Conversations with Creative Women

I feel a bit behind, but I have only just discovered this book. I recently read about it in the latest Extra Curricular Mag, and was inspired by the story behind it. It was written by Tess McCabe of Creative Women's Circle which is based in Melbourne.
I am a bit jealous of Melbourne, as they have such great initiatives like CWC and a great support network for makers and artists, makes me wonder what we can do too here in Sydney..
So after reading about the self publishing story, I had to grab a copy, of course.. and it has just arrived. I am looking forward to getting stuck into some of these conversations with lots of creative types I already really admire! I love how they are just short snippets of creative women's lives (my type of reading!)
Also I love the title page artworks and the look/feel of the book. Always appreciate a well designed & curated book! Here are some of the pages..

 

A sky full of kindness.

I am pretty lucky to have been given this beautiful book, by one of my favourite artists Rob Ryan, as a gift from my lovely brother & sister in-law. It seems to be one of those perfect matches for a time in my life. The book is based on '2 birds on a epic adventure as they become parents for the first time'.

A sky full of kindness, is just as beautifully written as it is created, with each page paper cut in true Rob Ryan Style. One of my favourite part's is how proud the father-to-be is:

'The Father-to-be turned upon the window ledge to face the city (if not the entire world) that lay spread out beneath him. Swelled with pride he burst into song - louder than he had ever sung before. He could not tell you where the words came from, he certainly didn't plan them in his head, they rose directly from his heart up to his beak and from there they travelled out across the whole town and beyond..'

A bedtime story for every age, so maybe once my little bird arrives I can one day read this to her too. x
