Today I released two video's on my Youtube channel: Missladypetal Creations
The first is my latest vlog which you can find here:

And secondly and what has taken me most of the day to finish is my latest process video:

Last week I recorded an interview with Grant and Ali from Fringe Art & Culture.
We discussed my community engagement piece, 'Eyes in a Blanket' and also some feedback from my first art exhitibiton 'Environmental Elements'.
Part 1 finishes on some of my art therapy workshops that I conduct around Logan.
Sit down with a cuppa and listen to some of my thoughts and answers to questions about my art and what i think about art in the community.
Here is the link to part 1 of the interview: Part 1
Here is the link to part 2 of the interview: Part 2
As promised Part 2 is here and features a reading of an excerpt by Alaskan writer Regi McClain, read by Sandy Sharma as well as our continued chat with Peta.
