This post would have been more apt before yesterday given it's rained non-stop in Sydney for over a week. Today though it's a sun-shiney day. But I love the look of these umbrellas from New Zealand's Blunt Umbrellas.
If you went to visit Sculpture by the Sea then you probably rememeber Louisa Dawson installation Temporary displacement (2005) now on show at Newcastle Regional Art Gallery 's courtyard.

The Bird In Hand zine shop in Newcastle is holding a design challenge for local designers and artists.
'The design challenge for 2010 will be themed ‘Bird in the Hand’ and will see emerging designers and artists creating an image that will be screenprinted onto t-shirts, tote bags and postcards.
This is an exciting opportunity for emerging local artists to see their work printed on merchandise and their profile well-represented in local arts scene and media.'
