Geelong Botanical Gardens in Spring sunshine-wildflower meadow of pink everlastings. This is just a small part of it.

Expanse of pink flowers. Two boulders are surrounded by the flowers.

Latest royalty statement shows there are another 69 copies of A Stitch in Line out in the world, in people's hands. Thank you so much, and happy stitching!

Thirty four hours. Still a bus ride, but home.

Five plus hours in transit in Bangkok. But at least the robot vacuum cleaners are friendly.

Ms 19 and I took the chance to further our joint enjoyment of silo art by tracking down this off-trail singleton in Geelong.

Son in law not being asked to take family photos in future…but such a proud day.

It’s April 30 (in this time zone). Martin, Kerry and I have been working with authors on their submissions for the Bridges conference and the editing is (nearly) done. @msmathcomp.bsky.social

In the foreground three people pose for a group photo with the busy foyer of a conference venue behind them.

Lovely day with Ms 19 seeing part of the zoo that we had not been to before.

Large butterfly on a leaf. Fluorescent blue, green, yellow splotches on black wings.

Orange and black butterfly sits on a blue hat.

Quick trip to the zoo with Ms 18. This lady was putting on quite a show with rolling and roaring.

Some views from the Exhibition of Mathematical Art at the AustMS meeting. One big plus of adapting a teaching space to be a gallery is big screens for digital art.

Gallery wall. Closest to the camera: One framed black and white drawing, nine colourful spiraling panels.

There’s silo art off the main trails! This one is in Brunswick. Yes, that’s the former NZ Prime Minister in inner suburbs of Melbourne.

Painted silo. Two women in comforting embrace. Also in image, several small buildings with graffiti and electricity wires.

I helped with a community art project for Christmas and there were so many left over polar fleece scraps destined for landfill that I had no unvent polar fleece tinsel.

Red and white fabric scraps threaded onto a cord.

Beautiful yellow flowering gum in Rupanyup. I’d never seen a bright yellow one before: red, pink, orange, scarlet, cream but not this golden shade.

Bright yellow flowers made up of thin spines, not conventional petals.

Oh my giddy aunt. Murtoa Stick Shed.

Raw wooden poles 20m in length hold up the ceiling of an old grain store. Floor area is 1.5 hectare. Floor is concrete, roof is iron. Dating from WW2 era.

The OG. The first silo art is so huge that it is best viewed from the other side of the highway. It’s at Brim. Last one for today at Arkona. It looks warmer than it is because of clear skies.

A young female sheep farmer, and an older man with his horse. We loved how much detail came out of the limited colour palette. By Kaff-eine, at Roseberry.

Skipping over Woomelang, this is by Rone, at Lascelles. This is a real local woman, and her husband is on the north face

When Ms 18 agreed that silo art would make a good road trip, it turned out that she had no idea what a silo was. Not metaphorically or as 30 m of concrete. She is blown away! We have seen 6 of these amazing works of public art today. This is Nullawil, by Smug.

We are very close in height, and apparently not supposed to have any toast (or wine).

In Bendigo today, and the #bendigoGallery is always worth a visit. Textile art.

Sewing class this week. It’s a “floppy pot” made from two small pieces of gorgeous Japanese printed duck (heavy cotton) from the scrap bin and a bold lining from the same bin. Christmas vibes.

So I decided to make the labels for the artworks in the exhibition of mathematical art at the Australian Mathematical Society conference...using LaTeX.

Cool today, but unmistakably Spring. Lunch with Ms 18 in Carlton. When I was a student at Melbourne University, I would sometimes meet my mum for lunch.

Yesterday I did a walkthrough of the rooms for the AustMS conference and chose the space for the inaugural art exhibition. (This isn’t it; this is the tearoom, where we enjoy this work from the university’s art collection.)

The practice piece was also a bit large. But here is the real deal. It's been fun. #crochetgrannylife

And here’s my practice piece. I deliberately cut it off so that the fact that I ran out of the lemon-coloured yarn with one side to go.

The drawing form was initially an adaptation to make a needle-free version for outreach activities where tracking the needles was difficult. But it was ideal for the 100 day Math Art Challenge. With stitching there are two patterns- there’s another on the reverse. I’ve used plastic needles recently
