introducing my new theme! It took ages to find one I liked that I felt reflected the look and feel I want for the site. Initially I was looking for ‘shabby chic’ styles, and was unable to find any designed for wordpress (only for blogger). Then by accident I stumbled upon different search criteria – […]
This was delivered to Tanith a few weeks ago – I finally resolved the issue of looking unfinished. I added ‘Exhibit A’, the microscope slide, the gold foil swirls, and the braiding down the bottom. Very happy with it now.
This is for someone at work who is about to have twin girls. I tried to use the baby stamp twice but it looked stupid, so I just went with one. I was going for a colourful, funky feel – it is ok, but not what I was trying to achieve. This time I have […]
I made this for one of the guys at work (called Pete) for his birthday. Pete is very attached to his man-bag. The pink polka-dotted bits are from a sheet of stickers. I think the bow is supposed to be a hair accessory, but it complemented the bow tie in the original photo so I […]
I did a 3D canvas art class last week at the Craft & Quilting Expo held at Darling Harbour last weekend. It was a different style of canvas art, and I had a lot of fun. I’ll post a picture of my efforts soon. I am also just about finished another piece – it is […]
Le Jardin – mixed media, 15cm x 30cm, May 2009. Irridescent watercolour on canvas, with collage, stamping, bollywood braid, paperflowers and found objects. As mentioned in a previous post, this was a gift for someone, and had to be finished on a tight deadline. The cluster of flowers was not part of my original concept, […]
Daedalist kindly took some more photos of this in better light. The details are more visible, the colours are a lot clearer, and the writing on the canvas is actually readable.
I have nearly finished one of the two canvases I am working on – it is a gift for my brother’s gf who is visiting with him from the UK, and they are leaving on Monday morning. So I’m on a very tight deadline. That is ok – I added the finishing touches this evening […]
This is somewhat overdue, but for my birthday in January, Dave and I went to see Sydney Theatre Company’s production for the Festival of Sydney. This was the ambitious and epic War of the Roses, which saw 8 of Shakespeare’s history plays stripped back and condensed into 2 parts, with 4 discrete acts, and was […]
Dear readers – if I have any – due to me being tekanogikally advanced, you can now click on the images I post here to see a larger version! With thanks to Dave for the instructions on How To. I have now gone back and fixed all of them this way. In a progress update, […]
