New things! And I'm in the paper!

Things have been very quiet on this here blog, but that's because I've been busy making things! Here are some of them...

'Apples' tea towel

'Apples' gift card

'Apples' and 'Grid Paper' cushions - I quite like them together!

It's so fun seeing an idea become an object - I don't think I'll ever over that thrill - and you really never quite know what it will look like (or if you'll like it) until you're holding it in your hand.

All are now in my Etsy shop, along with a few other new things like the T Towel in white on natural flax coloured linen.

Oh, and look what was in today's Herald Sun Home magazine - a write-up on me and my work!

Winter Orchard and Apple Love

It's certainly winter time here in the Southern Hemisphere. The other day I went to my favourite orchard to buy some apples, my favourite fruit, before they disappear and this is what I saw - fog in the afternoon. It did clear not long after but brrr, it was cold.

To celebrate my apple love I've also been drawing them. This is something I've done a lot of in the past but have never been happy with the result. This time I made myself persist (something that I can be either really good at or really bad at) and then I stepped away and did something else. When I went back to my desk a little while later, with refreshed eyes, I changed a couple of things and then really quickly had my new tea towel design. Here's a sneak-peak of a corner of it, and its paper-based inception.
