousconsumer #ethicallymade #buylesschoosewell #ecofashion #ecoluxury #sustainablebrand #sustainablestyle #luxury #sustainability #sustainable #sustainabledesign #ethicalluxury #sustainablelifestyle #handmade #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #sustainablefashion #sustainableluxury #fancycamp #refillthecup

Listen for the echo of the wind in the trees....

Listen for the echo of the wind in the trees....I've been quite precise with my eco printing lately, searching for perfect prints and maximum.colour. The pieces that don't exactly go to plan though remind me that beauty can be found even in imperfection. Creative accidents are almost always happy ones.🤗🤷‍♀️🤔#mavacollective #originalart #beachhousedecor #melbourneiloveyou #melbourneartists #wanderlust #byroninteriors #beachhousestyle #luxurybeachhouse #melbournelife #melbourneartist #contemporaryart#frenchknots #fiberartistsofinstagram #textiles #arttextiles #contemporarycollage #textilecollage #textilelandscape #textileart #arttextile #textilestudio #emergingartist #fabricmanipulation #texturalart #contemporarycraft #meettheartist #botanicalprinting #contemporaryembroidery #happyaccident

When stars align... During the "L word that shall

When stars align...During the "L word that shall not be named", hunting and gathering was off the cards, as was getting more fabric from storage or studio. So I popped a call out on my local @buynothingproject group for clothing that just misses the mark for op-shops or scraps from projects past.Little did I know, there was a divine wedding dress designer just down the road from me. Given we both have a passion for sustainable fashion, finding a purpose for these luscious silk scraps was a win/win.Especially because I'd been eyeing off my own wedding dress, scissors in hand!Stay tuned to see how scraps of silk find a new purpose.😍😍😍#contemporaryembroidery #botanicalprinting #contemporarycraft #texturalart #fabricmanipulation #emergingartist #textilestudio #arttextile #textileart #textilecollage #contemporarycollage #arttextiles #textiles #contemporaryart #fiberartistsofinstagram #repurposedtextiles #emergingmaker #embroidery #textileartists #naturalcolour #textileoftheday#mavacollective #melbourneiloveyou #melbourneartists #wanderlust #byroninteriors #beachhousestyle #luxurybeachhouse #melbournelife #melbourneartist
