Surface Design magazine has arrived!
Friday, August 31, 2007
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!
