"Strolling in Limbo" a 2016 creation by yours truly, (me @smashed.apples - it is one of my pieces, that incorporates a reflective of my numerous previous pieces, some known, and some that have not been presented to public viewing yet. The stone alley ground with water is from "Unbrella Alley" - at the end through what looks like a doorway is from a photo of Abbotsford Convent, the image of the ocean is the Indian Ocean in Western Australia, the window looking out to clouds is onboard a Virgin Australia flight to Sydney from Melbourne view from Premium Economy seating, the planet circular shapes an Unpresented photographic image, the Smashed Apples unicorn 🦄 who shall be known as Deirdra, who is sporting a teddy bear tattoo with a smiling orange that was in a Melbourne CBD Juice bar in 2010, concluding with legendary cupcakes from Monarch's cakes in St Kilda. Don't fail to see the signature image, The Vortex behind all of that. There is more to this image than most people would suspect. #Alleyway #indianocean #viewfromthetop #virginaustralia @virginaustralia #clouds #airplanewindow #planets #abbotsfordconvent #unicorn #teddybear #orange #smiles #cupcakes #digitalart #art #digitalartist #redbubbleartist #society6artist @redbubble @society6 @monarchcakes #thevortex #strollinginlimbo #2017 #gallery #london #france #Psychedelicart @c3artspace #brentonkovarik (at Melbourne)
One final tidbit from the @nationaltrustvic vintage sale is this charming petite shoe care kit from @kiwishoecare. #nationaltrustvic #abbotsfordconvent #abbotsford #latergram #kiwishoepolish (at Abbotsford Convent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqPzB6ppmsX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Spotted this ancient @vegemite jar lid at the @nationaltrustvic vintage sale at @abbotsfordconvent. I always love the pieces of ephemera that turn up at this sale! Sadly I didn’t buy this but I hope it has since found a good home! #nationaltrustvic #abbotsfordconvent #abbotsford #vegemite #ephemera (at Abbotsford Convent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNAOaJukli/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Today I was most fortunate to preview the @nationaltrustvic annual vintage sale happening this weekend at @abbotsfordconvent. It’s a treasure trove of all sorts of garments from all sorts of eras (the Victorian mourning wardrobe was particularly fascinating) plus the worlds largest collection of doilies! #nationaltrustvic #vintage #abbotsfordconvent #heliersstreet #abbotsford (at Abbotsford Convent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqHy_WkudvE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Everything old really is new, again! @vincent.fabrications is reviving removable, and highly starched, Edwardian (and thereabouts) collars. Never thought I would see the day! Check them out at @abbotsfordconvent this weekend as part of @be___right___back___ pop up, in the gloriously dilapidated surrounds of the Industrial hall in the former convent. Lovely to also meet Nessie from @corepret !#vincentfabrications #abbotsfordconvent #stheliersstreet #abbotsford (at Abbotsford Convent) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb1zHcjpLYP/?utm_medium=tumblr
Alerted by @stylewilderness, these quirky Italian mid century modern clogs with doll faces were certainly one of the more unusual items I came across today in a preview of this weekend’s @nationaltrustvic vintage sale at @abbotsfordconvent. Money raised goes towards the conservation of the National Trust of Victoria’s costume collection. There’s something very Lucille Ball about these cuties, don’t you think?! #nationaltrustvic #abbotsfordconvent #sthelliersstreet #abbotsford (at Abbotsford Convent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbPTuXpr7Wu/?utm_medium=tumblr
