Going back to the Postcard Party.

On Saturday, 13th June, Sharyn D treated us to a most inspiring afternoon at Federation House in honour of the opening of the Postcard Exhibition. Those who hung the postcards did a wonderful job of displaying the postcards to full advantage down the most beautiful stairwell of Federation House. For those of you who couldn't be there for the Postcard Party or who haven't had the pleasure of exploring Sharyn's family's fabulous collection of art which is exhibited in the building, Suzanne C has given me the following photos just to give you a sample taste of what to expect - because a visit to Federation House should really be a priority in your future!

Amongst many local and exotic artist's work, there are some inspirational items done by our own Fibres members. Below is a basketry figure woven by Barbara N, in the foreground, and a whole scene done by Marion G out of coconut fibres of a man sitting in a chair and watching TV, in the background.

Above is the front view of Barbara's figure and below is another work by her.

Threads of Habitat have cornered a space amongst Sharyn's family's art collection too.

And some of the fanciful bras created by Fibres members to raise money for cancer are also featured.

Every space features a very special exhibit in a variety of mediums and by a wide range of talented artists. You really should treat yourself and your friends, family and visitors to a look. The building is very generously open to the public.

This is one of my own personal favourites. Can you guess why?

Refreshments were accompanied by the delightful music of The Lettuce Dance Band playing in the foyer.

It was truly a most enjoyable occasion, thank you Sharyn.
