Come along to Hand Held Gallery this Thursday (April 8th) between 6 and 8 pm for the opening of
One Cup
an exhibition of 48 teaspoons
by Melissa Cameron (Vic), Sandra Winkworth (Vic), Rachel Bell (N.Z), Jenny Meier (U.S.A/Guam), Lyndsay Reine (N.Z), Victoria Mason (Vic), Penny Peckham (Vic), Jill Hermans (Vic), Victoria McIntosh (N.Z), Soxy Flemming (Vic), Deborah Klein (Vic), Kate Wheeler (Vic), Anna Varendorff (Vic), Chloe Vallance (Vic) and Megan Herring (Vic).

48 teaspoons measure one cup. My own two contributions to One Cup are pictured above. The images reflect my longtime interest in Elizabethan miniature portraiture and Victorian mourning and sentimental jewellery.
