From one Sunshine State to Another and Back Again – Whew!

It hardly feels I’ve been away for almost a month travelling from Deland, Florida (the Sunshine State of the US) to Brisbane, Queensland (the Sunshine State of Australia) – a huge round trip of almost 20,000 miles! So getting back to work is a bit of a challenge at the moment. I’ll definitely have some new work to share with you next week when my new Assemblage Hand-Dyeing Workshop begins, but in the meantime here’s a few highlights from my trip home.
I’ve travelled quite extensively and Brisbane remains one of the most beautiful and tourist-friendly cities I’ve ever seen.
