@tamararussellart Emotions Rotating - Appreciated Emotions are an essential part of who we are although often complicated and sometimes confusing . “Your emotions make you human. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. Don’t lock them away. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.” – Sabaa Tahir Hand stitching with silk thread on silk. #silk #handstitching #silkthread #slowstitching #handstitching #emotions #slowstitch (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZs_-9P68T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withregram • @zerowastevictoria All set up to make reusable produce bags Reuse Instead with the Low-waste Pledge Are you frustrated with the plastic waste situation? We are too! Zero Waste Victoria will be at the Pentridge Shopping Centre on Friday 24 and 31 March from 3 - 5pm to promote our campaign, Reuse instead: Low-waste pledge. One of the simplest ways to reduce plastic pollution is to swap single-use plastics with alternatives that are friendlier to the planet. Be part of the movement to rethink waste. In this free drop-in workshop you’ll learn how to make your own reusable produce bag. We'll supply reclaimed fabric, needle and thread, and show you how to make a reusable lightweight bag to use when buying loose fruit and veg. #reusepledge #wastefreefruitandveg #ditchplastic @pentridgecoburg (at PENTRIDGE) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqKHt3mPjFY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
