Good morning all!<br />
<br />
What a beautiful Autumn day to announce the launch of my new website! It's been a while in the works, and while it will always be a work in progress, I am thrilled to share it with you all <a href="http://lucyjames.net/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
My email and web address are still the same, however, it is with a slight hint of melancholy that I will be phasing out The Warming Room – I know, it's the end of an era! The new site will now have it's own news page, and you can check out all happenings there from here on in. For those of you who enjoy a good old fashioned 'trawl' - I will be keeping this blog account online for some good ole-fashioned archived arty goodness.<br />
<br />
Of course, hats off to my mates Richard and Paul who helped me to bring it all together in one neat little power pack (as well as putting up with a cacophony of sweary emails from me over the last month or two – IT is not my thing).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Many thanks to all who have supported and watched the growth of The Warming Room – it's your enthusiasm and encouragement that has brought me to this point. I'm stoked to be bringing it to the next level.<br />
See you on the other side.<br />

It's running a little bit late, but that's ok – I've been knocked out by a seasonal cold, so feeling happy to just be mooching around and resting.<br />
<br />
It's been interesting to see what kind of studio doodling has been materialising, and I thought this work was particularly relevant in relation to my pending arrival.<br />

I may not be answering my phone, text messages, the front door or any questions about anything much for the next little while – but don't worry, we're all in here, safe and sound, and very appreciative of the love we've been receiving!<br />

Happy Easter to you all - stay safe, warm and full of chocolate-y goodness.<br />

<br />
I can't believe it's that time of year again, but I thought I'd give the Yen Female Art Awards another crack (excuse the pun). This is a yearly award run by Yen magazine that helps to promote young female artists across Australia. AND there are some amaaaaaaaazing prizes to be had. I am a little ashamed to say that I am most excited by the prospect of a funkis shoe voucher.<br />

<br />
Yes, I know I have been on the quiet side lately, I've been trying to be sneaky ... lots of archiving and collating going on in the studio. However, I couldn't keep it under my hat anymore – I've been working on a brand-spanking-new website! And when I say 'I', I really mean that a very clever professional and dear friend has been working very hard while I hover around him making useful suggestions such as 'what if we just went and had coffee instead?' and 'shall I go and get those corn chips from the kitchen?'<br />
<br />

Anyway, the site is still very much under construction, but I wanted to share a little flavour with you all. I am hoping to have the site live in the next few weeks, which may mean that my current site may be down for a couple of days. In the interim, check in here for any updates/crossover details.<br />

<br /></div>
You might well ask. Indeed, I have been asking myself this for the past month. Due to the concentration of collaborative shows the past six months, my knife-time has been cut a little – yeah, see what I did there?! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/annadavernlucyjames?fref=ts" target="_blank">Anna Davern + Lucy James</a> was beautifully received, and we are really excited to be increasing our online presence in the next few weeks. <a href="http://bonuscardprojects.net/" target="_blank">BONUS CARD</a>'s debut show Loom of the Land was an incredible start to our now unstoppable plans for future works (just you wait and see). And, of course, Kent and I will be welcoming a mini-housemate into our midst in just a couple of short months!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAkHXMC_2dpvqbRjvTUwG1DFXgAilVNDSoQ0DZgapCXuTGyrbB0ad4oGrYnnGIWkrscoSDicWp6LYgD7nsBetfsjUwanzfgf7NU8NLPiA51kLHy6gDGNoeKdGcnmGeGCJPmgiKo8A28W8/s1600/photo-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAkHXMC_2dpvqbRjvTUwG1DFXgAilVNDSoQ0DZgapCXuTGyrbB0ad4oGrYnnGIWkrscoSDicWp6LYgD7nsBetfsjUwanzfgf7NU8NLPiA51kLHy6gDGNoeKdGcnmGeGCJPmgiKo8A28W8/s1600/photo-3.JPG" height="640" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
So, while there has been a lot of reshuffling in our tiny little house, we are in no way slowing down our creative endeavours. It has been fantastic to have such a large concentration of exhibiting opportunities in such a short amount of time, however I am really pleased to be able to return to the drawing board and start playing with some new ideas and projects. There are big plans in store for this year, and I for one am truly excited to pick up where I left off last year and get stuck into some of the works that were put aside to make room for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/annadavernlucyjames?fref=ts" target="_blank">Anna Davern + Lucy James</a> and <a href="http://bonuscardprojects.net/" target="_blank">BONUS CARD</a>.<br />
<br />
Watch this space, it's time to play.<br />

