Things to look forward too...

Rich and I headed out for some lunch together today and then had a bit of a walk around Cuba Street. We visited the Thistle Hall art gallery and caught a very cool exhibition at Thistle Hall - "Art of Peculiar Thought". I loved this as it was full of all kinds of creepy things like sculptures made from doll parts and Mexican Day of the Dead shrines.

When leaving the gallery, we came across this postage for a vintage fashion show which I am super excited about! I am hopeful at least a few of my friends are as excited by the prospect of a vintage fashion show as I am!

Photo Chop Volume III

On Thursday I visited an exhibition at Thistle Hall - it was a bit different from other exhibitions I have visited lately.

The exhibition was called "Photo Chop" (opposed to photo shop) and was a collage exhibition - which was a whole bunch of fun and bought back memories of sticking stuff on paper during primary school.

The best part of the exhibition was the DIY table - where you could make your own collage. Everything was provided - scissors, stanely knife, glue, board and a selection of magazines and books.


I can never resist a chance to create something new - so I found an ancient National Geographic amongs the books and magazines and decided to get to work. This particular magazine featured some kind of Taoist (I think) Gods - they reminded me of living in Taipei where random religous festivals with people dresses as Gods seemed to bust out at any time. I don't think the photo really does the images any justice - they really are pretty awesome.
