Mount Macedon


On the weekend I spent some time in the Macedon Ranges, and it was so beautiful. I went to a couple of exhibitions and I was really inspired by the bushland and forests. Sometimes if I don't have time to draw, I like to make colour samplers from the photos I take. It's a way for me to consider the element of colour without all the distraction of shape, line and perspective.






While I was there I found out about a couple of workshops that look great. One is in Mount Macedon and one is in the Grampians, and there are lots of textile techniques that I would love to experiment with, the main one being shibori. I love it's simplicity, and the texture and line that is almost reflective of a landscape.
