This concept made me think of Autumn colours and vegetables.

Original Concept 'Recycled art' by Olga Bath
Second Concept by Jude Roberts


This theme opened many ideas. I used a collagraph made from a netting bag and old squashed pie tin found on the road.

This postcard by Olley was beautifully presented and one felt the need to give it time to add.

Olley's Round 1 Continued

My interpretation of "Autumn Introspective" - but now I am a little scared by the middle gum leaf!

Rochelle's theme was "Autumn Introspective".

My interpretation of"Daily News".

Judes theme was "Daily News"

Here are Judes & Rochelles, Judes theme was "Daily News" & Rochelles was "Autumn Introspective". I had fun with both but the more I look at Rochelles finished card the more disturbed I become about the placement of one of the leaves. SORRY ROCHELLE! I hope you like, Olley.

Olleys Round 1 Returned

My story of a Knight, a Dragon & a Princess.
The front of Fairy Tales.

The back of "PabloPicasso" - Olley's vision.

The front of "Pablo Picasso" - Olleys vision.

Kym's original card - "Pablo Picasso"

Hi Everyone, I thought you might like to see the round 1 cards I completed & returned to their original artists. These ones are from Gwen & Kym. Gwen's theme was Fairy Tales - my theme was about a Knight, a Dragon & a Princess. I wrote my own fairytale about me on vellum & glued it over a picture of a princess, knight & a dragon. It can't be seen that well in the photo though I'm sorry. Kym's theme was Pablo Picasso & I collaged pictures of his art work & a photo of the artist. The next lot will be from Jude & Rochelle. Happy Creating, Olley.

Jude ~ "Daily News"

Daily News is constant on the computer, when I'm there-
I read through the news of the day, it can become quite puzzling some days,
"WHAT" they call news!

This is a Local Newspaper - "The Central Telegraph"
Sandra's Battle is local Monto Artist Sandra Clarke's battle to recover after her horrific car accident earlier this year. Good to have her home recovering with family & friends.
The Central Telegraph is our contact with all the local and surrounding news of the day/week/year.

Rochelle's Little Lovely's :)

CONTROL or Lack Of.............Say No More... "Chocolate".............
And all the other circles, lines & dashes are my brain. hehehehe



Autumn Introspective.................?
This just happened, one day the postcard turns up and the next day you send it back. The young girl's face was in the the lovely artwork from Rochelle. She just happened and the Autumn wonder spread it's canopy of light around her. I then went onto the dictionary for Introspective - examining your own thoughts and feelings
....that I went on to add to the postcard.
I'm sure Rochelle is wondering what goes on in my head sometimes.
Thanks Rochelle, look forward to the next one :)

You are of course all invited to the opening!
:-))
I do hope you are all well and that life is what you want it to be!
Take care,

Exhibition Invitation from Peta :)

Good Afternoon

During the month of May Maleny Artworks Gallery is presenting a very exciting exhibition of artists' books. Artists' books (also called bookworks) are works of art realized in the form of a book.

This is the second year I have run this exhibition and this time around I have invited 20 local and not-so-local artists to submit works based on a theme … without boundaries.


Featured artists are …

Nanette Balchin, Judy Barrass, Susan Bowers, Victoria Cooper, Fiona Dempster, Wim De Vos, Glenda Hennig, Lisa Hepburn, Peta Lloyd, Amanda Lowjen, Noela Mills, Ken Munsie, Katharine Nix, Adele Outteridge, Elizabeth Poole, Barry Smith, Doug Spowart, Di Tait, Joanne Taylor, Desley Wain, Corrie Wright

The artists have been invited to explore the genre without any pre-set concepts. My feeling is that when we set boundaries – within our minds and within our arts practice – we are beholden to what has gone before, and we are held back by the barriers of conformity – when we approach the artists' book without the burden of definition, our minds are open to create exciting and unique works of art.

The gallery will be bursting at the seams with this exhibition of wonderful creations of all different shapes and sizes, and I hope you can join me for drinks, and to meet the artists on …

Saturday 02 May from 5pm at upstairs 50 Maple Street

I look forward to welcoming you to the Gallery to view this exhibition, however If you are unable to attend the opening night, the exhibition will run from 29 April to 24 May.

Cheers - Ken
