Ariadne's ducklings

The ducklings are really growing fast now. Rebekah (choc) is eating from my hand and is the boldest of the group.

Mary (blue duckling in the foreground) looks to be a different sort of blue from her brother, will be interesting to see what colour their feathers come through.

Their tails are all growing and they look like they have pins with fluffy tips sticking out the end!!

When I am carrying them their food, and I call out 'Are there any hungry ducklings in the house' there is a loud chorus of peeping in reply.

Cats at the Duck Hilton

We have 2 Cornish Rex cats.
Mephisto is a Lilac Silver Tabby, affectionately known as Skinny. He is a lovely boy, but not fond of being patted, (dont squirm on the perm, ya nong!) he likes to sit on my shoulder. He is asthmatic and a very picky eater.




Magneto is a blue smoke and white, affectionately known as Fatty or The Fat Man. Fatty is crazy and eats like a horse! He cant get enough attention, I've had to ban him from sitting on my shoulder - too painful!!

Rust Printing

Finally some pics of the rust printing I did the other day, these are the 'best' bits, think I will re-do the rest today.

Ariadne's ducklings

Ariadne's ducklings are growing up. These photos were taken yesterday of them eating up their greens like good kids should.

'My' 3 were 2 weeks old yesterday, and Aridane's 4 are 2 weeks today. There are definitely 3 larger ducklings, dont know if they are all the older ones or not, Joey (the darkest duckling) is one I hatched and is the biggest of the group. Luckily they are all still very cute!!

Tathra Weekend

Went to visit my parents in Tathra this weekend, I had planned to take a picture of the wharf in the full moon light... but it was full cloud cover, so no shot!!

These are red browed finches drinking at the water dish on the balcony.

Mono Printing

Finally got around to doing some mono printing yesterday. Just using block printing ink, fabric as a print surface and purchased cardboard shapes, but got some good effects, and when stitched up these might be interesting.

Also started some rust printing, will take prints once the pieces are washed and flat-ish.

Spotted Gums

At this time of the year the spotted gums are shedding their bark. Some amazing shapes, colour and sap out there in the bush this morning. Of course the light was perfect just AFTER the camera battey died!!
