GRRL+DOG we are hunting you...

We popped into the Artisans' Market at the Eveleigh Carriageworks on Wilson Street to visit family and took a stroll around the stalls. There's always heaps of fun and funky, arty and amazing things to see, smell and taste. They also have a farmers' market every Saturday. http://www.eveleighmarket.com.au/sydney/

This Sunday it was our pleasure to meet Denise Litchfield aka GRRL+DOG. Denise is a very crafty woman, creating dolls, knitting and street art. Her work is fun, colourful, and quirky.

 

Her website states:
"Denise Litchfield is inseparable from her dingo kelpie, rescued as a pup from a plastic bag.
Going by the name grrl+dog‚ they form a six legged fibre collaborative that includes street art, knitting and community projects. They love to scrounge for vintage fabric and scraps to recycle."

She places fibre and street art in "unexpected places, guerilla fashion"  and says "it is better to ask forgiveness than permission".

 

It is one of our pleasures to 'find'  her fabulous knitting around a street sign or on a tree limb. I first saw her street art in Newtown and it just amazed and thrilled my sense of fun and colour. You have to look for it, it's not always easy to see, especially if you aren't aware of it's existence!
