I've managed to coax the printer back to life so prints are now available of my security envelope portrait via etsy

Finally we're making some progress with the kitchen reno. After a bit of hunting we found a builder who actually looked in the roof space to confirm one of the walls we wanted to remove wasn't structural. Everythings been ripped out and we're busy painting and puttying while the kitchen is being built.

Since I started working with envelope lining I've become a little obsessed with all things blue and white, like willow pattern china. I'm loving the work of Caroline Slotte who reassembles ceramic plates into artworks. Wow.

The Once Upon a Time exhibition has ended. Thanks to everyone who came along, made a purchase or donation to Make a Wish and a big thanks the gals from the Creative Activists for putting it all together. Here are a few pics from the opening taken by my very talented hubby.

You can still check out my work for the exhibit in creative monsoon's online gallery and a few smaller versions of the prints are still available.

Something I've been really keen to do for a while is portraits using the security envelope lining. I just finished this test piece today. What do you think?
If you would like to be immortalised in envelopes contact me about a commission!

Called into Manly this weekend and was really taken by the work of Debra Hood, a local artist who paints Brisbane cityscapes. You can find her work at the Manly Gallery, 11 Cambridge Parade, Manly, QLD.

The creative monsoon website is now back up and running, so if you can't make the exhibition in Brisbane be sure to check it out at www.creative-monsoon.com
