“90 zips” is #2 in my zip wall hanging series, #1 was “121 zips”. “90 zips” was made using all of the blue coloured zips and is also adorned with ocean-themed charms.

I sorted hundreds of zips by colour for my zip wall hangings after I had sourced them from op shops around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie in 2007 (before Covid).

This is the layout for my next zip wall hanging which is using all of the blue zips have sourced. I purchased hundreds of zips from op shops around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie in 2007 (before Covid so the zips are Covid-free). I have sold my first zip wall hanging last month which contained 121 zips using the purple, yellow, orange, pink and red zips. Stay tuned for progress photos after the sewing has commenced.

Thank you to everyone who attended Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar today at Lambton Park and supported our local artists and artisans. We were thrilled to hold Art Bazaar again and see our re-scheduled date attract such a great turnout with such short notice. It was great to see attendees comply with Covid restrictions and favourable weather to boot!

I had a very successful day of sales with both of my textile wall hangings sold.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

After November was washed out, we have been very fortunate to be able to re-schedule Art Bazaar this year so we can still hold it before Christmas! The new date for this year’s Art Bazaar Christmas Market at Lambton Park was moved to this Sunday 12 December 2021, from 9am to 3pm.
