Happy new year all! After a lovely but exhausting pre-Christmas rush-time, it was wonderful to have a break – one that mostly consisted of sleeping, reading Penguin Classics and eating a lot of everything. Yay!
What was even more lovely was opening The Age on Saturday and seeing myself in it! I was interviewed by Megan Backhouse (who is wonderful and hilarious) for a profile in December and quite frankly I was so rushed and insane at the time that I didn’t remember anything I said – so it was a nice surprise to read my words and find them not too nonsensical. Hurrah for good writing.
Here’s a nice pic of the article that I stole from my friend Natalie Cheng (thanks Nat!) but for actual reading purposes head here to read it online.
In other news, it’s good to be back in the studio and planning out the year. I’m very excited about some new digitally printed silk scarves that will be coming out for winter – they’re going to be deliciously long and shiny – 160 x 35cm. It was quite strange designing for a long thin thing that goes upside down at the other end; I had to keep remembering not to put important things in the middle where no one would see them.
Here’s a couple of sneak peeks. Each end is shown up the right way – just try to image it as one long scarf (like I said, strange to get one’s head around).
There’ll be four designs altogether (as long as the print turns out ok, eep!) and I am taking pre-orders if anyone is desperately interested – they’ll be available March-April. Just drop me a line at hello@thegentlyunfurlingsneak.com and I’ll give you a wonderful pre-order-delightful-person discount.
