Prim and Fig were my first JerryBerry dolls. Fig was first and then Prim followed soon afterwards. They are Berry Basic 2011, now retired. They are the same, yet different.
Prim and Fig are wearing new Melacacia sweet dresses. They were actually made for Blythe dolls, but Prim and Fig wanted to try them on first! Thanks Mel! xo

Tree Houses for Swamp Dwellers
consisting of ten modular objects that read and function both as trees and as houses, Julia Morison’s work can be engaged with and explored on many levels.
The work incorporates light and plant forms, and creates spaces within itself for reflection and play. This significant legacy piece will remain as a permanent, re-locatable work in Christchurch City.

About the Event
Much energy has been devoted to debating what impact Britain’s departure from the European Union will have for trade and the economy but there has been far less scrutiny of what this will mean for national security. The impact of Brexit on UK-EU cooperation on intelligence, border security, cyber security, and serious crime remains unclear. Yet, with the challenges of adapting to the post-Brexit reality, leaving the European Union may see Britain chart a new course in our national security strategy. Looking towards an increasingly global approach for Britain’s security policy, alignments such as NATO, Five Eyes, and key bilateral relationships may become more significant. This event brings together some of the UK’s leading experts and decision makers in this space.
The title has nothing to do with the reality of the scene. There was no discussion, but a farewell. Both have embraced immediately after taking the picture. Then each went his way. But you were primed :-)

Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.
