Friday, May 6, 2011. The sets of nesting eggs on display. I didn't want to be annoying with flash photography. The show looks amazing!

bernadette trainor: anxiety #437 - how soon is too soon?
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2011/11/anxiety-437-how-soon-is-too-soon.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. Anxiety #437 - how soon is too soon? I'm all about Christmas cheer. I love the idea of a festive meal shared with family. I work out gift wrap themes well in advance (including contrasting paper colour and ribbon ideas). One of my favourite compilation CDs is Christmas Cocktails, from the Ultralounge series. Last year, I even bought Christmas decorations, but they were for someone else's tree, but I found people don't really like it when you try to decorate their tree. I make j...

bernadette trainor: February 2011
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. Reasons to be cheerful - unexpected blooms. One day, on my walk home from work I saw a large growth, like an artichoke, on a tall, skinny cactus. I was intrigued. I had never seen anything like it. Was it a fruit? Over the next few days it grew longer and my curiosity grew with it. It was late at night when I saw the flower had eventually opened, luminous under the streetlights. I woke up early to photograph it, before anyone could pick it. Labels: reasons to be cheerful.

bernadette trainor: May 2010
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 20, 2010. I recently finished a project for an exhibition called Nesting Place. Oneredline and SMC3 asked 20 local artists to decorate a set of 3 Matryoshka Dolls, for an exhibition at Petty Cash Cafe. The showing artists come from a range of backgrounds, from graffiti and tattoo artists to those who make jewellery and fine arts. Nesting Place is on for a few more weeks and Petty Cash has delicious food and fantastic coffee. Get along and check it out! 68 Victoria Road, Marrickville, 2204.

bernadette trainor: August 2010
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. Today, we made the journey out to Wahroonga, to the beautiful Rose Seidler House (Harry was such a good son), for the Historic Houses Trust's Fifties Fair. It was a lovely sunny day, everyone was dressed in their fifties best. I went ready to shop, but found little to buy. There were, as always, lots of clothes and collectables, but we came away with no more than some ridiculously cheap tiki and hula girl mugs and a silk scarf. But I guess collecting them is the next best thing.

bernadette trainor: tenmoregirls present Glory Box
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2012/08/tenmoregirls-present-glory-box.html
Friday, August 10, 2012. Tenmoregirls present Glory Box. I can't believe that the last time I posted was in November. Did you miss me? The year seems to be going so quickly, and already the tenmoregirls exhibition has come around again. This year the exhibition is called. My nonna, Emma, holding my mother, Maria. My work became about holding, carrying and giving. I've made a series of vessels based on. A traditional water carrier from the Italian region of Abruzzo. The area where my mother grew up di...

bernadette trainor: April 2011
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. 10 girls 10 colours: orange. So it's all systems go for another tenmoregirls. Exhibition, 10 girls 10 colours. This year we each drew one of 10 colours, looking at our personal response to our colour. What does it represent? How does it make people feel? My colour is orange. Orange runs a close second to red, as a favourite colour in our house. My first thoughts ran to the kitchen, home to 1970s orange handled utensils, vintage Pyrex and linen. Then they turned to cooking. I'm goin...

bernadette trainor: October 2011
http://bernadettetrainor.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 15, 2011. Worst blogger. ever. I know, I'm sorry, it's been ages, and worse than that, I left my last post about the tenmoregirls exhibition promising closure to the nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat "what's bernadette going to make" question. In retrospect, my awe does seem a little misplaced. (But it was pretty delicious.). The piece turned out like this. Nested: comfort #1 and #3. 925 silver, silk, 2011. In the meantime, I hope to see you at the exhibition opening,. Worst blogger. e...

Wednesday, September 22, 2010. My El Dia de los Muertos: Mourning Wreath neckpiece was selected as a finalist for the National Contemporary Jewellery Award. Amazing! Unfortunately the exhibition opening, at the Griffith Regional Art Gallery, was the same night as the Girls Around the World opening so I couldn't make it to that one, but you can see some pictures here. Congratulations to Simon Cottrell, who won the award for 2010. Monday, September 13, 2010. Girls around the world exhibition opening. I mak...
