If you come to ...That would be awesome, Mary Anne! If you come to Australia and you like sheep, you would probably like New Zealand as they have a lot of sheep too! I love watching the sheep dog trials and demonstrations at the agricultural shows. The bonds between sheep dogs and their owners are amazing and their communication astonishing.<br />The whole district gets behind Sheepvention. There is a famous Australian author named Mem Fox (who comes from Adelaide by the way) and she had a very popular children's book called "Where is the Green Sheep?". Because of that, Mem Fox went to the Sheepvention festival as a guest speaker where she conducted workshops and talks about the importance of books and reading to children. (Mem Fox was a teacher in case you couldn't tell!) That was in 2014. I am sure I read about locals making sheep/wool-inspired art installations to line the roads into the area as well to publicise and celebrate their Sheepvention. The farmers take it very seriously. If you want to go,you will need to book your accommodation very early. It is often sold out.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-23013812900065419812015-11-13T17:15:24.022+10:302015-11-13T17:15:24.022+10:30Merci, dank U wel & thank you for visiting Lup...Merci, dank U wel & thank you for visiting Lupey Loops - welcome!

The Remembrance Dress was a bit big for the young model here, but you can still see the structure of the dress. This was the last year that Madison could enter the Sheepvention Young Designers Wool Awards as she was still a student. It is my understanding that the competition is not open to fully qualified designers because it is as much for emerging designers to showcase their work as it is to showcase the possibilities of working with wool, something most of us like to do with our crafts! :-)Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-56503221249470555532015-11-13T16:56:26.368+10:302015-11-13T16:56:26.368+10:30It surely is, Amy.

They have been unique and intricate but also very wearable. As I made those poppies, I had no idea of how Madie was going to use them. It wasn't until they were done that I saw her concept sketch.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-46144314310254002692015-11-13T16:36:17.728+10:302015-11-13T16:36:17.728+10:30I agree, Michelle.