This is a very limited run of jewellery and archival pigment prints, designed and created by <a href="http://annadavern.com.au/" target="_blank">Anna</a> and myself with nothing but a mutual love for shiny sparkles and each other (and a lot of hard physical grunt work ... and some other stuff). I believe Craft have but a few of each style, so do get online now and get yourself or a buddy a cool treat. </div>

<a href="http://www.kentwilson.net/" target="_blank">Kent </a>and I headed to Yarra Glen for a much needed break this week, with plans to eat, read, swim, see native flora and fauna and rejuvenate. However, in true tradition, we instead dropped like a ton of bricks with a sinus/virus/headcold/spewing extravaganza. It was really quite vile. I'm sorry to the proprietors of the Valley Guest House for decimating their waste paper basket. More than once.<br />
<br />
In GOOD news though, we are definitely on the mend, and were forced to rest on our laurels (in a weepy, hallucinogenic sort of way), and are now already deviously planning what might be coming next for BONUS CARD. We will be doing a Q&A with the Curator of Craft, Debbie Pryor, which will be available online next week. In the meantime, head over to the <a href="http://bonuscardprojects.net/2014/01/21/opening-night/" target="_blank">BONUS CARD</a> blog to see some fantastic opening night shots taken by Tash Sorensen. You can see a full price list of available works on the <a href="http://www.craft.org.au/See/exhibitions/bonus-card-loom-of-the-land/" target="_blank">Craft website</a>. <br />

Many thanks again for your ongoing support, we can't wait to share the next chapter with you!<br />

Everyone wants you to drink more, stay up later, party harder and have much more fun than you might on any other given night. I can't handle the pressure. Then I get annoyed that everyone sleeps in on New Years day – hello, it's the start of a whole new year, don't you want to get started?! I love New Years day, love love love it. It's when I coordinate all my 2014 planners (because I have a yearly wall calendar, a month-by-month wall calendar, my pocket diary and my day-to-day list of things to do) and get up early and shout loudly and PLAN!!! Which people with appalling hangovers don't tend to be very interested in, weirdly enough. It's the day of the year when all I want to do is go aggressively shopping for all those little useful things I always forget about and think I really need (2014: salad spinner, wooden spoons, copious amounts of plastic containers and things that probably don't even exist, like drawer dividers, to name but a few). They should call it Planning Day.<br />
<br />
I'm really never sorry to see a year go, I'm far too interested in what's coming next to spend my last day of any given year just hanging out – I need to plan for Planning Day. And so I'd like to share that energy with those of you in particular who have had a really crappy year. In the last couple of months, many of my nearest and dearest have been experiencing some real difficulties. I hope that 2014 is kinder to you all.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I am happy to see 2013 go. For me, while this year has been incredibly exciting and busy, it has also been quite trying. I am very much looking forward to 2014, in which the tune of life will definitely change (whether that means it will be any less busy or exciting, only time can tell). To all of you who share my sentiment (it's ok, you can tell 2013 to fuck right off if you like), I send out the warmest of wishes to you for the coming year, and hope that 2014 is kind, healing, exciting and whatever else it needs to be for you.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to share my upcoming projects for next year with you all! To get you started, I hope to see some of your lovely faces at the launch of BONUS CARD's debut show, <i>Loom of the Land</i>, at <a href="http://www.craft.org.au/" target="_blank">Craft</a> on 16 January. Thank you all for your amazing and ongoing support, happiest of New Years, whatever form that may be for you (anyone want to borrow my label machine?).<br />

