Summer in Oz SWAP

Summer in Oz , a set on Flickr.

Had a busy day taking photos and mucking around with the computer. The SWAP sewing is completed. Still need to take a group photo of garments and some detailed shot of the new techniques.

Finished the grey sand washed silk dress yesterday and will post photos of the collar detail. also completed the grape coloured dress with the piping around the neck and sleeves. Wore that dress to breakfast. Have some photos of the locals surfing the release of water from the lagoon to the beach.

The lake becomes too full and is dug out by a digger. The water is released and a huge channel is eroded in the sand. The local children (also lots of adults) gather to surf the fast moving water which creates 'rapids' The lifesavers ride surfskies collecting the chldren that get swept
out to far... The energy is amazing... I have lots of photos on my flickr page. (see above)
