Haven't posted anything here for a little while, life has been a little<br />
bit hectic and chaotic. So I thought I would do a quick update and<br />
then hopefully start posting more often.<br />
<br />
INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENING IN MY LIFE:<br />
<br />
1. Have started a job as the Events Coordinator for Blackheath Area<br />
Neighbourhood Centre which is very exciting, it is a 6mth position but<br />
there are a lot of opportunities that could come out of this.......<br />
<br />
2. Organising the BOOSH Extravaganza which is on the 31st of Aug which<br />
is for BANC.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
3. My daughter has been sick on and off for a little while and we have been<br />
seeing lots of different specialists. This is quite unusual for her as she never<br />
ever really gets sick. Before this period she had had one lot of antibiotics.<br />
She had her first ever blood test the other day. I am really looking forward<br />
to things being clarrified and clear. This has been the year where we have<br />
both started to get more independence in our relationship, so we are both<br />
finding it frustrating as I am not willing to leave her by herself too much.<br />
<br />
4. Have been making some more artwork and might possibly be in a show<br />
in November in Sydney, so wish me luck.<br />
<br />

5. The house is in the process of being repossessed which is quite an<br />
interesting experience as you are never quite sure when you are going to be<br />
given notice. Has taught me to hand things over</div>

Have started working on a new series called,<br />
'One Tree, One Hill, One Person'.......<br />
<br />
Inspired by my feelings about community in<br />
the modern world.and how some people feel<br />
this disconnection from others........<br />
I am also trying to use other mediums, so have<br />
been exploring, paper, recycle boxes and<br />
painting on forms........<br />

These are photos of the big central piece, it still needs a bit of work,<br />
the wingy things need to be glazed back and the head<br />
needs some glazing definition and maybe a little more<br />
subtle glazing on the body.......But I am happy so far........<br />

there was suppose to be a 3rd one, but I think I am<br />
going to run out of time.......As these both still need<br />
some work on them.........And it is also assignment time........<br />

I am so excited.......<br />
I opened up my email today and there it was,<br />
an email from Faerymother saying I'd won her<br />
amazing give-away.......<br />
A set of her faery flags in a wonderful collection<br />
of bright beautiful colours.......<br />
Really looking forward to hanging them on my<br />
front verandah......<br />
<br />
So as a small gesture of thank you,<br />
I thought I would post a link to her blog..........<br />

Have finally started work on my Winter Magic Water Dragon<br />
for the Artstreet competition......<br />
I am really lucky, as I am showing my work in Omnia which<br />
is a beautiful Asian/Retro/Manga shop up the top of<br />
Katoomba Str..<br />
<br />
I have been inspired to use more recycled material in my work,<br />
so have taken boxes and then done a paper-mache layer on the<br />
outside then a basic undercoat........<br />
<br />
I am really enjoying painting on form which gives you great<br />
opportunities to play with shape and movement in a totally<br />
different way.<br />
<br />
Without further a due here is what I have created so far:<br />

I am happy so far, but there is still quite a bit to do.<br />
Besides the obvious of painting the big box and painting<br />
the dragon, there is also a lot of finer detail and glazing<br />
to work at, but I am happy with the process so far....... </div>Raggle Taggle Gypsy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05769730289903486624noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780950547277657511.post-10693597365722513632012-05-13T22:27:00.002-07:002012-05-14T06:25:34.495-07:00WINDSWEPT......<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I feel the earth underneath my feet and heart,<br />
as my hair is being swept across the plains.<br />
My eyes take me as far as the eyes can see,<br />
the blue sky goes on forever<br />
over the glory of the open plains.<br />
<br />
"I am free," I call out,<br />
as I laugh with joy to the space all about me.<br />
Fit and strong, striding across the landscape<br />
in time with the heart-beat of Mother Earth.<br />
<br />
It is the simple things I love best.<br />
The movement of the breeze on the long grasses,<br />
as they brush across my bare calves.<br />
The colour of the red dust between my toes.<br />
The slow rolling form of the hills that make up my home.<br />
<br />
I am part of the land as the land is part of me.<br />
There is only one heart which I strum along too,<br />
that of Mother Earth and Father Sky.<br />
So I let my hair blow in the wind.<br />
Because my soul will always be windswept.<br />

