Made on the Left

The news is out! Made on the Left has been formed and is holding it's launch event on Saturday the 12th of July at the Hyde Park Hotel from 11am - 4pm (isn't the poster below just awesome?!).


This designer art and craft market is not to be missed - jam packed with all the handmade goodness you can dream of! I am super excited to be a part of this event. We hope to make Made on the Left an abundant source of information for both artists/designers as well as those searching for unique art and crafts. Check out our blog for more info.

The event (and MOTL) would not have been possible without the amazing team effort by the committee which consists of Dara Clemens of Dara Art, Sarah Gazia of Odd Girl Out, Alicia Rosam of Aussiepatches, Jacquie Ramsden of Ramsden Designs ...and then there's little old me, Rosanna Elizabeth : )

I look forward to keeping you informed on this exciting journey!

Catching Up...

Well, it has taken me a while to get on top of things after the home show on May 3rd, and I can proudly say that it was a huge success! Thanks to everyone that attended on the day and to the other artists that participated, I appreciate all your support. There ended up being 7 of us in total displaying our wares. It made for a fun day and a great way to show off our handmade delights!

Here are some pics taken on the day...



This is how I displayed my jewellery.


This was Kathy's display which included lovely pillowcases and amazing quilts.

These bags and clothes are also Kathy's. I accidentally deleted a few photos before transferring them to my computer (sorry!). But you can see Sandy's beautiful handcrafted cards in the background. On the other side of the table were Jo's gorgeous children's aprons, bags and gift boxes as well as some of Kathy's amazing dolls.

This was Ali's unique modern art and illustration setup for the day.


This was Anne Ny's amazing water colour painting setup.


This was a part of Jeff's leadlighting display, which was amazing!


I am hoping that this will become an annual or even a twice yearly event. I will keep you posted and if there are any other artists closeby who wish to participate - drop me a line!
