Last week I mentioned the popularity of Babushka dolls at the moment. Well this just tops it all. If you have a spare $8000 plus dollars lying around you could pick yourself up this new Chanel Matrioshka handbag made from black resin and gold. You'll have to wait until mid May though - damn, would have gone so well with the outfit I was planning on wearing down the pub this evening. Read more on handbag.com
Just finished this weekend: a Kookaburra collage.
It's been a VERY busy week here. A total redesign of a beauty magazine has taken up most of my time, but we still managed to make some more progress on the rock pool photography project. I'll let you know when the results are available for sale on creative monsoon.
This is definitely my favourite find for this week. This gorgeous photo was taken by Aussie photographer Jason Loucas and comes via the city sage blog. Two weeks to go until we move into our new home and Ive been thinking a lot about decorating. This is a must - a china hutch painted all white.
I have to say one of the nicest things about my work is I do come across some really lovely products. At the moment I'm loving Blooms thirst quencher vitamin e body cream, $24.
Well I just bought one of these, so I'll let you know how it goes, but they look great. They are the work of UK based artist Thomas Forsyth. Bascially you just pop your pen or pencil in them and give it a twirl. Instant cool squiggly artwork.
Perfect to help unwind after a stressful week - have a nice cup of tea:
I love aerial views, photos or paintings. I think its the way it gives such a totally different perspective on an otherwise ordinary scene. Brodie Murray's work 'Urban complaxity, rural simplicity, innate automatism' are a bird's eye view on landscape. 
If you're in need of some inspiration then check out Earthsong by Bernhard Edmaier. It's full of stunning aerial photography. 
More from Art Express: I was very interested in some of the materials Angus Hardwick used to construct his work - 'Traces: stains, processes, memories' . I've used perspex in the past for my own work. It's a tricky material to work with, especially if you need to drill it, it cracks so easily. 
Summer might be over but there are still warm nights in Sydney. We're off tonight for some moonlight cinema and the other evening went to Luna Park where we took this ferris wheel pic. Prints are available on the creative monsoon site - which needs some serious updating. I've been so busy with buying a house I haven't had chance to work on the site, so there is STILL a 50% off jewelry sale! Get in quick before I get my act together :)