This was inspired while waiting at the bus stop last week.......<br />
It was a beautiful sunny day and I sat down on the concrete for<br />
1/2 an hour while waiting for the bus......I love sitting on the ground<br />
in busy places, it always seems to amaze people as they rush around<br />
that you have completely stopped.......Sitting there I could see and<br />
feel places I have seen and walked in my past and places I hope to<br />
see and walk in my future....... </div>Raggle Taggle Gypsy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05769730289903486624noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780950547277657511.post-90991392798109702332012-05-07T02:56:00.001-07:002012-05-07T02:56:37.354-07:00THE WITCH'S WAY<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Have had a great day......<br />
Went off to the Duck park this afternoon and collected<br />
a trolley full of kindling.......<br />
It is such a wonderful feeling, collecting wood, being<br />
amongst the trees and on the earth.......Something to do<br />
every week........It felt very Witchy and earthy......<br />
<br />
Came home and was inspired enough to write a poem........<br />
<br />
'THE WITCH'S WAY'<br />
<br />
The Witch's Way,<br />
ss always winding,<br />
but leads back to the source......<br />
<br />
The Witch's Way,<br />
is full of joy,<br />
as I play with life and all its happiness.....<br />
<br />
The Witch's Way,<br />
is full of love, kindness and compassion<br />
and brings the tender truth of all creatures<br />
to your eyes.......<br />
<br />
The Witch's Way,<br />
has it's moments of sadness,<br />
but this only makes me stronger......<br />
<br />
The Witch's Way,<br />
is full of passion, longing and communion,<br />
as two come into harmony<br />
and bare their souls too each other...... <br />
<br />
The Witch's Way,<br />
loves Mother Earth,<br />
as we lay our hands upon her......<br />
<br />
The Witch's Way<br />
is me.........<br />

Have finally started on creating my MAGIC GYPSY DRESS......<br />
I have had this dress for quite awhile and have been pondering<br />
doing something which is inspired by my love of GYPSY and<br />
MAGIC........<br />
<br />
I've realised the only way to get it perfect, is to just start and play<br />
and see what comes.........<br />

Have started the morning off with a great jog, starting at 5.45am.........<br />
Am really starting to get into these, gets me into a great headspace<br />
for the rest of the day........<br />
Normally I walk a block, then jog a block for an hour but today I<br />
got it up to 1 1/4hrs, go me, yeah.......Try to incorporate some hills<br />
as best as I can.......<br />
As per usual I am very luck to live in such a beautiful place, so took<br />
some photos of the beautiful bush as the sun was coming through..... <br />

Last night I had a great time at choir,<br />

song 'One Night the Moon' which another member is<br />
going to translate into serbian........<br />
I just love Paul Kelly.........<br />

<br />
<br />
And then this morning when I went for my early morning jog,<br />
I came across the giant moon going down above some lovely trees<br />
towards the west.........<br />
It inpired me to write this piece.........<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DANCING UNDER THE MOON</b><br />
<br />
Dancing under the moonlight,<br />
as the sun rises up.......<br />
<br />
Dancing on foreign shores<br />
in far away dreamy places,<br />
where everything goes my way........<br />
<br />
Dancing under the sparkle of light,<br />
Under the MOONBEAMS and the SUNRAYS,<br />
Transfixed by the shimmering across my body<br />
and the tinkering within the lights......<br />
<br />
Faraway dreaming,<br />
magical sights.......<br />
The wind is whispering little nothings,<br />
as I think about the night.......<br />
<br />
By me, Bhodi Robinson<br />

<br />
I am quite excited, as I have started going for morning jogs.......<br />
I am now in my second week, I think it is day 10 and I am<br />
really enjoying it......<br />
I am also very lucky to be able to jog through and around the<br />
Blue Mountains World Heritage National Park which is just<br />
down the road from me...........<br />
<br />
So below, are some photos I took the other day on my early<br />
morning jog.........<br />

