A few weeks ago my work was in an exhibition as part of the launch of Vintage Garage, a Melbourne store selling rare and unique and nostalgic things. It’s a bit strange having work appear in interstate shows but it’s also very exciting! I’m also really happy that the shows I’ve been doing lately aren’t…

Friday Fance: A jumbled assortment
Tassels. I’m totally thinking about tassels lately. Flett Bertram’s tassel dresses (seen on Style Bubble) remind me of my Nana’s house and how she’d have these tassels hanging from the old keys stuck in the doors of her display cabinets. I actually have one of those display cabinets now, and a long tassel dangles from…
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…
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…
On my walls
Considering that I’m an artist, I have an embarrassingly small collection of art by other people in my house! The above framed drawings were bought a little while ago, but I’ve only just gotten around to finding frames for them. The print on the left is by Catherine Campbell, and the original drawing on the…
It’s June already!
I always think I’ll get these desktops done early but I rarely do, my months just seem to get busier and busier! Today I can offer you June’s wallpaper but a few hours late – or not at all if your particular part of the world is still clinging to May 31st. Pick a resolution!…
Revealing my Disband pieces
By all accounts the Disband opening went well, and was well-received! Horah to Renee-Anne and Angela for organising another smashing show! In addition to designing the logo and poster, I exhibited three pieces and now that the show has officially opened I can grant you a looksee too. There are rooms in this house that…
Friday Fance: as yet unnamed
Rachel O’Neill‘s velcro pieces are so playful and give me lots of ideas for DIY projects! She creates beautiful pieces on commission for events, but I’d want a large light fitting like this for keeps. This photo is from decor8, and it’s supposed to be about the wallpaper by Turner Pocock BUT it’s really all…
Stones Corner Yarnbombing
Today Nick and I toddled down to Stones Corner to hang out with some friends who were in the area, and I was excited to see that the area had been yarnbombed. I knew there was a yarnbombing event coming up (psst, go here and confirm your attendance!) but I didn’t know that the bombing…
