I made this brooch for my 3D Printing class. The project involved choosing a historical brooch and reinterpreting it as a contemporary piece. I chose a peacock brooch designed by Charles Robert Ashbee, who was one of the earliest Arts and Crafts designers of jewellery. He seemed a bit obsessed with peacocks as he used… Continue reading 3D Printed Brooch
I did an intensive class in 3D Printing this summer. It was difficult to learn how to use the program, Rhino, in the limited time I had for the class, but I found it really interesting and I enjoyed the process. Honestly, I mainly did the class, so I don't have to do as many… Continue reading 3D Printed Rings
I made these flowers for a competition last year, which I didn't win, but that's alright, I had fun making the flowers anyway. I made flowers similar to these earlier in the year for uni, and I'll post about them at some point. The middles of the flowers are actually corks, which I carved to… Continue reading Papercut Flowers

The artist… Continue reading Painted Cow

I decided to make an A, because it's the start of the alphabet and lots of things start with A, including Australia. I filled the A with objects that start… Continue reading A Papercut
'The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.' -William Morris You may remember that last month I posted a quote and said that I thought it would be a cool idea to take a photo of quotes against the sky each month and make them… Continue reading William Morris Quote
I made this artwork for my brother. He's studying diprotodons, so I figured this would be a cool present to make for him. The design for this artwork came from a Laurie Beirne artwork that I found on the Australian Geographic website. I wanted the artwork to be relatively accurate, so I basically used Beirne's… Continue reading Diprotodon Artwork and Progress Video
'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless really. Do the stars gaze back? Now that's a question.'
I've finally finished painting the cupboards in the laundry at my house! Don't ask me how long it took because I have no idea, and I don't really want to know. If you haven't seen my previous post about painting these cupboards, why don't you have a look: Painting Flowers on Cupboard Doors I seem to… Continue reading Painted Cupboards
