Apologies to the talented Emma Davies whos show opens this Saturday at Nellie Castan Gallery for the bad puns and the old image. We tried 'polypropylene queen' and 'plastic fantastic' but we went with an even worse pun for the title of this entry. Thankfully the show is just called Emma Davies. Drinks with the artist Sat between 3-5. We'll be there and we'll try to play it cool. Show runs until the 23 Feb. Level 1/12 River St South Yarra (not far from the station).

RIDE OF THE WEEK
suburban safari
Long lean and lime green with the full quota of chrome, louvre blinds and official 'VIP' credentials we couldn't go past this Valiant Safari as the ride of the week. We also think is it would make the most perfect H.M.L.MOBILE... (hint hint to the owner if you're reading ha ha)
Thanks again to everyone that chipped in with recipe suggestions for the harvest overload. We are happy to report that we have managed to whip up a few beauts - a delicious cherry tomato and potato fritatta, numerous Thai inspired gourd dishes and even the zucchini, feta and mint fritters as mentioned by Miss PenPen. We're also planning some yum-berry chutney (thanks Dell and Shula for the hot tip) so fingers crossed we'll have a delicious staff meeting breakfast to brag about sometime next week!
In the meantime we spotted this, just around the quarters from HML headquarters...

HARVEST OF THE WEEK
See this is what happens if you leave the garden for a week, and it rains in the meantime... now what are we going to do with all of these oversized zucchini and buckets of 'yumberries'???

SHOW OF THE WEEK
people in glass houses...
The ladies of HML are always intrigued by a little cross pollination when it comes to craft. Of course combining it with music is not unusual but even we were impressed with the collaboration between glass artist Elaine Miles and percussionist/composer Eugene Ughetti with their work Intermezzo now on display at the Fracture gallery at Fed Square
The Fracture gallery is that weird no persons land between the two walls as you enter to get to the NGV. We know it's hard to invisage a time when we'd be organised to go into to see the peformance at 9.15 on Thurs Fri or Sat of this and next week...
that being said we were intrigued by what seemed an endless amount (1400 in actual fact) of permutations of tradional instruments created out of a non traditional medium. We'd would love to know how it all sounds....
As an installation it is mysterious and curious. We were desperate to slip in between those walls to have a play..
we'll have to wait til the end of the week to really experience the full effect of The Glass Percussion Project.

CRAFT FIND OF THE WEEK
Look what we just spotted!
ewww that pun was terrible, see this is what happens if you try posting before the morning caffeine hit, sorry readers. Anyway out and about this week we came across these hand carved and painted polka dot knitting needles which were enough to get us thinking about winter woolies even though the mercury was tipping 30.
Of course we snaffled some straight up even though we'd promised ourselves no spending in january (well come on people it's nearly the end of the month isnt it!) We found ours at perennial HML fave store Wilkins and Kent on Brunswck street but if you head to the artviva website you can find a whole list of stockists that might be closer to where you are.
