Tree Street Art Safari 2022

 Hi everyone. How are you? 

The last couple of years I have exhibited at the Tree Street Art Safari market - so named because artists are hosted in the beautiful heritage style homes of the Tree Street area in Bunbury. This year due to Covid concerns for home owners, the safari was moved to Forrest Park. I wasn't sure how it would work, as I had a much smaller area than the beautiful space I have had the last few years in Banksia Street, however it ended up being a fabulous day for me. I had botanical eco-prints (also called contact printing) and photography on offer. Lots of people stopped by my stall to either purchase from me, talk to me about my work, or just say hi. It was a very busy day! 

Here is a pic of me at the Art Safari wearing a top I made out of an old upcycled sheet - first eco-printed with eucalypt leaves and then cut and sewed by me only last week! It was really cool, lightweight, and comfy and I enjoyed wearing it. 

I didn't have a chance to walk around and visit the other nearly 50 artists or take pics, but here are a few from the Tree Street Art Safari facebook page. 

A few of my eco-prints on paper, embellished with paint made from bark and ochre. 

tote bags - on upcycled cotton or hemp/cotton with calico lining - sewn by me

and upcycled tops - mostly printed with eucalypt leaves 

Wool and silk scarves - this one on the left below is kangaroo paw leaves on silk, and the orange one is eucalypt karri leaves on wool. The one below the group photo is one of the red flowering eucalypts on silk. 

Greeting cards on paper

And a few of my cushions printed with my photography

Now I need to get printing some more scarves, totes and tops for the next art market in June. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you and yours are doing well and that you forgive me for blantant self promotion today. 

I have many people to thank for their inspiration and guidance on this botanical eco-print journey..... Jane, India, Maria, Penny, Helen, Nicola, Linda, Rita, Bozena and many others including botanical print groups on Facebook. Thankyou!   

The war in Ukraine continues and the country and its people are being destroyed. I pray for an end to the bloodshed. 

I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. I will try to visit your blogs in return. Have a wonderful week.
