A night with Pugsley Buzzard
On Saturday night Pugsley Buzzard (like a cross between Fats Waller and Tom Waits) played at the Paragon in Katoomba. Most in the audience dressed in gangster or burlesque fancy dress.

Slightly Aphrodite?
I was looking for ages for a mannequin that I could mosaic tile some clothes on and put in the garden. When we found this we thought it was too good for that so it lives in the hallway pretending to be a precious Greek antiquity. We like it, but I often wonder whether people think it's a bit odd having a naked shopfront dummy in the house!?
Just to be sure she doesn't get too far above her station she is occasionally put to work as a hat stand.

Garage slab formwork
We're building a garage at the back of our place, and this is some of the extravagant formwork for the concrete slab. More pics here.

Thought I'd show some of my REJECTED application to Sculpture By The Sea before I go back to proper City Photo stuff.
Oh well, better think of something better for next year.

Stainless Flower
This is a flower I'm making out of stainless steel conveyor chains. Maybe it'll be ready for next year's Sculpture by the Sea!

You're Fired!
Pat was on the money last week when she rightly suggested a Raku firing. I've been learning a bit of pottery and this was the culmination of the first term. I'm not that in to the Raku look, but I guess it's a good idea to learn a bit of everything.
A hole was dug for the fire on the property of a friend of our teacher. It was really in the middle of nowhere, only accessible by 4 wheel drive . The owners live in a converted shed with solar power, gas fridge and tank water. A beautiful spot.

Theme Day: Books
Haven't posted for a while, partly out of laziness, partly because the computer power supply went pop and had to go to computer hospital for a few days and partly 'cos we were in New Zealand for two and a bit weeks. So here's a Theme Day photo and an excuse in one hit.
Have a look here for some NZ holiday snaps.

Yes I know, it's not the Blue Mountains - but you can't see that far from Canberra!
