Read & Relax: August 2015
http://greaterdandenongreadingblog.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 August 2015. Indelible ink by Fiona McGregor. Is a story about a Sydney woman called Marie King who has recently become divorced from her husband David (not a very nice person) and is not handling it very well. On a drunken whim she decides to get a tattoo of a Ghost Moth on one of her shoulders. This leads to a friendship with the tattoo artist Rhys and eventually more tattoos across her body. This is a great book to read and I highly recommend it. Friday, 28 August 2015. But like all closets...

Read & Relax: Fantasy Creatures In Clay by Emily Coleman
http://greaterdandenongreadingblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/fantasy-creatures-in-clay-by-emily.html
Thursday, 16 July 2015. Fantasy Creatures In Clay by Emily Coleman. The colour photos and written instructions are clear, concise and work very effectively together. The photos are so beautiful I enjoyed them just as a study in the evolution of a sculptural project long before attempting the techniques outlined. There is also thorough information on materials and tools, however you don’t need to invest much to begin making your creature – I made do with skewers and a chopstick. Subscribe to Library enews.

Monday, 20 July 2015. My Two Blankets by Irena Kobald ; illustrated by Freya Blackwood. There is also a sense of layers of knowledge and one can depict layers of blankets. It has a simplistic but beautiful way of capturing ones differences but also communicating the facts of settling and simulating into the land of hope and opportunity and being excited by it. The book is written and created in a unique way that empathy and understanding aspect is revealed in different ways. Book News, Events and Reviews.
