If you are especially well versed at the internets then you'll probably know about this diamond already. If you are not, learn this. Charwei Tsai is both an artist and one of those independent publishing earth mother types - but not in an annoying way. Her platform is Lovely Daze, a surprisingly analogue approach to deep thinking. Issue 6's floral titling pays homage to Gertrude Stein and chronicles the women in Tsai's life, with the chapters presented as months and based on cycles of the moon.
Showing life through the eyes of Alba Roberts, Tsering Tashi, Sita Raiter and others, these personal accounts honour a lot of clever ladies. Just like Charwei Tsai's work, Lovely Daze infects the chemistry of your mind and politely punctuates its habitat.

ThreeThousand is a subcultural guide to Melbourne, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Melbourne writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
