This Sunday I will be selling some of my unframed art, wearable art pendants and keepsake boxes at the Suitcase Rummage in King George Square, Brisbane.
I’m looking forward to selling an an easy, casual atmosphere – it’s a good way to dip my toe into the water before the big Handmade Expo market next Saturday!
I hope to see you there 🙂
I had so much fun participating in the colour challenge from Two Happy Stampers last month, so I jumped at the chance to have a go at another one this month.
These are the colours we needed to use:
It’s a beautiful combination, but I found it a lot harder this time for some reason. Here’s what I came up with – I’ve called it “Coral Sky”:
I’m still not sure about it though – I’m going to have another go with these colours and see if I can improve on it. What do you think?
I love holidays! I get so much painting done 🙂
Here’s what I’ve been working on:
“Sunset Joy”
I’m hoping to donate this painting to the Cerebal Palsy League’s ‘Art for Arts Sake‘ charity auction next month (it has to be accepted first so fingers crossed!)
“Evening Song”
This one is going to be sent to someone special 🙂
I’ve also been working on some new canvas works – I’ll post details here soon. I hope everyone had a lovely Easter long weekend!
It’s Easter time again already. Easter means three things to me – family, holidays and CHOCOLATE!
I am notorious for having pretty much no willpower when it comes to chocolate. But it’s not just the edible kind I love! I love warm and inviting chocolate brown as a colour, too.
Here are some of my favourite chocolate brown items from Etsy:
From left to right and top to bottom:
1. The chotto tote/messenger in chocolate brown by Christy studio. It’s practical, stylish and comfortable to carry, and the chocolate brown colour would go with so many outfits!
2. Small chocolate flower hair pin by Princess Allure. Add a little feminine style to your outfit with this pretty hair pin! Each petal has been handcrafted using chocolate coloured satin, and it features three Swarovski crystals in the centre.
3. Chocolate rose necklace by Heather Berry. Chocolate brown faux pearls have been hand linked together and decorated with a creamy rose and filigree medallion. This pretty feminine necklace would go beautifully with the cardigan I’ve featured!
4. Chocolate Jar by TC Art. This doesn’t quite fit in to the rest of my theme which are all wearable items, but it is so cute I couldn’t resist including it! I’m a sucker for little jars and knick-knacks. How cute would this be filled with a few little chocolates?
5. Upcycled Cardigan – Chocolate Cookie by Caroline Joy. I just love the idea of upcycled vintage – it’s great for the environment and means you will have a completely unique item for your wardrobe. This cardigan is a great example of that – its a modern look using a rescued sweater.
6. Walk Tall vintage chocolate brown high heeled boots by Planet Claire Vintage. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots! I would definitely have snapped them up myself already if I didn’t have the feet of a giantess (they’re a size 5).
I hope you’ve enjoyed my selection of chocolate goodness this weekend! Please let me know what you think of the new format, too (i.e. putting all the pictures at the top together instead of spacing them out).
Have a safe and happy Easter!
I’m *really* late with posting this Illustration Friday painting – the new topic is due up sometime today. It took me a while to get the idea straight in my head.
Here’s what I came up with for the “rescue” topic:
A heart’s rescue.
