My Creative Space


Please excuse the poorly taken iPhone photos


I'm showing you yesterdays creative space, as it's much more exciting than todays!

Cathy and I headed to Jackson Cafe and Gallery yesterday and took on the art challenge. It was so nice to just be able to get together and do something creative and fun.

The idea is that bring along your own art supplies (I took my artist pens and textas) and after your brunch/lunch/coffee/cake etc, you're given a piece of artists paper and a time limit of 30 minutes to make a piece of art.

In around four weeks time, there'll be an exhibition, and visitors will be able to vote for a winner. The pieces will be sold with the money collected donated to a charity of the winners choice.

Such a brilliant idea!


Have you ever tried to create a piece of art in such a short time frame?

Sunday in the City



Carly arrived back from her overseas adventure last week, so we decided to meet up yesterday for lunch and a long catch up session!

 After getting lost in the 'burbs (it's a long story), we finally found our destination - Jackson Cafe and Gallery in Rathdowne St.



Have you ever tried to take a photo of a lit chandelier with an iPhone? The chandelier is beautiful... my photo, not so much.

The lovely accessories and homewares are by Red Phoenix Emporium.


Lunch was absolutely delicious...


.... and we shared this very yummy chocolate brownie for dessert

 

 Upstairs there's an beautiful three room gallery space



It's definitely a lovely spot to visit!
