The Weekend in Snapshots

Bathed my furry friend.

Preparing for the end of this week.

Took some photos of my latest project.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Wonderful Wedesday - What caught my eye...

The weather is beginning to have a bite of coolness to it. After looking through madeit.com.au, I found this unique item...

Felted scarf wrap by 'Yadviga'

I love the uniqueness of this item and the ability to wear this item various ways. I love the speckles of colour on the brown background. It would make a lovely shawl or scarf to highlight an outfit and to create a bit of warmth. What an eye catcing piece!

Thanks for stopping by!

Monday in the Making

It has been a very busy week. It is that time of the term again where due dates for assessments are quickly looming. Hence, activity in the studio has been minimal...

...however, after a mammoth effort on Saturday, I was able to take some time off from work and unwind with some creativity...

I am so close to finishing this project! Last Monday I showed the tree image that I created on the canvas. This weekend, I adhered all the pieces and added paint and a quote. I did a bit of drawing and highlighting. Just a few more steps to go...

For completed cards and canvases, check out my Madeit store (click here).

The Weekend in Snapshots

We welcomed a new car. Just a little sad to see the old one go...

It's that time of the term again, therefore this machine became my friend...

... I just had to spend some time mixing up some paint and creating.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Wonderful Wednesday - What caught my eye...

This week, I went searching madeit.com.au for some aqua coloured finds... Here is something that caught my eye...

Little Dumpling Coin Purse by 'Kerri's Hangups'

How cute! This little purse could hold your loose change and more... I love the retro, bright coloured fabric and design. I love the large, clip openers. This would make a lovely gift for any lady (I'm also thinking of the hard-to-buy-for teenage girl) or why not keep it for yourself!

Thanks for viewing!

Monday in the Making

I simply love making my mixed media cards...however, I have been itching (for a little while now) to create a bigger canvas. I felt that it needed a tree...

This is a sneak peak at what has been created so far... The background is pretty well complete and consists of a blue and red based colour combination. I am now working on the tree, using a variety of recycyled materials. They are not necessary going to look like these original materials by the time I finish with them. After that stage is complete, it will be a matter of drawing in some details and adding my phrase.

Other completed mixed media products, including canvases and cards are in currently available in my store (click here)

The Weekend in Snapshots

 Went for a lovely bush walk with some family...

... in lovely country.

I hope that you had a lovely weekend!

Wonderful Wednesday - What caught my eye...

This week, I decided to search for some blue coloured items on madeit.com.au and this gorgeous item appeared...

Blue snowflake teardrop pendant by 'Glass Rainbows'

This item is stunning! I love the teardrop shape and I love the tiny snowflakes that are captured in the blue resin. A gorgeous, wintery accessory...

Thanks for viewing!

Monday in the Making

I have finally finished my latest set of greeting cards...

I wanted to create a set of cards with a yellow base. I love the vibrant yellow, mixed with bright blue and grey.

Created on an upcycled collector card, each card uses paint, fabric, drawing, decoupage and textural techniques. Even though they use the same techniques, each card is unique, to make greetings personal. 

This set is currently available in store (click here).

The Weekend in Snapshots

Sitting by the warm fire.

Started reading a new book from the Library.

Picked a very ripe pomegranate.

I hope that you had a lovely weekend!
