For consistency, these will also be held the 3rd week of each month.<br />
<br />
We had a great start to the Ferntree Gully Community Reef with 12 women arriving to learn more and get inspired. It was wonderful to see the experienced crocheters helping the 'newbies'. Julie's feedback since the workshops is that the women are coming in to show her how they are progressing and sharing their excitement when their first piece starts to crenulate.<br />
Here is a picture of some of the women from the first workshop<br />

<em><span style="color: cyan;">Update on Warburton Group:</span></em><br />
The group has decided to make a felted panel to sew their crochet coral onto. The girls have done a great job. Rather than buy prepreared wool for the felt, the girls took on the challenge of the entire process from the raw fleece. Well done!!! Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. For those interested, the panel will be on display at the Bendigo Sheep & Wool Show in July 2011.The Melbourne Reefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17511470089517488947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350150969068562167.post-69107692335977980512011-04-04T02:11:00.000+10:002011-04-04T02:11:49.352+10:00News UpdateWe're going to the Australian Sheep & Wool Show in Bendigo !!<br />

'Is everything in the video really all found in Victoria? I had no idea! Are you sure it's not Qld? If you haven't seen the exhibition for yourself yet, come and find out what all the fuss is about.

Thank you to everyone of you!<br />
It's all getting very exciting now, crochet pieces have been arriving almost daily in preparation for our upcoming exhibition. We have well over 1,000 pieces of crochet coral. An outstanding effort!!<br />
You should all give yourselves a big pat on the back.<br />
We took possession of the Gallery space yesterday - more like a take over - boxes & suitcases full of crochet everywhere! The mammoth task of sorting has begun and the creation of the foundation for the display has begun........<br />
When can you see it ? Not just yet.....you need to wait just a little bit longer.<br />
Exhibition Dates: 9th October 2010 - 9th January 2011<br />

We had a wonderful time with Mark Rodrigue from Parks Vic last Saturday. Mark shared his knowledge about Victoria's reef systems with us and had lots of wonderful images to accompany his talk. I've had great feedback about how much you all learned about our local marine environment. Thank you Mark for your enthusiastic support of our project and your willingness to share your knowledge with us. Mark has also provided a DVD of underwater footage of Victoria's marine environment for us to play during the exhibition. There is a wonderful team of people from all professions and walks of life that are contributing to this project. Thank you to everyone who is helping make this a reality. Just to give you an idea as to how far afield our reach has got in Melbourne, this is where people came from to attend last Saturday: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Phillip Island, Mornington, Mentone, Carnegie, Oakleigh, Glen Iris, St Kilda, Lara, Northcote, Thornbury, Coburg, Bundoora, Ringwood, Croydon, Mitcham, Doncaster, Upwey, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek, Belgrave, Selby, Monbulk, Gembrook and Warburton. I've also been getting pieces by mail from as far afield as NSW and Alice Springs !! </span>Thank you all for your outstanding effort !

Last, but not least - A big thank you to everyone who came to Burrinja last Saturday!! What an amazing effort by everyone. You should all be very proud of your creations. Dawn from Gembrook has almost created the entire toxic reef by herself!! What talent and imagination. You can tell that Ursula from Phillip Island has a background in embroidery, the delicacy of her workmanship is breathtaking. There are so many of you who have created the most amazing pieces. It was very inspiring seeing it all starting to come together. I must admit that I was a bit concerned initially at the size of the space we had to fill. But thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of the combined Melbourne community, I worry no more!! It was wonderful watching you all looking at what others had done, admiring and appreciating each others work. This project certainly has created a wonderful new 'family' of crafters. We are going to have the most amazing exhibition. The standard just keeps getting better and better. Without each and every one of you The Melbourne Satellite Reef would not be so wonderfully diverse and vibrant. So I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making the dream come alive.The Melbourne Reefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17511470089517488947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350150969068562167.post-27571417075406720182010-07-08T13:01:00.007+10:002010-07-20T18:35:39.287+10:00July WorkshopsLots happening this month starting with:<br />

"I remember Marj as a beautiful, vibrant woman. Always friendly with a smile and a kind word for everyone. I never heard her grumble and I feel privileged to have known her." Dawn Ashford<br />
"Marj was a wonderful artist who loved a challenge, each weekend she would ask for homework and would crochet coral for the Melbourne Reef in her room, becoming wilder and freer in her creativity. Her last piece of her many contributions was an octopus for the fluro cave.<br />
She rolled up her wool and left her crochet hook placed in it on her dressing table for me to find when I returned to work. A generous, creative, appreciative, adventurous artist will be greatly missed, but her coral lives on to make a difference for the worldwide project of the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef."

</div><div>I called in to <i>Belgrave South Primary School </i>to see how they were getting along. They are converting the corridor outside the art room into an underwater landscape. They have been very busy exploring options & ideas and it's looking fantastic. The school children are going to make a cave for us to accommodate the fluro pieces, they now have black lights installed in their corridor and everyone is getting excited about what fluoresces and what doesn't. Lots of distance estimating, measurements etc. involved, so keeping them busy. The video tape & plastic grass is also being put to good use. It is great to see the kids <i>out of school hours</i> with their video tape & crochet hooks - Well done Elizabeth, you certainly are getting them inspired. They are gearing up for education week 16 - 19 May, so I'll take some photos and let you know how they went.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Mark Rodrigue, Parks Victoria (Marine & Coasts) is getting some images together & an annotated presentation of Victorian Reefs for us to use publicly, which is wonderful!! Thank you Mark. Both Mark and Wendy Roberts (Reef Watch Victoria / Melbourne Museum) have been very supportive, thank you both very much for your support and enthusiasm for the project.</div>The Melbourne Reefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17511470089517488947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350150969068562167.post-44059215809216439262010-04-19T18:16:00.001+10:002010-04-19T18:18:06.759+10:00Workshops this week!!<b>Thursday 22nd April, 5pm - 8pm</b><br />
