CHLOE FLEMMING EXHIBITION PREPARATIONS......!!!!!!

Although I've grown quite attached to Talloulah's drawings, sadly, her exhibition is about to end. 
Time for those lucky buyers to collect their artworks.

Time to dust and polish up the space for Chloe's opening night on Saturday, we're expecting a great bunch of friendly folk, plus Chloe's family will be travelling to Ballarat  for the opening.

Susie has used flocked wallpaper and textured fabrics blended with oils and pastels to produce this tactile piece of artwork, just love the overall effect.

Chloe Bear in there

Chloe Flemming is on her way to show some very groovy art from the 20th March for 4 weeks!

COOL & KITSCH - art by SUSIE SABIEN

Currently for sale at Dear Prudence are a selection of Oil and pastel paintings by Susie Sabien, who is undertaking her Masters in Visual Arts at the University of Ballarat this year.

This retro themed assortment of cool and kitschy art is making itself right at home in the shop, and would look great amoungst  mid-century through to  contemporary  settings.

Susie has been a regular at Dear Prudence since we opened, and we are very proud to have her work  available for purchase.

One of my favourite paintings by Susie, is the kitschy retro orange salt and pepper shakers, a la still life.


A TIMELY REMINDER THAT TALLOULAH BYRNE'S ART IS HERE FOR A COUPLE MORE   WEEKS and sales have gone amazingly well!  Be sure to call in for a look!

handmadelove has inspired me to brighten up my day! I only have one colour of nailpolish, lucky for me its my favourite. It should last til tonights dishes!

FUNKY TURTLE

Timbo turned 30 last week, with a Funky/Sci Fi themed party at Portico.

I've recently been teaching myself to sew,  so for my first project:   The turtle looked funky, and I was fast running out of ideas for a guy gift, so, being that Tim plays in a band called 'The Funky Turtles' I thought I'd give it a try, and, ta daaa.........turtle tee for Timbo!

Zara stylin' with the Blues & Bagpipery

Jackie popped in to Dear Prudence to drop off her darling girl Zara, pictured here modelling the latest finds, rich soft velvets, all shades of blues, emerald green velvet, denims, beaded bodices.

When an afternoon of photography by Miss Tzigane concluded, we made our way up the street, homeward, drawn by the familiar piercing squawk of  bagpipes, the player resplendent with sporran and swanky shoes

Nessy could hear the commotion from her vantage point by the Lake...................
