"wear the clothes dont let them wear you"

Its been a little bit since my last update! I was traveling, embracing culture and emerging myself in a form of art, life and espressos!

My travels took me to NYC...Its a city that in my opinion words can't describe! it has a distinct pulse, beat a rhythm! But there are lines that lead to somewhere. I found i was faced with decision each day as to what line i would take...Train tacks (so to speak) that will lead you to different destinations! I want to ask you a question, about ones view on "Art". What is your definition of it and what limitations do you put on it? Is it a picture, clothing, food, or is it ones life? Do you conform to what people want or do you challenge yourself to look outside the box?

Whilst lying under the shade of a tree in central park, I read a quote out of the art section in the NY Times,. "Abbie, always bases her themes on the stories that she wants to tell, not what the market place my feel more comfortable hearing"

I have been thinking that maybe our life is an expression of an artist! Do we conform to what we think people want to hear or do we :: "wear the clothes " xx sarah

Spices and All Things Nice!


















Just a brief note to tell you about an AMAZING spice I have come across; it's actually derived from a berry called 'Sumac.' It has a tangy lemony taste and goes amazingly well with seafood and poultry dishes!
Also is great with tofu, avocado and sea salt sandwiches made with yummy rye bread.
Here is an ace recipe for a Tofu and Bean Salad I made the other day.

  1. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan.
  2. Add chopped tofu, any sort of legume, (I used red kidney beans), add the sumac and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  3. Chop some carrots, red onion, avocado, snow peas, and pretty much any other vegies you may have in your crisper!
  4. Pop them into a bowl and drizzle some extra virgin olive over them. Add a shake of white wine vinegar and then a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  5. Now add the tofu and beans, a dollop of fresh hummus and stir though!
Yummy!

I bought my 'sumac' from http://www.fratellifresh.com.au/ in Potts Point.
In saying that, most good grocery shops should have it!


Enjoy...

Arist, illustrator, printmaker!


I was flicking thought the current Australian Harper's BAZAAR and fell in love with some of David Bromleys art work. David, Currently lives and works in Adelaide 1964 - Born Sheffield England
“Artist David Bromley's nostalgic paintings of plump children, magical gardens and gilt nudes are adored by collectors in Australia, Japan, London, Dublin and New York. But Bromley heads an art empire that extends well beyond paint. Based in a two-storey studio overlooking a park in South Yarra, the former Adelaide artist surrounds himself with creative people whose work and ideas intertwine.” I have attached a photo of his work! take the time to look at his page if you are feeling board and want some creative inspiration, it certainly got my mind thinking! his story is quite unique, (as is all our stories) but i just love how he does His own thing, very unique and his work is defiantly "made with love' xxx sg

Read something!


Little write up on my business in a local magazine, go to page 91 of May issue http://thebeast.com.au/index.php?option=c

Enjoy xx
