This sculpture is at the corner of The Esplanade and Semaphore St, Semaphore, South Australia.  It represents many of the activities, attributes and history of this seaside suburb.  There are fish, ship’s mastheads, cars, the laughing clowns, carousel and ferris wheel from the foreshore amusements, the train, seagulls, fishing net, buildings, a whale and a stingray, and the symbol of the local football team ‘Port Power’ the hand holding the lightning bolt.

A quote from the website;

A midden is a repository of detritus from a culture accumulated over millennia and can show successive layers of occupation by aboriginal peoples. As well as comprising many activities (i.e. fishing and hunting) and events from different periods, they often include waste from flaking stone and lost or broken tools, thus providing keys to the cultural activities of the group using that particular midden.

Expressive Marks Exhibition

This is my first ever art exhibition.  It has been a long three years of study and this is the culmination.

Basic Crochet Hat Pattern

Various crochet hats – baby, child and adult sizes.  I made up my own patterns as I went along.

Baby hat with turn up brim
Start with a magic ring, use any number of double crochet stitches
Double crochet an approx 17cm circle (make larger circle for child’s or adult’s hat) Increase as needed to keep the circle flat
Decrease all the way around circle
Several more rows of double crochet make the sides of the hat
Continue with double crochet enough to turn up

These hats were donated to the Queensland Flood Appeal
