second skin, another chance another dance

there's something purring in my lap

one of the [many] things i really enjoyed about the second skin class last week 

was that by Sunday afternoon 
each participant had a beautiful and unique SilkyMerino dress 

as well as a rather gorgeous infinity scarf which wouldn't fall off 
in a stiff winter wind

and that most people went home already planning their next dress 

one of those present [who goes by the name Mazzaus on her blog] 

has kindly written two posts mentioning the class

here's

one

and then

another

and here's another story
from a little further along the table

anyhoo given the Mansfield 'second skin' class filled quite quickly

Sally Harvey [proprietor of Crockett Cottage Studio] has suggested 

that it would be a good plan to offer a second sitting

such a good plan i don't know why i didn't think of it myself.

so there you have it me dears

second skin will run again on November 11, 12, 13

at the same venue in Mansfield, Victoria

 

four places have already been snabbled...

please drop me a line if you'd like more information

 and in case you are wondering what these pictures are about

i shot them on the way home from Murray Bridge 

[whence i had driven for the opening of

"How does your garden grow"]  

i love the road that curves below the hills from Palmer to Murray

it makes me want to sing Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" on repeat, all the way home

[and i did]

"Heart Of Gold"

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm growing old.
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
