Art FOR Children - a challenge
Did you know there is a World Children’s Day. Declared by the United Nations in 1954, it is celebrated in participating countries on a variety of days, many of them in the second half of the year.
So, the Art and Stories for Children Group challenges artists and writers alike to produce a World Children’s Day card. This will need to be an image…

A grim view of life
I’m doing my own Bubble (vox) populi on the darkness of so much writing on Redbubble. I’m interested to understand what it is that moves us as writers to express the darker side of life, the macabre or violent, gorey (beware, gorey fake blood), “twi…

As for the business of meeting local bubblers, well … a picture tells a thousand words.

Please read this - it's wonderful
I have just read the most delightful children’s poem by Michelle Whennan. It is currently in the featured section of the Art for Children Group.

What are we coming to? Aren't we free in Australia???
I’d like to direct you to Scott Robinson’s forum post regarding temporary laws in NSW which I find to be completely contrary to our way of life. Introduce them for one month and see how long it takes for them to be withdrawn!!!
Scary stuff , I think.

How a ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ has embarrassed me!
Let me set the dial on the ‘way back’ machine. I’ve set it for Sunday 6 March, 1997 – Clean Up Australia Day.
