Proceed to the second floor and in a lovely long showcase you will find the stories of the women selected, their field of endeavour and the contemporary jeweller’s brooch that was produced in response to their story.
Artisan was responsible for initiating this knockout show and they then travelled this exhibition to eleven regional venues throughout Australia 2012–2013. Curated by Kirsten Fitzpatrick, tour managed by Simone Jones, essays by Dorothy Erickson, Kirsten and Evie Franzidis with photography by Rod Buchholz & Andrea Higgins. The catalogue (published twice) was designed by Melanie Schafer. ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor – 100 women, 100 brooches, 100 stories” – remains an inspired local arts initiative, one that 100 individual jewellers are all proud to be part of as I know Barbara was.

2014 is our twenty first wedding anniversary and the twenty eighth year since falling in love. The day and evening is always different, this year we caught ‘future beauty’ at GOMA and lunched at the restaurant there. We had tickets to the opening bash but were frantic with work commitments so we waited until we had time to do it justice. We then came home and both lazed upstairs reading and watching the summer sun fade before a long dog walk at dusk. A detail on the bedroom wall that we hardly ever see, even on most weekends as we are busy in the garden or I’m busy cleaning house or restoring some clock or colonial piece of furniture, just one day-in-the-(charmed)-life I lead with Barbara Heath!

I usually post a note as a reminder to friends in the Brisbane area . . . about this great little sideline for Stefan’s framing business. I also happen to support ‘real artists’ such as Dan Reynolds in the UK although the .jpg above was sent to me in 2010 by a clock buddy in Chicago. Go and commission a conceptual illustration or a gag cartoon – here.
Real Christmas Trees from as little as $65.00 – a great medium tree is $99.00 and up to XL priced trees at $180.00 all + delivery. +61 7 3366 8461

We take our own Georgian dropside table and a glass fronted display cabinet just to separate us from the other market sellers with their stall tables and black tablecloths. A day of standing as waves of visitors sweep past for a gander and sometimes a chat, often a try on and a nice lot of sales. We meet so many QAG customers – all regulars at our showcase there, gallery guides who are commission clients and many old faces appeared this year out of the blue.
A late afternoon shot just prior to bump out – Iza and Peter from QAG Gallery store with Dean and Gary, who can never drag himself away from the goodies . . . one sale down and next weekend is the studio sale running all day Sat and Sun for commission clients and their friends.
