Blooming and Bold


Without the buzzards and bees

Where would we bee?


A blog by Nicolle Kuna

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.

Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.

Arty SGA

I attended a fantastic fund-raiser last night for Sustainable Gardening Australia. It's a wonderful organisation and the website is very extensive, with no end of topics, information pages and factsheets on sustainable gardening.

Some performance art at fund-raiser -  there were these paper mache sculptures of skyscrapers (attached to two men crouched below sand-pit tables), and when the haunting music started, slowly came to life,  uprooting the soily buildings from the sand-pit and wearing monster masks, proceeded to scare the crowd with their moans and roars, dispersing soil everywhere.  The cantankerous monsters obviously represented the earth, having a good whinge at us humans.

I thought with all the art I have posted on this blogspot, I should have a dedication to all artists who help us to give the earth the good press it deserves.  So I thought it was time I posted this painting, by Andrew Ioannidis again.  Bellisima!
