Precious Little team returns to Australia


As the title suggests, we're back home in Sydney...

It's a little disorientating to be back in the glitz of Tamarama after three months in Africa, but we've brought a little of that continent back with us (in the form of drawings and photos like the one above).

We're both back into working our respective jobs. Leonie cuts TV commercials and other films and I write for TV shows. While we were in Tanzania, we also made a pilot for a TV show, so we didn't laze about as much as you should on holiday. Shame.

Next step for us is to find a suitable gallery for the Precious Little exhibition - around April - and to seek someone who can help us with framing. We estimate we'll have around 70 drawings to be sold on the night, as well as some stunning photographs and even some Masaai jewellery.

In the spirit of the cheerful schools we visited, we plan the show as a happy night with an African flavour, not a dour evening where you're motivated to contribute by feeling guilt or pity. Africa isn't a dark, depressing place... it's colourful and vibrant... and that's just what we want our event to be.

We welcome any suggestions and offers of assistance - especially from those who have skills in framing : )

Cheers!
