Wardrobe Refashion

Its official!
Well I actually start tomorrow..June 1, but I singed up as a guest writer for the Wardrobe Refashion website and did my little intro. Go have a look, its quite interesting. There's girls starting in my group from all over Australia, all over the US like New York, Philadelphia, as well as from England, Japan and New Zealand, to name a few....


Its not too late to sign up, open til the 10th

Dali Lama touring..

I'm very excited, I'll be going to one of the free talks by the Dali Lama, when he's in Australia next month. I'll of course be blogging it afterwards but couldn't resist adding this pic which is featured on the official website.


Sunday Fun

Here's some photos taken on the weekend. I don't think there will be many more days like this, out in the sun on the grass. There's a few more pics on LIME









Bain decided he might like to have a go taking photos, I think he has potential...perhaps a 3rd generation photographer in the making...

Count down...

As another day ends I will begin the 10 day count down til I start Wardrobe Refashion. I cannot but any new clothes for two months. Needless to say I bought something new today, although this is a rare occasion anyway, but I have also made my first pair of 'lounge' pants. Yes, I have sewn! As I'm not really a trackie pants person, when I saw a few of these on the Refashion website, I thought they were great. Haven't found any good fabric to re-cycle so I had to buy some, although the black and white trim is fabric from the op-shop/thrift shop. I didn't use a pattern either, so I must have some sewing knowledge.

And I love them.. can't wait to make more.


Here's a pic of my cat who can always suss out a warm spot to sleep.

T-Shirt designs

My partner and I have been making our own printed shirts. While he's gone for more funny/movie quote/character T's, I've been designing little motifs. We've been using computer transfer paper.

This one went on a hoodie jumper and the buddha, below, went on a long sleeve t, which I grabbed from the Op Shop. It leads me into another project I'm going to start, called ReFashion. You have to pledge that for a period of time, like 2 months, 4, or 6, you won't buy any new clothes. You have to either recycle.. like from an Op Shop or old clothes, or make your own. Its to do with sweat shops and anti-consumerism, but more on that in another post.


I also like the idea of using my photographs, like of the buddha statue, in my T designs. I'd really like to screen print as well, but this is fun enough for the moment. I can't imagine either of us buying T's like this now.

Yes another one...

I'm finding that I'd like to have a blog for other stuff. I want LIME photo graphics to be more about photos, therefore more simple and project 365 is its own anyway. This can be used for other un-related stuff. This had come about as I wouldn't mind posting other things I'm doing. Maybe its too much, we'll see...
