23.01.2022 Throwback Thursday . This little vintage radio/phono set used to live at our grandparents house in the kitchen. Looking to Ryan from @thereimaginarium to see if it's a good candidate to get a Bluetooth upgrade. You should see his work on vintage radios, it's amazeballs... . #tbt #tbthursday #solidstate #Trakton #vintage #vintagerecordplayer #vintageradio #renew #vintageupgrade #oldschool ivintage

22.01.2022 OMG - just realised that the actual basement property at 4 Shorts Place in Geelong is currently available to lease... It would be the most amazing studio space, just look at it! And with my favourite vintage signage embedded on the front. #studiofantasy #agirlcandream "Underground - Shorts Place" is currently showing @pakofesta 's Elements of Culture Arts Trail.

21.01.2022 Awwww we have our very own Spoonville started at Buckley Falls. It's on the Old Flour Mill Rd bike track. Reports from its two founding residents are upbeat about more spoons joining them soon . #spoonville@buckleyfalls #spoonville #lockdownvictoria #regionalvictoria #GeelongILoveYou #highton #barwonriver #queenspark #fyansford #belmont #gtown #geelong For more info check out the Highton Residents group on Facebook
21.01.2022 We popped into @geelong_illustrators to grab some masks (a weirdly distopian task?) So to lighten our moods we had a squiz in @thereimaginarium next door. I am crushing on this vintage radio, upgraded with Bluetooth speaker tech . How lovely is it? At $390 it seems very reasonable given its a piece of furniture + speaker feature. Ryan does a cracking job, and his passion for upcycling shines through.... #madeingeelong #upcycled #upgraded #vintage #bluetoothspeaker #betterthannew #geelongmakers #madeinvictoria #buyregional #supportlocal #vintagefurniture #vintageradio @ Geelong, Victoria See more

21.01.2022 Shipwreck lamp I made these around 2014. I was able to download the map digitally and created a new design that lengthens out the map to wrap around the lampshade. It also meant I could play with colour to achieve different tints. #adecadeofshades #2011-2021 #patturnstudio #geelong #barquesacramento #pointlonsdale #shipwreck #lovelamp #pointnepean #pointnepeannationalpark #history #nautical #maps #portphillipheads #geelongartist #geelongandsurfcoast
19.01.2022 I'm calling this one "vital statistics". Taken from the map, but also appropriate for the world at the moment? This vintage map poster has been upcycled twice! The main section was wrapped around an XL shade (pictured last & currently for sale at the @thereimaginarium) and this section ran along underneath. It fit perfectly around this smaller shade 25cm diameter X 20cm high. I try not to waste anything, least of all vintage material : ) Will offer as an insta pre-sale be...fore it goes off to the @thereimaginarium when everything opens up again... Shade only $130 exgst + shipping.

17.01.2022 May’d Festival - Maker profile - Rachel Burke Rachel has been living and working in Geelong since moving here in 2010 and formally adopting the bay city as home.... Plunging into the arts community as a form of personal therapy, Rachel started giving makeovers to discarded and salvaged items like lampshades and re-selling them as unique designer pieces. It was a further eight years before she would discover her "inner missing puzzle piece", diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. Rachel aims to embrace her neural diversity in creative works moving forward, both as a form of wellbeing and reason to connect with people. @PatturnStudio Instagram
16.01.2022 I love the London Underground Tube map. It's design, the coloured lines, all the things! : ) I've just made a couple of one-off pieces featuring the poster, and here is a 1 minute story to tell you all about it.... There are two slightly different shades, both currently available in the Patturn Etsy Store, link to add shortly below.
15.01.2022 Such beautiful work - now these stunning vintage pieces have a new relevance. Built to last they will bring joy for many years... and can continue to be upgraded forever more

15.01.2022 Cheers Lucinda : ) "So happy with my custom-made patturn pianola roll lampshade - a perfect fit for my mid-century lamp base - fantastic communication & assistance from Rachel - & beautifully & safely packed - much appreciated rach! X"
15.01.2022 You know all those random pieces of string & ribbon you come across? Especially the little ribbons that come attached to your clothing around the shoulders? Well I actually save them to reuse for my labels. Imagine how many kilometres worth of ribbon like this ends up cutt off and chucked in the rubbish around the world. Just about every top or dress made comes with 2 attached. What else could we use this resource for? . . .... #recycle #reuse #resources #waste #industry #clothingwaste See more
15.01.2022 I am really excited about the up & coming MAY'D festival. To be honest I kinda lost my creative mojo for a while there... But I'm really invigorated about new stuff I've been working on and can't wait to share it with you all. NEW CREATIVE FESTIVAL @creativegeelong May'd festival will showcase local makers throughout Centrepoint Arcade in 132 Little Malop Street on Saturday 29th May 10am-3pm. The festival is an opportunity to meet local artists, makers and creators of all ...things made locally. Entry is free and all items are for sale. This is your chance to support local makers and take home your own treasure. Supported by the @cityofgreatergeelong Creative Communities Festivals Grant Program. @geelongdesigncity #localmakers #madeingeelong #geelongmakers #handmadegeelong #geelonginmay #buylocal #localcreatives #geelongfestival

