Moriac "makers and growers" market Jan 2012

Already we are in 2012, with plans to display my art in a great cafe called "Cafe Go" in central Geelong. I was a stallholder at a recent market in January in Moriac called Makers and growers market, it was a beautiful day, sold lots and now looking forward to doing the Picadilly market in Geelong, a very different type of market than ours (artefact market), with 80 stallholders!! Held at Deakin Waterfront so hoping for some nice weather. Also plans in the pipeline to do another run of teatowels with some new designs. Also about to take some of my art down to "the Red Pidgeon" a cute homewares shop in my local shopping precinct.

Tea towels

One of my goals for 2011 was to get some tea towels printed and ready for market. I think they have turned out fantastic. If you would like to purchase one or three email me at dimeade@bigpond.com.au. They are $20 each. I have done 2 designs , a birdcage and a dragonfly, in 3 colours green, black and mustard yellow. Printed on 100% Linen in offwhite, oatmeal and flax. Great for mothersday or a special person.

A few years ago I had a new start in life and my old creative self came back. Then one day after selling my business I decided to see if I could expand my creative talent. So here I am today expanding even further by creating this blog. For all the world to see... I'm a Pharmacist by trade, a mum by love and now an artist by passion. I draw and paint by inspiration and time disappears when I enter my studio. Last year in 2010 I began selling my work to a couple of shops in Geelong. Ballyhoo Art Gallery, The Duck's Nest and Willow Homewares. I also did a stall at my local Artist's Market run by a dear  and talented friend Emma Bartle. So now onto 2011 where I hope to keep doing the Art markets and Ballyhoo and expand to some more Art Markets and even have an Exhibition or two with another dear friend Amanda. 2011 here I come!
