New Work, New Blog, New Shop

Here is a sneak preview of some new work and projects in the pipline. It will mean a new blog and finally opening a shop so stay tuned! Hope everyone has a happy and safe easter.

New Work - Iris

I made this for a gift for my friends 30th - I can post it as I have finally sent it (sorry it's so late Katherine - Happy Birthday!). 

 

New Works

A few new works in the pipeline - one is a belated birthday gift for a friend and the other is for a grant application. Will post finished works soon. Very mysterious - I know....

Waiting at the Alter

Well the Groom is ready and waiting for his big day. The bride should be along shortly, she just needs some legs to walk up the aisle. Playing around with a couple of shots here for potential invitation images. Plenty to do and running out of time!

She had legs that just wouldn't quit

I contemplated for a moment giving bonnie long legs but have since changed my mind. It is taking me a while to finish her as its hard to find any spare time at the moment.

On another note and the reason for this post is I want to giveaway - thats right GIVEAWAY this Canon printer cartridges and postcard set. I bought it to use the postcards but alas i think they only work with the canon printer as they did not work with my HP printer. It's been hanging around my house for ages and I just want to move it to somewhere where it will be used. The details are: Canon KP-361Px 3 (none opened), Post Card Size 100 x 148mm, 108 sheets (minus 2). You can have it for free I would only ask if you would pay for the postage and that's it!

On a cool art note - my mum forwarded me this email with artwork made from tyres - how cool is this! Unfortunately I don't have the source to quote it only an email forward so if anyone knows please let me know so I can credit them.

Exhibitions, Weddings, Folio Work and Misc Whooha

I have had the best week having my parents down cleaning up my house, doing my washing, babysitting so we can go see Ponyo (the new miyazaki film) and generally giving me a big break while they hung out with their little grandaughter!

Have been to the Dali exhibition at the NGV which was awesome, plenty of inspiration but the exhibition was huge so have to go back and have another look. My favourite parts were the animation with Disney and a set for hitchcock he designed (oh and also the metal beating heart at the end!).

I have loaded some more work into my portfolio on flickr, part of the Dream Series again based on some drunken nights out with my friends at uni. I really liked the shadows of the girl dancing into the scene, depending on how you moved the light it made her look like she was moving. Have been working on a few other projects (including the wedding!) but will have to fill you in later!

Magical Pony Farm Purchase!

I'm so excited cause I finally decided to buy a work by Magical Pony Farm and it arrived in the mail today! It's a beautiful embroidery of a Finch in a vintage frame which has been painted. I love it - i just need to find somewhere to put it now!

Haven't had much of a chance to make much at the moment with baby duties and wedding planning but stay tuned to The Creative Haven as we will be launching our puzzle line and the animation by the end of August!
