Artwork Initials

I recently had a commission to draw individual initial artworks for each member of staff at a nursery/cafe as a Christmas persent. Each letter features different plants and cakes. I am thinking of adding these to my etsy shop, as they would make a great gift!

Bird with Blue Triangles

I have added a new original artwork to my etsy shop! I will be adding new items regularly. Lots of work to do today in the studio!

New Etsy shop!

I have finally, finally opened my Etsy store. Yay! I will be adding Original Artworks and art prints to this shop. Please find it here. I will continue with my Madeit store, which will sell mostly gift cards, gift tags and other papergoods. I hope you can check it out!

Handmade clay christmas ornaments.

I know there are lots of people using crocheted doilies to imprint an image into clay, and this is old news, but I think it looks lovely and decided to make some to include in my gift wrapping this year. It's so easy!

I've already made some jewellery bowls for my mum and sister using this tutorial by sodapop design found at the Creature Comforts blog.

Busy!

Preparing for the Millthorpe Markets this Sunday...



And a new gift wrap design, hand printed using a hand carved block and red ink.

Morran

I am so sad to hear that Camilla Engman's lovely companion Morran has passed away. This is my contribution to the Morran Book project.

Manly Cove

Some photos from a trip we took to Sydney. I still think the ferry ride is one of the nicest (and cheapest) things to do if you are visiting Sydney.

New artwork: Bird with Purple Flowers

I took a break from printing cards on the weekend to draw this little bird.

Green

The garden in the rain we had yesterday. We picked our first tomatoes today!

Handmade Christmas gift tags and gift wrap

I've carved some Christmas themed stamps and used them to print gift tags and gift wrap, also using the stamp I made of this guy.

The Junee Roundhouse Museum

My boyfriend is a train nerd, and because I'm extra nice I let him drag me across the state so he can go to various train related places/shows.

Giraffe

Linocut hearts

Another hand pulled linocut print is available in my shop! It looks really great framed, (the frame in this picture is from ikea) and would make a lovely gift for someone special.

Spring! Flowers and Butterflies

Bird Linocut

This is the first time I've attempted to make prints, rather than just gift tags. I have finally figured out the consistency of the ink/ how much to work the ink etc. after many failed attempts! I know I have marks on the prints that shouldn't be there because I haven't carved the lino fully but I actually like this effect, so have left it. For sale in the shop.

Little clay houses

Stamping

Based on a house I saw on holiday in Lindau, Germany.

Spring is here!
