11:02p - cute things only - left at clippers cafe, glebe pt road*
Each week, a decorated matchbox with a tiny present hidden inside is left by a girl (and sometimes willing friends) somewhere in her travels. It's a random act of semi-artistic kindness aimed at disrupting someone's day in a tiny but positive way. That's if they dare to pick it up...
It's an itty bitty knitted finger puppet of a lama that I thought I'd lost somewhere in the horrible mess that is my bedroom. Haline bunnies gave it to me a couple months ago and it made me so happy but still did not prevent it being misplaced. Haline Ly is a good buddy of my friend Matt, a smiley girl and a very talented illustrator. We met last year when I was helping out with some artist talks at their old high school. I like her, she looks like what photos tell me my mother looked at her age and she is so very friendly. We started corresponding only via mail and it's always a nice surprise to hear from her.
A couple weeks back I went to see Three Minute Sydney, which was the opening night of the Creative/Vivid Sydney festival. Matt gave a talk and his time lapse illustration video was incredible. Two thirds of the way through I was super surprised to see a sketch of a matchbox present appear on a massive screen in front of everyone. One of the most beautiful surprises ever.
