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.

Weekend Soundtrack

I know it's over, but this weekend, the sun finally came out, the weather is starting to get a bit cooler, and the beach was just so lovely, made me put this CD on and leave it on - love!

The Alphabet

It has been a bit quiet on here lately, due to a lot of behind the scenes work. There is a new venture in the works - it will be up here in full detail soon which I am very excited about, as well as lots of new work.

In the next few months I am planning more card designs, letter sets, and posters. But for now I will post a few pics of an alphabet chart I have working on. This has been something I've always wanted to do! Just 2 letters as a sneak peak for now but I'm sure there'll be lots more to see soon...

Final LOVE!

My LOVE! cards arrived in the mail today - and are now in the shop!

I may not be back for a while, as YASI closes in - here's hoping for the best!

Christmas, New Year, Love & Floods...

I am a little late to the post on this one, but I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years.

It was a very wet one up here, which I'm sure is no surprise to those watching the news.

I feel like i've only just recovered from Christmas and New Year, and already I am rushed on to the next event. I have been working away on a range of cards featuring type as a centrepiece. Seeing as though Valentine's Day is only just around the corner, I have decided to push out the LOVE! card first.

what do you think?

My love & well-wishes go out to everyone suffering in QLD at the moment. for those wishing to donate, you can find more info here.
