issue 120

Hip hip hooray – it’s frankie’s 20th birthday! There’s so much to love about this very special issue, which features a beaded cover artwork designed by Rachel Burke (you can find out how she made it inside!). Between issue 120’s pretty matte pages, you’ll be able to time travel back to 2004, take a peek inside a few artists’ bathrooms, and cook up a delightful roast chook recipe. Plus, you’ll meet a tonne of ace Aussie creatives, including a collage artist who’s inspired by the concept of home, a ceramicist who covers her vases in upcycled textiles, and a photographer who explored Japan at night. There’s also a frankie Hall of Fame, in which we chat to the clever creators of frankie, Lara Burke and Louise Bannister. We hope you enjoy soaking up this issue as much as we enjoyed making it – it’s party time!
