25.01.2022 B E E S . . Sharing a little bit of my process this morning as I sketched some sweet bees from various angles for a new pattern .... . Swipe to see the initial sketches in pencil prior to inking . . I am often asked if I sketch in pencil first and the answer is almost always, yes! I am thinking of videoing some of this process to share . . . Is this something you would like to see? . . Now I’m off to scan and vectorise. I might have a little something to show you this arv . . #bee #honeybees #wip #sketch #penandink #bts #artist #australianartist #goldcoastartist #illustrator #surfacedesigner #spd #patterndesign #textiledesign #lovewhatyoulove #shabbyshac See more

25.01.2022 G R E Y . . It certainly isn’t grey in beautiful Brisbane today however I thought I would share the final colourway in the new Collection - Don’t Eat the Daisies .... . Each design shares a commonality with the other patterns in this collection in a delightfully cohesive way. With 4 Colourways and 7 Patterns in all you could be excused if you were thinking they would not sit well together mix on a quilting project, or any other in fact With each design linking effortlessly via pattern and / or colour palette, they create a lovely depth and wide selection of options . . Looking forward to seeing these beauties on wallpaper and textiles . . #pleasedonteatthedaisies #grey #colourway #colourpalette #pattern #neutrals #blackwhitegreyallday . . #artist #australianartist #illustrator #storyteller #surfacedesigner #patterndesign #interiordesigner #textiles #wallpaper #comingsoon #livewhatyoulove #shabbyshac See more

Hoping your Tuesday started well. I do appear to be running late however, I started my day off early with a gym session and a million chores there-after . . #wip #peony #sketches #artist #australianartist #goldcoastartist #illustrator #surfacedesigner #patterndesign #spd #storyteller #botanicalseries #weareaustralian #livewhatyoulove #shabbyshac See more

20.01.2022 J U S T P E A C H Y . . This sweet mixed media piece has my heart. I painted the wash of colours on the weekend with a plan to fill each with a botanical sketch .... . Having had a day to dwell however (and having spent some time overthinking this during a run and swim yesterday afternoon) , I am seriously considering creating a monthly planner of pretty illustrations to inspire me and keep me on track with my crazy schedule . . I know what you are thinking . . . Just how does she plan to accomplish this when she has already added teaching 3 days per week to ever growing schedule Well I am thinking that I draw most every day in any case and hey! Who needs sleep anyway . . I am also thinking I will then blog my creative journey each month and add a FREE Printable for my friends to download just in case your schedule is as manic as mine . . . or if you just like a pretty planner . . . or both! . . What do you think? Are you peachy keen (see what I did there)? . . Have a fab day friends and tell me what you think . . #peachy #peachykeen #justpeachy #stonefruitseason #christmasinaustralia #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear #watercolour #ink #mixedmedia #planner #bespoke #stationerylove #cornerofmyworld #postitfortheaesthetic #livewhatyoulove #australianartist #spd #supportsmallbusiness #australianmadeandowned #shabbyshac See more

12.01.2022 T E X T I L E S . . The final textiles have arrived from the Don’t Eat the Daisies Collection and OH! they have my .... . A little note to self to never question that little voice. I always pictured my Plaids large and then second guessed myself when it came to my initial sampling. This time around I threw caution to the wind and WOW! i love them so much! I also added a bit of size to my stripes on this stunning linen blend and am delighted with the result . . I will be adding all designs to the Store THIS weekend . . I have another little surprise to share with you all tomorrow Hint: I had plenty of extra space on this lovely metre of fabric so I added a couple of illustrations too . .
