Creative Process
Today I'm showing you a behind the scenes look at what happens when I create something that doesn't go to plan. This is what happens most of the time, but you wouldn't know, because I only share the pretty things. Lets keep it real. Here's my creative process, warts and all.. Over a year ago...

Portrait Photography – My Top 5 Tips
Firstly I should just be clear that I’m not exactly a famous photographer, in fact I’m the complete opposite.. not famous. I haven’t taken any lessons or completed any courses, I’m all self taught. However, I’m not that bad.. or at least you can judge for yourself. If you like what you see then please… Continue Reading →
DIY Upcycled Drawers for Baby
My husband was going to get rid of this little chest of drawers. I could see they had the potential to be.. better. So I claimed them. A coat of paint and some new knobs is about all I needed, and as we have baby #2 on the way they’d be perfect to use in… Continue Reading →
DIY: Upcycled coloured glass jars
One of the many DIY projects I worked on for our wedding included making coloured glass jars. I used these as vases and put (fake) tealight candles inside them. I had everything I needed so they cost me nothing! It was a great way to recycle glass jars too. You’ll need: Glass jars and/or bottles… Continue Reading →
Blast from the past! Looking back at my early artworks
The other night I was looking through my old sketch books and it was crazy to see how far I’ve come with my art. Especially when I could remember doing the old work and how I felt about it at the time or what inspired me. I took a few photos on my trusty mobile… Continue Reading →
A Guide to Making Bath Tea
A few years back I handmade all my Christmas gifts and for my sister I made some bath tea. It’s a sweet little idea that I’d been meaning to write about in detail and I’ve finally remembered to actually do it. These little bags of goodness are made to soak in the bath with… Continue Reading →

DIY: Medieval Chandelier
When we decided to have a Viking inspired wedding (which you can read all about here) I had this brilliant idea to make a couple of medieval chandeliers. I’d seen some online retailing for around $400 +postage. Screw that, that’s half our wedding budget! Ha! I could so make them myself anyway. How sweet would… Continue Reading →
Magical Fairy Gift Box
I absolutely love custom jobs that spark new ideas. This job was one of those. The ideas were endless and they just kept coming, and evolving.. I freakin love that! I had to stop myself from going overboard, and instead the inspiration began to pour out onto other projects I’m working on.. like the interactive dead faery… Continue Reading →
Reflecting on 2015
Well, that went fast. 2015 was jam packed full of artsy goodness, but I didn’t realise just how much until I looked back on everything I’d achieved. I guess the biggest thing to happen this year, art-related, was winning 2nd place in Canon’s Light Awards Competition! That was early on in January, for the month’s… Continue Reading →

There’s 2 main types of studios I have noticed. The neat spaces that are minimal… Continue Reading →

Give Away!! (Ended)
You may have read previous posts about my ‘craft fail’ incident, involving my over enthusiastic confidence to cook like a MasterChef and a recipe for macaroons. Long story short I created ‘craparoons’ which were a complete disaster. Or so I thought. I knew of a hilarious blog called Craft Fail where you can submit your failure and have a… Continue Reading →
365 Project Completed
On the 2nd of July 2013, a friend of mine posted a comment on facebook that said she was going to write a poem everyday for a whole month. It got me thinking.
