A maker's den

Insight of a day urbexing south of Sydney #urbex

Other experiment: my host showed me where to find wild clay, so I used some to make a tiny bowl, which I actually tried firing in the fireplace (chaos) The very surprising thing is that it mostly survived!! #pottery

I died a little piece of thrifted woolen blanket for the dying, and I decided to turn it into two little pouches, which came out really cute #crafts

We also did some eco-dying with plants we gathered around the house I didn’t manage to get some clear leaf prints as I would have wished, but it was definitely a cool first experiment #dying

I spent a whole month around Sydney, and got to see so many beautiful places, I’m really happy I’ve also spent one week woofing just next to a national park, in the middle of the bush, which was an amazing experience We did a lot of gardening and weeding, took care of the chickens and guinea fowls and made preserves My host had very good knowledge of the local plants and we foraged as well I am really grateful for having spent a week with those very inspiring people

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing okay in these canicule times and are taking care of yourselves :3 I just came back from my trip in Australia, around Sydney, and thought I’d give you a few updates, since I had a bit of time to craft as well So here we gooo
