Au Chat Noir

Who could resist eating at the Au Chat Noir?

There's Olive!

Olive wondering what we know not what.

Omar sleeps

Omar hard at work. He is dreaming of tinned turkey and fresh chicken rissoles.

Where is Louise's invisible cat?

Simon's Cat in 'The Box'

From Egyptian ruins...

"A 2200-year-old temple that may have been dedicated to the ancient Egyptian cat god Bastet has been unearthed in Alexandria.

The ruins of the Ptolemaic-era building were discovered by Egyptian archaeologists in the port city founded by Alexander the Great about 331BC. Alexandria was the seat of the Greek-speaking Ptolemaic dynasty, which ruled Egypt for 300 years until the suicide of Queen Cleopatra.

The Supreme Council of Antiquities said the temple was thought to belong to Queen Berenice II, wife of Ptolemy III who ruled between 246BC and 222BC."

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

As already observed, since this photo was taken "the plastic collar has been removed. The frown remains."

Fingers crossed tightly.

Encountered in Flinders Lane

Recent stuffies of mine appear in the window of Craft Victoria for hammer & daisy.

All the things to take to our very own archipelago.

29th September – 19th October, 2008

Craft Victoria, 31 Flinders Lane, Melbourne.

A window for recent things made by Gracia & Louise and Thelma. Filled with the things we have made by hand, from images printed on paper to things sewn with needle and thread. We have the paper for correspondence and we have the stuffed creatures to populate the many small islands.

(Thank-you for all your kind words in regard to Stella. She is making a good recovery. Her tongue still lops out the side but her grey fur is growing back around her jawline. It will be a slow journey back to full health.)

Interior landscapes - setting up

Milly and some chairs conversing, Spanish onions, peaches and various striped rugs.


Milly, the photogenic Brunswick Street Gallery cat, with Mary's work.


Mary's 'Red & White Stripes', 18" X 48" (acrylic on canvas) and 'Red & Ribbons', 18" X 48" (acrylic and mixed media on canvas)... almost in place on the gallery wall.


'High expectations', 32" X 32" (oil and pencil on acrylic primed linen), rests against the wall ready to be hung alongside Mary's 'Fifties Fab', 36" X 36" (acrylic on canvas).


A wall of eight 20" X 20" canvases receive the required nudge with a metal ruler.

From left to right, top to bottom:
'Green apples for breakfast'
'Silent meal'
'Chairs conversing'
'Blue striped rug'
'Don't sit there'
'Mexican chair with Spanish onions'
