skulls + flowers

Inspired by a gorgeous photo I found on the internets I spent a late night drawing this little guy. I've been so busy lately & have been really craving to just sit with my sketch book & draw for hours.Last night I finally got some time to do that & it felt fucking amazing! I'm happy with this drawing & will probably make some limited edition prints of it soon.

Cool bananas.

bored cheese

This is a cheeseboard update! Since starting my adventure into woodworking I've managed to craft just over 20 beautiful little boards from both reclaimed river oak + silky oak.

The process has been exciting as I've always wanted to work with different timbers & other junk.I'm learning as I go & to my bliss,everybody has been really supportive of my newest creations.THANKYOU!!!

I'm looking into more possibilities for different woodworking ideas & at this point they're endless,but I need more practice,skills & equipment! But keep yer eyes peeled for further updates involving new reclaimed timber creative goodness.

Lots of fresh new creative goodness will be available at our little shanty stall this Sunday at The Village Markets,Burleigh Heads.

Steve.

On Sunday I bought myself a present,a little green palm sander.
It's a bit magical,I'm in love & my sanders name is Steve.
Started making some more cheese boards today using the palm sander & it's made it a thousand times easier!
No more dying hands & fingers for me.

don't ask me WHY I chose to hand make my swing tags [200 for today],I'm a bit mental like that.

River Oak

The curse of being creative is that even if you're physically ill with the flu,your mind is still alive with ideas.

I crawled out of bed this morning to try & make my mums day a little lovely for mother dearest,but after half a day out in the elements & snotting through a box of tissues I had to go home & rest. I hate being sick. I hate being sick,feeling like crap & simultaneously being excited about a new project I want to start.

Armed with a new box of tissues,filled to the eyeballs with cold+flu tablets,rugged up like a paranoid Eskimo, I made my way to my studio to get stuck into making these little cheeseboards I've been wanting to make for a while now.

I got my hands on a beautiful piece of River Oak & thought it would be perfect to create these little cheesy delights.Um,my poor jigsaw blade just snapped,but this is the result so far! It's all trial & error,but I'm happy.

Drop by later when I've finished making these little fellas. Hopefully I'll still have fingers intact & am not in hospital with pneumonia.

My mother called me silver;part precious metal,part pirate.

To all the gorgeous Mama's out there I hope you all have a beautiful day!

To my own Mumzee,thanks for being you Mama.You send me crazy,but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Muchos love + light to all Mamas!
