just a quick mention before i head off to sleep that over the next few days ill be updating the shop with these babies!
click image to go to shop
I thought that it was time for me to share some photos of my latest addition to the house! My very pretty, very lighty fiber optic christmas tree! No need for lights, it lights up itself. Annnnnd it SPINS! hehe. Its only little but its very lovely.
I also started wrapping some of my presents! They are all in brown paper tied up with string (those are a few of my favourite things hehe). And of course, my favourite edition to the wrapping is the little gift tags that I downloaded from lilly piri blog!. They are so sweet and wonderful and I suggest you printing off a few for your own wrapping!
Christmas is so close!
- finish all christmas shopping! (and the best bit WRAPPING!) (need to get paid to finish this task)
- clean up rooms (I have taken over too bedrooms in my house!!)
- create create create!!! take photos of some new exciting things for the shop. and get making on some new exciting things.
- take a photo of my christmas tree so i can show you how pretty it is.
i dont like posting without a photo. but i really have nothing to show you :(
I sure do spend a lot of time checking out the successful stores of etsy. Maybe its an obsession of mine, maybe it is just because I look at these stores with such amazement and think to my self.... wow. I guess it gives me something to aspire to.
What I have started to notice is that these very successful stores, e.g. ashleyg and the black apple have such hugely successful (or would you say popular) blogs. Everything stems from their blog. kitty genius and inside a black apple. When they are next posting something original or rare so people can be there the second they post it. Right down to what they ate for breakfast. They have a following of people.
I love posting blogs, i love reading blogs and i love having a blog. I dont want my blog to be just about every time I post something new in my shop. But then again that is largely what I am excited about. What interests people enough to come back to my blog? I would love to know if anyone did stalk my blog, like I stalk so many others. hehe.
Well that was just a little bit of self expression for you all. Maybe you need to expect more of this.
But a post is not a post without a picture!

shake the can, its worth it
Apart from all the love and attention I have been getting (hehe) I have been working hard on lots of commissions, which i guess doesnt give me much time to update my shop :( But if you are struggling to find an christmas present for anyone, dont hesitate to visit my little shop. It will bring you lots of christmas cheer.
Hopefully it wont be so long between drinks.
And say hello, I like a chat.
Sorry it has been so long, it has been such a crazy time for me! This is one of the reasons, the Hills Craft Fair. I applied, thinking I wouldnt get in, and then found out i was in, but it was in 4 days time, so i crazyly got everything orgainised just in time.
It was a pretty good day, fairly quiet, but I didnt know what to expect so it was a good experience. Im in another one on the seventh of december, so you are anywhere near the castle hill showground, come on by, i think it starts at 3pm..
Hope all is well.
i am overly excited to announce that i think (at this stage) that my work will be exhibited in this very wonderful festival known as la femme
please check out the myspace for more details! but my work! there! yay!

i had such a great weekend! my boyfriend (foreshore dynamic) bought me two tickets to see josh pyke for our two years together for sat night, and i had already bought tickets to see ben kweller for friday night. so we had a wonderful time seeing and listing to wonderful music. I had seen ben kweller live before, and even though i still loved it, i think i preferred josh pyke because it was so new and amazing!

i was inspired a few days ago to create some little ink and watercolour works
there are five in totally, and i will be slowly making them available in my etsy shop
if you are interested they are only $25 US and for an original drawing, i think thats rather good :D :D
stay tuned for the others
I recently orders some fine art prints of one of my illustrations. They came out rather nicely and so they are on offer for sale at my shop
They have been printed professionally onto fine art paper and would be a lovely addition to your illustrationish collection. Or whatever. So please. Have a look!!
she is finally framed and up on my wall!
this is a beautiful original drawing and watercolour from one of my favourite artists catherine campbell a.k.a my folk lover. I bought this a few weeks ago because i just fell in love with it the moment i saw it!
This will be the first of many for my collection of originals and prints, I have a print from kjs design on its way to my wall too!!!
Go check out her shop, you will love it!
todays day of drawing resulting in these two illustrations. after spending much time in the internet artistic community i have been inspired and influenced to tried out different methods and approaches. i love working with graphite and watercolour and have in the past, but tried to work in a more "illustratie" way. full bodies. etc.
I am going to submit these to my redbubble account where you can check them out with my other drawings and buy cards and prints.
however, for those looking, do you think you would be interested in some fine art prints that would be signed as well. the redbubble organises all the printing and things for me so they are not actually signed and i wont actually see them. I am getting some fine art prints made at the moment of some other drawings and if they turn out nice would people be interested in these as well.
I would also sometime like to sell the originals... anyone interested?
thanks everyone! :D

Sorry everyone!
A while ago i encouraged my boyfriend to open up an etsy store, with the hope that he might sell a few of his handprinted tees! unfortunately, while he has been doing really well selling through another site, (check it out here and by promoting through his myspace so far etsy has not served him well. So i just thought id give a little promo and urge you to check out his etsy store!!!! Let me know what you think!
not something that i typically spend my time doing, however a recent project had my drawing lots of abstract drawings that ultimately created an animation. i should think about uploading that but it seems too tricky.
anyway, these are a selection of 30 drawings i did that all "flowed" from one to the next.
they would look rather lovely framed as a part of a series and if you are interested in such a think these ones are available for sale over in my etsy shop
they are only $28 each and all in my post below you will see an offer regarding shipping which you should also take advantage of!
take care
Check out my lasted deal on the new indie contests site!
Go have a look, if shipping has been holding you back, here is your chance!
