Hidden Treasures

Wow! I've been mighty slack in the past week. Well, that's not entirely true; I finished the 'Ugly or Awesome' dress and made a fully lined wiggle skirt, just haven't gotten around to posting pics. Hopefully, we will have a rain-free day this week so I can get outside and take some photos to show you.

Late last week, went to Fitzroy to meet up with a dear old friend who was visiting from Darwin for a pot of tea and a catch up - it's been a good tweleve months since I've seen him in person. After we had fortified ourselves with piping hot liquids, we decided to take a wander in the back streets of Fitzroy and do a bit of grafitti hunting.

In one of my very early blog posts I mentioned the popularity of the Collingwood and Fitzroy area for grafitti and on my latest visit, it didn't fail to disappoint.

Welcome home, it's so nice to see you again.

And, here's me trying to keep the icy cold winds at bay long enough to take some photos...



Ear-muffs, oh how I adore thee!!

The Power of Suggestion

After seeing this stencil I had the Beatles stuck in my head for days...
Earworm anyone?!


Sorry but I just couldn't help myself, I'm feeling much better.

There's art in them there streets!

Last week Mdblm & I went to see an exhibition at a small, artist run gallery in Collingwood. The Backwoods Gallery tends to show mainly street art and obscure artists so you'll never know what you'll find. The gallery's most recent exhibition was 'Oriental Elements' by Japanese artists Usugrow and Toshikazu Nozaka. Their work didn't really blow my hair back but this little guy was kinda cute, if you can ignore his skeletal grin.

More exhibition pics & artist bios can be found here

We had a bit of time to kill before the gallery opened so we took a stroll down Easey Street. Collingwood and its surrounding area is known for its street art and I have to say we were more impressed with the work on display in the streets.



This one was a favourite, I think you can see why.

Happy Friday everyone!
