2011- What A Year!

Hi there and Happy Australia Day!
Well here I am back in the swing of things. January has been a bit of a recovery month. A lot of things have happened in the last couple of months. Hmmm let's see...... my birthday, Christmas, NYE, I got ENGAGED and I am pregnant with my first BABY!!! So 2011 should be a life changing year :D


I got some really neat gifts for Christmas and my birthday. These DilkaBear prints are a gift I received for Chrissy, you can buy them from her Etsy store. The parcel I received was so gorgeous! A lovely folder, with a little hand drawn bear on the front, a cute little ACEO and bookmark inside as extra little goodies - how spoilt am I!
I am currently redecorating the master bedroom and these prints are going to tie in wonderfully with our white, silver, duck egg blue interior. The next room... a NURSERY how fun!

Melbourne Art Fair 2010

On Thursday, a group of us from work went to the Melbourne Contemporary Art Fair 2010. I probably have more of an interest for illustration than the fine arts but there was some amazing work there. One Australian artist that really stood out for my work mates and myself was that of Del Kathryn Barton - she is amazing!!! The photo doesn't do this extraordinary painting the justice it deserves, as you can't really see the detail in which this artist has gone to. If only I had a few (tens of thousand) dollars to spare - I would have loved to have this picture hanging in my house :) The one below was sold but I still can't stop thinking about it! She had other work there that I unfortunately cannot find a picture of. I would recommend if you are in Melbourne, pop down to Melbourne Contemporary Art Fair but hurry as tomorrow is the last day.

Alice In Wonderland

Since Alice In Wonderland's movie release a craze has emerged. Maybe its the creativity of each character and the whimsical story that inspires artists & crafties alike. This is for you Rach, I saw them and thought of you.

The above illustrations are all works by self taught artist Danita. You can purchase them in her etsy shop. She has a wonderful blog full of her amazing illustrations too! :D

Audrey The Awesome!

Saying that I love artist Audrey Kawasaki would be a total understatement. I thought I would pay a tiny tribute to her amazing work. Here are 3 prints I am lucky enough to own. To view more of her amazing work click here.
