Question Authority at Art Fights Fire

Thought it was time for a bit of an update about how we’re tracking with the Bushfire Appeal. It was a bit hard going away while things were in full swing but I still managed to make a bit of a contribution while I was away.

The amazingly awesome Gemma Jones threw together an awesome art raffle at Outre Gallery to raise funds, and pulled in over $12,000!!! I contributed the original of the Question Authority pattern which you can see beautifully displayed above. And it went to a very good and appreciative home so that was wonderful to hear.

Also while I was away was the Sustainable Living Festival and I had a whole pile of stuff for sale at the Design Market on the Friday. I’m yet to hear how that went but will update this when I do. And the day before I left I had a stall at the SUPER INSPIRATIONAL Sticky Zine Fair in the Flinders Subway. I met some incredible people including one member of the Craft Cartel I hadn’t met in person yet. And I rasied an extra $30 for the appeal there.

And of course the Radical Rags store is stocking pretty much everything as a Bushfire Appeal fundraiser. I’ve just got patterns in there at the mo but when I get my stall back I’ll be relisting all the other bits. I’m up to about $70 raised in the store so far so getting close to my goal of $200.

Two of the patterns from the store were purchased to use as a giveaway. So If you’re keen to get in the draw to win some patterns, go visit the Craft Gossip giveaway page. The patterns are about halfway down the page. So go enter!!!
