I did a bit of sprucing up on my blog this evening. I’d been meaning to for a while but time had gotten away from me! As always, I got way too into it and started playing in Illustrator with lettering I’d copied from sketches. My soundtrack all day has been Sia’s new album, We…
No text, just snaps
[Several people have been interested in buying my notebook when I’ve completed it… I’m not sure what I think of that. I guess everything’s for sale, at a price!]
Chambord Shine Awards – Sydney
Sponsored by Nuffnang We three bloggers landed in Sydney yesterday morning, ready for the town to work its butt off at the Shine Awards. Brisbane’s designers kicked off proceedings fabulously and Melbourne’s talent totally met the challenge, so we were all curious to see how Sydney’s local designers were going to measure up in the…
Chambord Shine Awards – Melbourne
Sponsored by Nuffnang It’s no secret that I am totally in love with Melbourne so I was very excited to fly down for the second heat of the Chambord Shine Awards! I’d packed my suitcase full of Queensland sunshine and my husband’s daggy old hoody in anticipation for a cold overnight stay but I was…
Detail oriented
I took a bunch of photos at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens the other week and most of the photos I took were of details. You might have noticed, but I am a fan of finely detailed things. I thought I’d post some of these just in case you’re inspired by details in nature too.
A new sketchbook for me
The other week I took some time to draw for myself, an unusual occurrence in the last six months – something I’ve desperately missed. I don’t know if any of these drawings are finished just yet, but I’ll be sure to put them up in my store when they are. (Yes, store! You can buy…
Friday Fance: Resourcefulness Boom
Pip at Meet Me at Mikes posted some of Lo Bjurulf’s interior styling work and I was in love. I’m a fan of mismatched, childish, chaotic things and I think being invited to this dinner party would be a lot of fun. Sometimes we are so taken with what we ought to buy and posses…
Chambord Shine Awards – Brisbane showcase
Sponsored by Nuffnang I’ve been invited to attend the Chambord Shine Awards in three states, to cover the heats and finals on my blog and also to involve you fancy lovely people to vote on your favourite fashion designs. It’s a huge honour to have been invited as a blogger and considering the calibre of…
The clear blue skies of July
I’ve been doing a bit of drawing and experimenting for myself in the last week, and one of the things I’ve liked doing is drawing in white gouache over a black inked background. Doodling with a paintbrush is becoming a frequent thing for me because it helps relieve a lot of hand and wrist pain…
Fat Pig
I don’t see much theatre which is a shame because there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on on Brisbane, but I did manage to catch the Queensland Theatre Company’s production of Neil LaBute’s Fat Pig last night. I’m not going to lie, my interest was piqued by the title and when my friend Kathleen…
