updated lyrebird logo

we redesigned our lyrebird logo.

bart stickson's wardrobe

while pete gets his songs learned and brushes up his australian history i'm re-dressing the little guy. he has moleskin trousers and elastic-sided boots with a new waistcoat and a leather hat just like pete's.

and this is what pete will look like

pete as 'jack woodman', and his cobber 'bart stickson'

sticks has a makeover!

sticks has changed. he's no longer our carefree surfie guy with the messy hair. now known as 'bartholomew stickson' - or bart stickson for short. he's a country squire that jack woodman (pete) rescued from a B&S (that's bachelor and spinsters') ball in far west NSW. bart was being hotly pursued by a volatile redhead, and if the spark had been fanned, then bart would have gone up in flames (being made of wood and all). anyway they beat a hasty retreat and bart now tours with jack both on guitar, singing bush songs and telling tall tales...

painted banner for our gigs

i've been wanting to paint a banner for our gigs for sometime. i traced an enlargement of our updated logo onto silk, outlined it with black gutta and then painted the rainbow colours and the rest black. i then lined it and stitched it up. it will hang from my keyboard or between our speakers.

here's the hat and bits...

here are a few bits. the dough heart i made at christmas. i thought i'd lost the photo and the heart had long since been thrown away...
and here's the hat in process. it's amazing how many youtube tutorials there are for just about everything. including crotchet.

and here's my darling sophie with the hat finished that isabel now wears...
