Audrey Hepburn is the epitome of classic 50's beauty. Her gamine looks in these black and white photographs really appeals to me. The images here were retrieved from Google images of Audrey Hepburn. Retrieved 9:07am Dec 8, 2010

Gourmet plating

Summer berries with vanilla mascarpone

Have you ever been to a function and the food is attractive and appetising, you feel that you would rather look at it than eat it? I did! I went to the Australian National Maritime museum volunteers christmas party 2010 at the Bayside gallery, Darling Harbour. The view was absolutely stunning, the people I sat with, Mr & Mrs Flavin, were charming and interesting, (who also happened to win one of the door prizes, courtesy of Captain Cook cruises), and that memorably and finally, the food was divine. I think that when it comes to the aesthetics of food presentation, it is the plating in regards to colour and plate that appeals to the eye and the nose is the key. It certainly was not disappointing to the tongue as well.

Fresh Water

I have always been conscious of how we jewellers and painters consume fresh water. It seems to be my concern to me that we are ethical in managing and disposing of finishing chemicals and solvents because it makes sense financially and ecologically. You might find this teachers resource useful.

Freshwater is not only the most valuable resource in the future but also right here and now. Australians today buy expensive and wasteful bottled water arguably more than any country in the world.
Find out more and see the Powerhouse museum exhibition or click on the above teacher's resource link.
You only have to visit any convenience stores springing up all over Sydney and see how many brands there are on offer but that's not my point. It stands to reason why green business should try to manage our fresh water supply while it is the rainy season (the wettest year since 1959).