Generally, we are very good at being very busy. I feel that we often keep this busyness as a safety guard – god forbid someone finds out we've been relaxing, unemployed, not particularly stressed or just taking things slowly. I know I am guilty of this very-busy-very-important mentality almost permanently.<br />
<br />
This year, when people gasp 'Oh you HAVE been busy!' I have tried to respond with 'Yes I have, but everyone is busy' – because everyone really is. It doesn't really matter what you're doing, but time is full of these luscious spaces in which to fill with all sorts of things. For example, in the last few months, I have been busy doing many things, some of which involve nanna naps, watching Parks and Recreation, drinking coffee (I think most locals in my town think that all I do is swan about main street, cafe-hopping – they're not entirely wrong), doing my laundry, sitting quietly. It has felt like a big year though. I've also had my first book as Editor go to print, become a fully qualified Yoga instructor, launched my first range of jewellery and had <a href="http://www.catpeoplemagazine.com/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">Japanese school girls lose their shit over my spotty cats</a>.<br />
<br />
It was a hectic year balancing shows, other work and study, and I am so grateful for your support. My Annual Studio Sale was great success, with this year's proceeds going to the <a href="http://www.asrc.org.au/get-involved/give-money/donate/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">Asylum Seeker Resource Centre Christmas Appeal</a> – many humble thanks to those who were able to contribute, we were able to raise a fat $1000, which will help to contribute to the cost of moving the ASRC to a much needed bigger space in 2014.<br />
<br />
And before I nick off for my highly anticipated Summer break next month, I'd like to introduce a new project on the horizon, in collaboration with none other than <a href="http://www.kentwilson.net/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">Kent Wilson</a>. Our new venture <a href="http://bonuscardprojects.net/about/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">BONUS CARD</a> will launch its first show,<em> Loom of the Land</em>. On behalf of BONUS CARD I warmly invite you all to join us in the New Year to celebrate the opening at <a href="http://www.craft.org.au/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">Craft</a>. We are fortunate enough to have the gorgeous <a href="http://www.ausbell.com.au/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">Anton Hasell</a> (Artist and Director of Australian Bell) opening the exhibition, as well as new exhibits by Troy Emery and John Brooks also showing.<br />

<br />
In the meantime, wishing all you gorgeous people a happy and safe Christmas and New Year period. Thank you as always for supporting these creative endeavours, it would not be possible without you.<br />
<br />
See you on the other side!<br />

As everyone is winding down (or up) for the holiday season, this is when I start to get really feisty in the studio. Projects are bubbling away, and I am running out of space! So, to celebrate the last week of the sale (and many people's working week – yay!), all shipping within Australia*** is now FREE! Please note that international folks will still need to <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/contact" target="_blank">contact me</a> in order to get work overseas – sorry guys.<br />
<br />
In my last-week-madness, I have also added a few sneaky mystery discounts here and there on some of the works, so check it out! OH MY GOD!<br />
<br />
10% of sales will still head on over to the <a href="http://www.asrc.org.au/" target="_blank">Asylum Seeker Resource Centre</a> for their Christmas Appeal, and delivery will be ASAP - please note that at this time of year, Australia Post is under a lot of pressure, and often there can be delays. For local deliveries/pick up, I will aim to accommodate you as best I can. If you have any concerns about getting goods by Christmas, PLEASE <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/contact" target="_blank">contact me</a> ASAP and I will do my best to help you out.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to all for your juicy love and support - nothing like going local and lovely for Christmas this year I say.<br />
<br />

<br />
*** Please note that some work is LOCAL delivery only. If you are interstate and want to get any of these works, please <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/contact" target="_blank">get in touch</a> and we will work something out!<br />

