KEEPING TAGS!...
I'm not sure that this is going to work, but as time goes by I am going to retrace some of my steps as I have wandered through Spacers, mostly as a personal record of where I have been.
I had an interesting converstion with my son the other day-we were discussing what I do in here, and how many friends I have made, and how sad it would be that if I died, no one would know....not only that, much of what I have written over the years is like a diary for my children, for the time when I…

SPIRITUAL WHO DARES!
This topic is open to all for discussion, and thanks for the inspiration from Susan today -we had a short meeting, but how treasured and memorable-I just want to run a few inner random thoughts by you-feel free to do the same-
There is to be no judgment or prejudice, just open mindedness and thoughts on your philosophy of life-how it has defined you, what's it all about, who am I anyway in the whole spectrum of things?
This is your place to…

MY VENTING PLACE OF THIS AND THAT...
When my friend Annie died in March, it was the beginning of a season of grief and inner fear-fear I guess because of my own cancer scare, and astonishment that Annie, who was so vital, and seemingly fit and well, suddenly died before we could blink!-it knocked me about-so many young deaths this year...
So I need a place to vent, to think, to sort out the random order of happenings in my life=a place to put my 'down' poems, a nest to feel at peace in...
Red, Red… Continue

ART SCHOOL DAYS...1995-'96
I have decided to post my art school journal on here so that I will have a hard copy record!
Not sure how it will work out yet as I am trying to scan print using omnipage, and pics with PS, so we will see what happens....
So here the story begins on Art School days...
My initial journey into the world of art goes back many years to my earliest recollections. As a child, my life was surrounded by artists and art, paintings and parties, actors and actresses, plays… Continue

Starting Out...
Well this is the first time I have ever written a blog, so will start with baby steps and add to it as I go....
Firstly a few brief notes on my background...
I'm an Australian visual artist, musician, and writer, who, by good fortune of birth and parentage, was brought up in an often zany and creative home.
The main influence over my lifetime has been my late father, Geoffrey Mainwaring, an Australian second world war artist who has shared his love of people,… Continue

Julia, I need to ask you about how you get that soft edged look to your photographs. What's the feature you use? Is it in Photoshop?
Thanks!

Amanda Watson-Will said… Hi Julia! thanks for your lovely welcome. Are you talking about the work in my blog banner? It is a flag book, and is all based on a single photo.I have made them with paper, but the one in the banner is porcelain with ceramic decals.
I think that clouds are a great symbol for the slow but gradual change that is occurring all around us. Things feel constant, but really there is continuous change. Thanks again!