12.01.2022 In around a decade of using vintage sewing patterns, I only ever ONCE came across one with pink and green lines. So it must be pretty rare right? I used it here on a slightly tapered shade & teamed it with a timber tripod base - currently selling @thereimaginarium in Geelong. Their physical store is temporarily closed due to current restrictions, but they are doing a cracking job servicing customers online

10.01.2022 Last October seems like another lifetime, when we were able to assemble in an audience (!) That night I listened to stories & watched as drawings appeared and morphed in the sand. The talk & symbols had a magical way of fusing together to become more compelling than talk on its own. Think PowerPoint, only not boring. That night I not only bought a book, but for the first time in my life, I waited in a queue for the Author's signing. (AKA "don't say something stupid to him, ... just don't say something stupid). I asked him if he'd had fun that night, a nod to the in-joke from the opening, and this was his response. Tyson Yunkaporta has a knack for bringing together stories, from others and himself, that have the power to cut through all the bullshit and misrepresented info you hear about Aboriginal culture. If you are like me, eagerly wanting to listen & understand, I can not recommend a book to you more highly than Sand Talk. Big thanks to @geelonglibraries for hosting the @wordforwordfestival and to Pip May for her impeccable timing (by chance) to snap a pic of Tyson as he signed my book The opening night talk we attended is also free to listen to on SoundCloud if you search for Word for Word festival you should be able to find it. Really worth a listen. #tysonyunkaporta #sandtalk #australia #indigenous #nyaal #openyoureyes #wordforword #wordforwordfestival #geelong #geelonglibrary @ Geelong, Victoria
10.01.2022 So many emotions over the last few months, sometimes all in the same day. (But I was a little prone to that before 2020 came along....tbh. ) This pair of lamps, lets you reflect the days feels. Like an interactive lighting installation in your own home. With a little turn you can change the front to feature a sleepy, happy, or sad face. Feat: Uber vintage applique pattern circa 1970's - 80's era. Sure some may find their expressions a little creepy. And that's ok...... #vintage #upcycled #handmade #madebyhand #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #lockdown2020 #lovelamp #lamplove #isolationfeels #isolationart #isolationcreation #aspergers #asd #aspiegirl #aspergirl #emotions #feels
07.01.2022 I love seeing posts like this in our community of Geelong, Victoria With the newly announced Tesla battery project happening in our region in the near future ~ our literal connection with renewable energy will define us for years leading into the future. Not just the "big brand" companies, but each and every small business who sees the sense in harnessing energy with sustainable/renewable principles. "Make it available to the people" "Build it and they will come..." (wait... I think Kevin Costner said that in Field of Dreams. Now I'm really showing my age ) I think you get me. Please, if everyone is out there supporting local businesses who are adopting sustainable measures - it will make a difference in the long term. Every little cog in our complicated system of society gets turned by people power. And that's people power, by people like you.

06.01.2022 This is one of my favourite t-shirts, stretched over a lampshade. I love the way it looks on the shade! Just playing around (I can't bare to cut it up, still want to wear it) I bought it at Supre' YONKS ago. Maybe even a decade or more...? Would love to know who designed the pattern, it's so beautiful. I bet they have designed many more amazing pieces since then.... #supre #patterndesigner #patterndesigners #pattern #patternrepeat #stretchfabric #ilovelamp #wherearetheynow #designer #designersearch

04.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC week everyone! I saw this great shareable insta tile via @place_names_in_addresses & @blakbusiness . They have easy instructions to follow but I had tech glitches with insta stories - so I photoshopped a Wathaurong version for Gtowners ready 2 share + a blank one for those in other areas. Easy peasy. Please note this tile is specifically for allies to use, see tagged above for more info ... #naidocweek #alwayswasalwayswillbe #placenames #knowyourcountry #blakbusiness #geelong #gtown #wathaurong See more

01.01.2022 Teacup sets spotted at Salvos Sth Geelong. Is anyone into collecting these or do you upcycle them into other things? Am thinking of experimenting with the cake stand idea using bigger sets. Watch this space. I love a good upcycle challenge.... Should I buy any of these to resell?... #teacups #teacup #teacupsets #vintage #upcycle #porcelain #ceramics #oppshop #salvos #salvosau #geelong #buysecondhand
