My first workshop for international students suppo

My first workshop for international students supported by @studynorthernterritory is this Saturday @starwincollective and it is fully booked! What’s even more exciting is that @danella.lee.90 will be providing damper and tea! I don’t know if it can get any better than that? Grateful to be collecting , connecting and sharing on #larrakiacountry . I will be announcing more workshops in the next few weeks. There are still a few spaces left in the next workshop in the series with special guest facilitator Rachel Baker from @yapaskirts who will be teaching Indigenous weaving ways, but be quick as this one is filling up quickly . The link to tickets is in my bio. Tell your international student mates. #basketry #weavingwellness #darwin #ilovedarwin #ecoart #fibreart #fibreartistsofinstagram

Today I read some sad news I want to share. Bel

Today I read some sad news I want to share. Below is an excerpt from An ABC story by Karyn Wilson and Erin Seimmer. ‘Dead, sick baby turtles wash up on central Queensland beaches after eating plastic.

Key points:

Many sick and dead turtles have been found on beaches near Yeppoon after eating plastic.
The Department of Environment is working with international researchers to study the impact of plastic on marine life.
Dr Col Limpus says “breeding numbers will be affected in decades to come . We had one little turtle that's 8 centimetres long and it [had consumed] a piece of plastic film, glad wrap type of film, that was 5cm by 2cm," he said.

"I mean, that is a heck of a big piece of plastic in such a small animal”’ What have we done?
