Collections

I love collecting little objects from nature - my collections are everywhere in my house - shells and seeds are my favourite, and the other day when I walked outside I saw our palm tree had dropped so many little beautifully coloured seeds.

I quickly collected them up to display on our side-board, I think they fitted in quite well with my other items! The colours remind me of a tropical sunset, a great combination!

Waves

It's been almost 3 years since I moved to a house near the ocean, and I am still not tired of it- I can hear the waves when I'm working in my office late at night, I can go for a walk on the beach everyday and my shell collection is extra special because they all came from so close to home.

Because of this, I have been wanting to do work based around the ocean for quite a while.

I have 4 new marine-based designs on the way, this is my favourite so far - I am loving origami forms at the moment so this is a perfect fusion of the two loves.

Time Away...

Luke and I have spent some time away relaxing before our next big project - we took some time out to visit Uluru.

I have been dying to see this part of Australia since I was very young, so it was great to finally get out there. It was a magical place, and lived up to all my expectations. The weather was beautiful, the colours were amazing, I was quite sad to come home again!

I am keen to start using some brighter colours in my work, hopefully these will start to work their way through soon.