Have spent the early morning working on my writings. My book of<br />

<br />
<strong>Lyrics to Little Kings</strong> :<br />
<br />
<div id="songlyrics"> I'm so afraid for my country<br />
There's an ill wind blowing no good<br />
So many lies in the name of history<br />
They want to improve my neighbourhood <br />
<br />
I'm so worried about my brother<br />
He just gets sadder every day<br />
We gotta take care of each other<br />
Or else we're gonna have to pay <br />
<br />
In the land of the little kings<br />
There's a price on everything<br />
And everywhere the little kings<br />
Are getting away with murder <br />
<br />
I was born in a lucky country<br />
Every day I hear the warning bells<br />
They're so busy building palaces<br />
They don't see the poison in the wells <br />
<br />
In the land of the little kings<br />
Profit is the only thing<br />
And everywhere the little kings<br />
Are getting away with murder <br />
<br />
In the land of the little kings<br />
Justice don't mean a thing<br />
And everywhere the little kings<br />
Are getting away with murder</div><div id="songlyrics"> </div><div id="songlyrics"> --------------------------------</div><div id="songlyrics"> </div><div id="songlyrics">You can check it out here on Youtube</div><div id="songlyrics">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCdxVQN4e8 </div></div>Raggle Taggle Gypsy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05769730289903486624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780950547277657511.post-34926422471917507502012-02-24T16:33:00.000-08:002012-02-24T16:33:54.329-08:00WORLD'S GREATEST SHAVEI am organising a team for my local Blackheath Area Neighbourhood Centre<br />

my all time favourite people who passed away 2 years ago........<br />
<br />
Gwyn was one of those people that just had a good soul and <br />
a wonderful heart and all and all things were never that complicated<br />
with him........<br />
<br />
And even though I didn't see him often anymore.......He was <br />
someone I would think of when I wanting cheering up because<br />
the world can sometimes be shit and sometimes he would <br />
just come to mind randomly........<br />

The forest has never looked quite so appealing.......Raggle Taggle Gypsy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05769730289903486624noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780950547277657511.post-89444808093425044062012-02-08T15:56:00.000-08:002012-02-08T15:57:08.811-08:00SCHOOL STUFFToday something totally not to do with arts and craft. But with<br />
my life. <br />
<br />
Yesterday my daughter came home from school and informed me<br />
of an incident where some girl had bullied her and then in recess<br />
her friends joined in........<br />
<br />
Won't go into all the details, school dealt with it, her friends were <br />
supportive, but boy it really gets my tick.......Was proud of myself<br />
though, because I didn't overreact and want to kill them. My <br />
daughter also said she wasn't sure to tell me, but remembered her<br />
promise to tell me if anything happened like this. So was very glad<br />
she spoke up.<br />
<br />
It also challenging because we have been homeschooling for 3 years<br />
up unto this point, so she is quite use to be by herself and being in a<br />
very supportive peaceful environment. Mind you there was definate<br />
bullying happening with some kids with some homeschool organised<br />
activities. So unfortunately it is just part of this great thing called<br />
the human race.......<br />
<br />
Unfortunately bullying seems to happen everywhere in all schools, <br />
in life and is definately something you have to learn to deal with. My<br />
daughter has such a gentle beautiful soul and doesn't have that <br />
aggressive edge you sometimes need to call on. It is wonderful she<br />
is so kind and compassionate, but at these moments I wish I could <br />
pass on my Viking (Kick Ass) attitude.<br />
<br />
But she went to school today, moderately positive and brave. Here<br />
is to her coming home with only good news. We will wait and see......<br />
And me keeping my cool.....Raggle Taggle Gypsy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05769730289903486624noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780950547277657511.post-84839394410821666912012-02-01T18:34:00.000-08:002012-02-01T18:34:37.184-08:00HEART OF CAGEHere is a work I have designed for the<br />

This was originally inspired by my fascination with bird cages........<br />
Then I found these branches which had been cut and thrown out<br />
on the footpath. This inspired me to make a cage out of <br />
something more natural.......These have been join together<br />
by wrapping and tying.........<br />
<br />
The hearts are made of material (clothes) which were had been <br />
thrown out at the tip.......I have been very inspired to crochet<br />
lately, so deciding to crochet the hearts. I really like the earthy<br />
raw feeling of them........<br />
