Flag progress 2

The lovely little magazine Extra Curricular is coming to an end after 20 issues.

My friend Ellie has been making Extra Curricular since the beginning, and every beautifully-designed issue has featured Antipodean artists and their work, as well as recipes, tutorials and interesting thoughts. 

I was thrilled to contribute several times over the years – including a tutorial for a Christmas wreath and a sleeping mask, and a few other things.

For this issue, I designed and made a 'campsite flag' and you can read more about this in the magazine. Hand-embroidered and appliqued onto linen, the idea is that the flags can be customised to different families and places, and used as an indoor wall-hanging or outside to mark a spot.

You can read more about the last issue here at the EC blog.

Thank you Ellie for putting together this treasure of a publication over the past years, and for showcasing lots of creativity from our part of the world.

I have an extra copy of issue 20 to give away. Just leave a comment below and I'll draw a winner on Monday.
Entries from anywhere in the world are welcome.

    What a great project, we are flagless campers so I obviously need to rectify that! I’ve seen that publication from time to time and always enjoyed it, what a shame it’s disappearing. Have a lovely weekend!

    Hello from Tasmania. What a great idea having a flag for one’s tent. We will be having a wee break in our tent this month so I think I had better try to make one. Love the linen you use. Sorry to hear about the EC mag.
