[SEEDARTLAB] Sophie Munns

Sitting at the round table @piccolo_by_him absorbed in making plans I looked up at the vase of flowers on the table by @bottegafiorella & suddenly noticed this single stemmed branch of stunning leaves, drying pods & the flowering section all going on at once. Captivated of course I took photos & carefully placed the stem back I promise Lyndall 🫶🏽 I saw photos in my phone archive from 2015 the other day of this same species (or extremely similar Eucalyptus) growing outside the National Arbore...

several baskets filled with dried plants on top of a striped cloth covered tablecloth next to a window

When your back Patio suddenly becomes a seed sorting space. And there’s many more seedy boxes still lurking in the studio & garage. #projectdeclutter #novemberartsale #openstudioweekends #november16toDecember1 #or #seedartlab #byappointment Nb: A FB comment just now asking me to package and send them seeds reminded me how many people around this continent & also OS have asked me to supply them with seeds & even more oddly not even offered payment for my time of the value I place on my col...

an assortment of breads and other items on display in a room with art work

After a hibernation period since April the studio has not been such a enlivened space. Till yesterday’s 5 hours of solid organisation fueled by music I used to love decades ago - I thought that might remind me of a time of bountiful energy & keep the energy going! Today it’s quite joyful in here. The bottle brush is in full bloom out my window and there are places to sit without boxes on them. I’ve actually done a lot of sorting, emptying boxes & culling in the last 12 months really but n...

Friday late morning brekkie at Bulli, Marcoola Beach & sandy walk to see the ocean afterwards… Love a spacious beach cafe where you can come as you are … straight from the beach if needs be. A good pick for today @catherinemoney … with you in spirit @alisweres 🙌🏽⛅️🌊 #marcoolabeach #sunshinecoast #fridaymorning #pandanuscone #bullicafemarcoola #winteratthebeach #queenslandaustralia

Made good progress tonight but still a days work in between tomorrows appointments #onlinestoreupdate #calleryamegasperma #seedpod #nativewisteria #seedphotography #seedartlabstudiodotbigcarteldotcom This twining vine is native to northern coastal NSW and southern Queensland, so suits sub-tropical areas. It bears large trusses of purple pea flowers in late winter to spring, which resemble the exotic wisteria, but this vine is an evergreen....

there are some green leaves on the white tablecloth that says sophora totemetosa $ 200 00

This species is a favourite of mine - Sophora tomentosa - adopted into my Seed project as a recurring motif in 2010 it’s listed as an endangered species in Northern NSW yet not in SEQld last I heard. Varied manifestations of this form occur in nature… in various plant species including marine plants. It’s one of those forms that have found their way into visual culture across Millennia. Whenever there’s been a class in my studio it’s one of those seedpods that will be left on the table at t...
