lazy burning weather

weheartit.com

It's a hot and lazy day, but far from being lovely like I normally find a hot lazy day, it was horrible.

Started badly, we couldn't find rib laid ivory paper in mildura. No where I say! so I gave up and drove to Merbein only to find I had left my keys at home!! By the time we got back (after a fruitless search for white baby clothes) it was so hot and sticky that we decided to not get back in the car.

There was no day today.

Business card love

The beautiful people at saltprint who are responsible for the fantastic cards I got done for my miss kwong bookbinding, are doing our Ink Table cards! Wahoo!!

"This toy and movable book called Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, was published and patented in 1950 by illustrator Ionicus. This volume is called a carousel book because it opens to create six three-dimensional scenes of the story."

My latest fetish thanks to a birthday book from my Dad on bookcrafts!

These are one examples by other artists of books we will be creating in our range of Christmas stuff avaliable soon!

Finger puppet frenzy!

It was a finger puppet frenzy today as the Ink Table got covered with felty goodness.

A swarm of speckled frogs (without the speckles), Piggy pals and camel goodness took over the tables and the sewing machine for some wild puppet action.

Look out for our next insallment where we post some puppet pictures!

Merbein Markets!

It was a lovely market day today, lots of people and plenty of interest in The Ink Table!

We'd love to see you all again, drop by anytime you see us in the store and introduce yourself, come to a workshop or just wait until next market, we'll be there with bell on!
(it will be Christmas after all)

Poetic Justice Publishing workshop

Poetic Justice Publishing held their first workshop in our space today (of course, pjp is heavily weighted with The Ink Table's people but that's beside the point) and it was wonderful.

It has also made me realise that we may need even more space if we want more than 8 around the tables! I guess if we have bigger groups I'll just have to move my sewing machine!

Speaking of sewing machines, Sophie just moved in! We have our newest Ink Table member in the badge queen of the blogging world. We'll post photo's of her space soon so keep a look out!
