I made this card over a year ago. It depicts native Australian flora and a native Eastern Yellow Robin. I actually made two cards similar to this a couple of years ago, depicting a fairywren and a red-capped robin. Have a look at my Instagram to see a progress video of adding the colours.
It's been so long since I last posted nail art on my blog. I did paint my nails for Christmas, but I don't think I posted photos here, so I believe the last time I posted nail art was the Spider-Man Far From Home nails last July. Wow. I'm so sorry if you're following my… Continue reading Autumn and Spring Easter Nail Art
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
I haven't posted anything on here for a while, but don't worry, I'm still alive and making art. I've been posting occasionally on Instagram and Facebook, so maybe follow me there if you want slightly more frequent updates. I know 2020 started a couple of weeks ago, but I want to post about the new… Continue reading Goodbye 2019… Hello 2020
I entered a competition to design a cow for my local area last year. They ended up choosing two designs, mine and someone else's. This is my design: The competition was about half a year ago, and they've finally unveiled the finished cow! It's incredible to see my idea painted on the cow. The artist… Continue reading Painted Cow
The Paper Artist Collective is holding an alphabet challenge on Instagram, where you have to make a letter out of three different colours of paper. 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
