Photoshoot and the start of a new era!

While it seems a little quiet here on the ol Leni and Rose blog, real life is moving at pace. So, where to start? How about with my first ever photoshoot! This is a sneak peak of an upcoming collab with public artist Rowena Martinich. We had such a ball running around the studio taking about a million photos! Rowena is quite an amazing gal – she’s showing at Design Made Trade over the next 4 days and has a solo exhibition starting next Friday. Get along to either if you can, really!

I went to the opening party of Design Made Trade on Wednesday night and it was fabulous. SO much amazingness on display. The Body Electric dance troupe, Penny Modra’s Collingwood Skipping Club were great entertainment, not to mention all the wonderful exhibitors. GO, you must!

Flo, our textile printer, is behaving herself nicely and I nearly have the businessy back office type stuff under control. Everything is so exciting! We had a studio visit today from a very famous designer (eeeeeeeepppppppp!!!!!) who was thrilled with the prints Florence did. That just made my day, week, everything. It’s so wonderful and validating receiving such great feedback. And after being Facebook challenged for a very long time, I even managed to set up a Frankie and Swiss page!

Even more excitement is the little launch party we’re going to have at the studio, an afternoon tea of champagne and cake! More on this in weeks to come.

Sooooo much more is in the pipeworks, I shall make sure I document it all here. I really want to have a record of this time – I think it’s finally hit me that it’s a pretty special era!
