Art Market in the Garden

 Hi everyone, I hope you and yours are doing well. 

Just a short post from me today. I am winding down from a busy few weeks and weekend. On Sunday I had a market stall at the Stirling Street Art Centre in my hometown. It was there annual Art in the Garden market. A great place to buy products created by local artisans - everything from soap and candles to clothing, art pieces, pottery, wood carvings, garden objects - you name it you could probably buy it at the market. I've been so busy getting products ready for the market. 

I was there with my eco-printing-dyed upcycled-clothing, scarves, prints and greeting cards, along with my photography prints, cushion covers, tote bags and greeting cards, as well as some paper flowers I make for every market and Christmas baubles filled with dried wildflowers.

Above is a pic of me with my stall. Unfortunately it was a hot hot and windy day, with a side serve of flys. Amazingly people weren't put off by the weather and still came to the market. It has been so hot the last couple of weeks - an unseasonly very hot - heat wave - start to summer, with bushfires already raging. It's goig to be a bad summer. 

Below you can see a few samples of my eco-print products. 


Eco-printing on paper


Cyanotype sun prints on paper, Christmas cards, and tote bags

My latest craze - printing with coreopsis flowers from my front garden - the colour of summer


Also I have ecoprinted scarves, upcycle shirts and tote bags


I loved this little white denim mini skirt and lace edge cotton upcylced top printed with ecualyptus leaves - but unfortunately it didn't sell. Maybe next time.


Eucalyptus loves wool - but not all leaves print orange - these are eucalyptus karri leaves I source from a friend in the great southern who has them growing on her property - they love wool. 


I still have so much to learn - I'm off to a 3 day workshop in Albany for summer school early next year.  

Thank you so much for stopping by. I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you.

    I like the blue prints. So nice. I think you call it he cyanotype sun prints? I've read your blog with pleasure. Thank you Jill. Is it really that hot in your country now? So different from here in Europe, huh. I hope the heat becomes a bit more bearable! 🌞🌍

      yes we had a heat wave - high 30s-low 40s Celcius for about a week. The bushfires are a worry. It is going to be a long hot summer I think. Thankfully it is a bit cooler this week.

    Your stall looks wonderful and the eco-prints are lovely. Specially liked the orange eucalyptus prints. Beautiful soft colour.

    Jill - given how busy you are, I appreciate that you took the time to visit and comment on my blog! I love your eco-printing, and the coreopsis prints are especially gorgeous! I worry about your hot summer and the bushfires - here we are at the end of November and we have had hardly any snow at all. This does not bode well for our summer, either, or the health of all the plants that rely on the snowpack!!!

    By the way, Jill, I understand never the browsers and their secretive work. Often I miss the translator too, and sometimes it do his service.

    Your eco-prints are wonderful. And of course the colours are different on wool or silk. But they have a special shine on both.

    Happy MosaicMonday
