FIRST PRIZE - Nappies & Nappy Accessories
From the Maker....
"My entry is a woolen wet bag. It is made from recycled 100% wool (blanketing) fabric, hand dyed/painted with food dye. It fastens at the top with snaps. The embellishments are wool blend felt, some hand dyed and some bought already coloured. Polyester thread was used for the construction and embellishments."
"My entry depicts two events from my childhood - One scene is 'A day at the beach', the other is 'Maggie Season'. As a young child I lived quite close to the Gold Coast and have wonderful memories of my nana taking me to the beach - hence the beach scene. When I was of school age, we moved to the country - every spring, I would have to run the gauntlet with a very rogueish magpie, which lived between my house and the school. These childhood events are etched forever in my memory and they represent, for me at least, growing up in Australia. In conclusion, my entry is what Australia means to me on a personal level, but I hope that it's also something my fellow Aussies can relate to, maybe reminiscing about their childhood days at the beach, or even having a chuckle about that magpie that used to swoop them on the way to school!"
