Surface Design magazine has arrived!

Oooohhhhhh, just got back from the Post Office where my first copy of the Surface Design Organization Magazine was waiting for me. Here it is - all shiny and new, and as my friends know, I loooove new shiny things :-)

So in true Teena-style, I walked across the road from the P.O. and into a café where I've never been before [Café 2000], ordered a latte, and proceeded to rip open the DHL airmail envelope and DEVOUR the words and gorgeous coloured photos .... Ahhhhhh bliss! I am soooo excited, I've known about the organization for years, but never attempted to become a member. Everyone I knew overseas who received the SDO quarterly magazine always gushed about how fabulous it was, and now i can do that too!!

The magazine was accompanied by the SDO Newsletter, which is also chock full of great news - I'm going to contact some of the groups and people, and use my membership to the best advantage. I miss having textile/silk artists to chat with ...


As I savoured my Italian coffe [a café latte], I oohed and ahhed over the articles, exhibitions, photos, and inspirations ... just what I needed!

In the same post I was over the moon to receive small parcel from a silk supply company in CHINA. I've been emailing with their representative for a very long time, and finally decided to try to import some of their products. The sample I received today is terrific, so I'm thrilled with that! Goodness, what a wonderful afternoon I've had!!

I've also just made arrangements to meet an arty associate at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney at Circular Quay [pronounced 'key'] in two weeks, which I'm really looking forward to.

All of this and it's only Friday arvo [afternoon]! A faaabulous end to a great week - I'll write more when I've gone back over the magazine.

Ciao ciao
Teena!