Perhaps my enthusiasm is out of place, but while the <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">studio sale</a> is indeed not ending until December 20, those of you who want artwork under your Christmas tree this year, please place orders by THIS SUNDAY (Dec 15) to ensure they arrive in time! Those who want art for art and not for Christmas, then you have all the time in the world ... that is, until December 20. <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see available goodies.<br />
<br />
Local buyers (in Metro Melbourne and Northern Vic), please <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/contact" target="_blank">get in touch</a> re delivery. Any other queries or concerns, just give me a <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/contact" target="_blank">shout</a>.<br />
<br />
We are just over the $800 mark in terms of donations to the <a href="http://www.asrc.org.au/" target="_blank">Asylum Seeker Resource Centre</a> Christmas Appeal, and it would be super ace if we could push it to a neat thousand! Big juicy thanks to those who have given their support - I am stoked with what you've helped to achieve so far.<br />

Superpeople Debbie and Andrei from <a href="http://www.craft.org.au/" target="_blank">Craft</a> have worked tirelessly to get the stalls set up for Supermarket, and I must say it is looking spiffilicious – don't forget that the official launch is on Saturday 14 December from 1–4, involving FREE BOOZE AND FAIRY FLOSS! <a href="http://annadavern.com.au/" target="_blank">Anna</a> and myself will be swanning about, ready to help you with your self-gemming needs. However - we have done a very (very) small run of each style (Anna, did you make any extra for me?!), so if you want to secure your goodies, I recommend getting in there quick!<br />

I know I probably should have held these in for a little longer, you know to get the surprise factor going. But I simply couldn't hold it in anymore. These guys are printed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemuhl Photo Rag (fance-eh!) – they happen to look pretty delicious as a pair. Just saying.</div>

It feels like a we've had a super slow start to Spring, and with Summer starting THIS SUNDAY, I am feeling super behind with life. I haven't even begun to think about Christmas yet, but for those of you who are a little more on the ball, YES! The studio sale is still kicking along! Through this year's <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">studio sale</a>, so far we've raised over $800 for the <a href="http://www.asrc.org.au/" target="_blank">Asylum Seeker Resource Centre</a> Christmas Appeal, which is fantastic – thank you so much for the support.<br />
<br />
The sale is on until 20 December, though I urge those wishing to order works for Christmas gifts to get yourselves sorted by 15 December, to allow time for delivery/or pick up.<br />
<br />
Any questions, feel free to shoot me an <a href="mailto:lucy@lucyjames.net" target="_blank">email</a>, especially interstate friends who might be interested in larger works. We can ALWAYS sort something out. There are still a stack of beauties available, so get on it!<br />

There is still works available, and a little reminder that if you are based in Melbourne or the Macedon Ranges, larger works can be picked up or delivered to your door. Shazam! Have no idea what I'm talking about? Well geez! The online shop can be visited by <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">clicking right here</a>.<br />
<br />
All work is currently unframed, however feel free to <a href="http://lucyjames.bigcartel.com/contact" target="_blank">get in touch</a> should you wish to arrange this.<br />
<br />
Any other questions, give me a <a href="mailto:lucy@lucyjames.net" target="_blank">shout</a>!<br />
<br />
Love Lucy<br />

I finally got my hands on a copy of Cat People magazine and it is stunning! I recommend you get yourself a copy if you haven't already. You can buy <a href="http://catpeoplemagazine.com/shop/" target="_blank">them online here</a>, and brothers and sisters in Asia, I believe they are heading to bookstores around Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and MORE. Europe, I believe you're next.<br />

I am obviously very excited to have my work shown in this beautiful publication, but I have to say, the real pride is seeing my little friend Marcel featured in the contributors page – it's true. I have incurable cat love. Well done to Jessica and Gavin for putting together such a beautiful publication, as well as all the other contributors involved. I look forward to seeing the next one!<br />
