Creative Perspectives exhibition 

I have recently completed a small mini series of collages about New York. We travelled there a few years ago and I have been planning to make some work about it ever since. My work is in a group show at Quadrant gallery. 

Unfortunately the opening clashes with a wedding I am going to so I won't make it, but I dropped into the gallery today and it looks good, plenty of good work to look at. 

check out my Facebook page Sally Darlison-Artist  or Instagram @saladele for more photos 

Here's the work hanging in the gallery. 

Another Freeby

Well the last freeby went really well, next I am offering a set of 5 cards to the 30th person to start following my blog.

A selection of my card range. The winner will receive a random selection in the mail. If you are interested in purchasing these they can be found on my madeit site or directly.

Buy Handmade this christmas

 This Christmas consider where the gifts you buy are coming from.
One way is to  great to support Fair Trade by buying gifts from Tear Australia, and Oxfam. 


May I also encourage to buy from the makers, this supports the many artisans in the community and you get to give an original and handmade gift. 
One way of doing this is to click on the link above and it will take you to the Made it site. 
A site for makers of all things beautiful and amazing.


 Check out my pieces for sale - see my online store, I will be updating these throughout the month leading up to Christmas.


This Sunday is a Pottery Expo at Federation Square, another way of supporting local artists. My friend Adriana is going to be there selling her beautiful ceramics.
