Every now and then I have these crazy idea-filled days brimming with creativity. Days where I wonder if perhaps I am a bit bi-polar, but I’m having so much fun I don’t care.

The last few days it was all about art mostly, and art with a sense of humour. The mood had me gilding a piece of wood the termites had obligingly eaten into an amazing sculpural shape for one piece, mixing sand and fleece and string with impasto gel for another, scaring the tradies working on the house by wanding around looking dreamy and distracted, and raiding Zart Art and Bunnings for supplies.

While at Bunnings I went looking, unsuccesfully, for metal rings to use in macrame. Then, unsuccessfully, for a source of reasonably priced jute. That’s when I saw they had big rolls of black cord. Could I use that instead of jute? And work in some skull beads, or spiders, or bats?

Oh my goodness! That’s brilliant! GOTH MACRAME!
