Paper Giants began airing last night on ABC1. It's a two part series which follows Asher Keddie (as Ita Buttrose) creating Australia's first magazine for the modern woman, Cleo. The second part airs tonight. Or you can watch it on iView if you live in Australia. There is a trailer on YouTube, too.
I am totally predicting a huge swing back to seventies fashion now. The wardrobe department have done an outstanding job, choosing stylish but authentic ensembles for Ita and her editorial team. You can read a little bit about that here.
Asher Keddie is fantastic as Ita. I am busting for the final installment. I think I will twiddle my thumbs until then. Or I could watch Coachella live. Because The Strokes, PJ Harvey and The National are coming up LIVE today.... (Did I say LIVE enough times?! It's LIVE, people!!?) Did you catch Arcade Fire yesterday? They were amazing. I think they are the love children of New Order and Broken Social Scene!
On the Craft front I have finished my book edits for 'Make! Hey!' and now have diagrams due. And then that is IT! Phew! Also on the Craft front I am knitting a scarf, crocheting a blanket and embroidering a map. Busy times!
Ari and I have been having nice school holiday times, too. We made 2 huge floral sausage dogs, a hand-drawn softie, a doggy bed for Lucky, and we decorated our sneakers with fabric markers. We have also been eating lots of curry and doing Lego and watching things on the computer!
Are you well? Did you watch Paper Giants? Or Coachella? Are you making things? Or on holidays? Are you having busy times?
