More old family slides

Here's me- nice poncho huh? And that's a serious band-aid, must have been a doozey.
The white-blonde hair is a bit perplexing- very "Village of the Damned",that is certainly long gone. I still just love my cosmos flowers though.

Exhibition

I'm entering 3 pieces in the Brunswick St Gallery's "Small Works" competition next week and this is one of them...

Harmonie Interieure

Harmonie Interieure is a beautiful French site selling wall decals and is full of amazing images.

Exhibition at Kick Gallery

A few of my favourite illustrators have collaborated on a joint exhibition currently on at Kick Gallery in High St Northcote.
Eveline Tarunadjaja's work (top image)in particular is wonderful.

Stamp design

How beautiful are these stamps from a book called "It's a Stamp World" discovered via Print and Pattern. Need to track this one down I think...thought you might like these in particular Simone!

Discoveries

I found some wonderful old childrens books while visiting home recently, and was amazed at some of the illustrations...surprisingly informative.
Also having a wonderful time exploring some old slides from the 1970's... they have the kind of texture and scratchiness it takes me ages to replicate on photoshop!

Joyce Mabel

This is for my beautiful Grandmother, rest in peace.

Felt weaving experiment

Having fun experimenting with weaving wool tops before felting them...it looks so pretty it's almost a shame to felt it.

Autumn bird

This is a combination actual and digital collage of mine.
Autumn is here, and I'm getting back into the felting to make myself a rug for Winter. Yesterday I visited the Spinners and Weavers Guild shop (thanks Ros!)in Carlton to buy some more wool tops and it's in a fabulous old building opposite the Carlton Cemetery. There was a group of ladies in there working away and they had the heat up to the max- Ben wanted to turn their building into a Recording Studio, but I don't think those ladies are going anywhere soon...

new tshirt design

My latest design on Red Bubble.

Maiden hair

Discovered this beautiful jewellery by Maria Jauhianen via dear ada's blog and it reminded me of my own photograph- the maiden hair/ginko type leaves are irrestible.

More baby joy!

Welcome Matilda May!

Talking to myself...

...but that's o.k.
It's been a weird stressful week or so for a variety of reasons, one of the big ones being the de-sexing operation on little Lefty. She has a bunch of nasty stitches and a plastic funnel on her head, it's horrible. Can't wait till she can get those stitches out- only 4 more days to go...hopefully.

Lots of creative impulses, but not sure where to start to make them happen. Nice to see my "Grow" collage has had so many views on Etsy. It can be so intimidating to see all the amazing work other people have out there on the internet, but inspiring too. I wish I could stand the idea of "selling myself"- self promotion just is not my thing.

my welcome to little Marcus
