On my bedside table

You must know by now that Dumbo Feather is a fine publication, and I treasure each and every issue. This latest one, Issue 20, well done Kate, is the best so far, with many of my favourite folk included.

Here's a brief rundown:

Actor turned painter/childrens' book author Aaron Blabey,

Founder of the Institute For Figuring, Margaret Wertheim, who is responsible for the internationally acclaimed crocheted coral reef project,


Former ballet dancer Nicolas Rowe, who has used dance in many of the world's most traumatised communities to help children to cope with their suffering,

Saskia Havekes of Grandiflora fame, a woman who uses natural beauty every day to inspire and delight,

and finally,

David Trubridge, furniture and lighting designer whose work graces many a Melbourne showroom.

Compulsory reading for one's comfy chair, bedside table or public transport vehicle.
