Karena Colquhoun is the South Australian one woman craft empire that is Magic Jelly.
She mixes crafty techniques with her love for old-fashioned aesthetic and themes: Paper, ink, dusty old magazines, vintage ephemera, off-register print
effects, halftones, gocco, lomo, vectors, patterns, tea & toast,
sparkly things, the smell of crisp new sketchbooks & pencil
shavings, faded old photos, jazz & swing, postcards, the seaside,
jellies, cowboys, sideshows, vintage toys & their packaging, little
things, snapshots, brown paper, street art, signage, textures, old
engravings, bittersweet memories, stationery, fresh new canvases, tins
of coloured pencils, gardenias, faded old newsprint, raspberries,
violets, rain...
She's just given a sneak peak of her new upcom ing gocco prints
here today.
