Steam Punk Elephant
Been playing with a steampunk elephant for the past few months. Got a papier mache elephant from Spotlight, covered it with metal tape. Just need to get my camera fixed so I can take some decent pictures of it (have uploaded shots from my mobile- see portfolio for more). It was fun to experiment, but it is hard to know where to stop.
One thing that worked well was rubber stamping onto white tiss…
Torn between the muses
The muses call to me, pulling my attention between them. As a part time artist / full-time worker it pains me that I have so many ideas at times, so many creative choices that I am paralysed to begin work on any. At times I envision whole industries in my head, sometimes I even go as far as to begin buying the tools and materials to make a start.
My husband calls me a potterer, I flit from proje…

Lady Sorrow has been selected to join the other fantastic t-shirt designs for Womanly on a giant clothes line as part of the Manly Arts Festival in New South Wales on Sunday 27 September.
I wanted to try printing my own shirt for this, and with limited time to prepare an entry, I decided to jump in with two feet and try a hand rolled stencil.
I attempted to cut a paper stencil, but had a bit of t…

Catastrophic Hard drive failure - backup your precious memories
My external harddrive has decided to stop working, the power light is on but there’s nobody home – no matter which computer I attach it to.
Alas it is the only copy I have of many of my photographs and digital art from the last 3 years and also many financial records which we maintain in a spreadsheet.I am hoping by some miracle to be able to get it going once to copy over the content…

Plus I managed to eat some mashed potatoes and pumpkin last night – its not all bad!
But I think I am feeling almost human enoug…

Lenko Doodle Art Show 2008 - with work by me !!
I submitted some doodle’s to the Lenko Doodle Art Show in Melbourne for a bit of fun and was really suprised to be selected to exhibit.
I sent in " Another Day another Doodle" and a “Doodle Art Swap Card” I created (not sure if they are using both or not).
I didn’t scan them before sending them off so if you want to see them you will just have to go into Melbour…
