Wow! I guess when you step back and take a look at it like this I have been a busy little bee! Lots of fun and colourful new nursery art prints all part of the rainbow bright range. I'm working on adding some more Aussie birds and animals too so watch this space. All available from creative monsoon and please get in touch if you'd like something custom such as your child name adding to a print.

Today is International Day of the Girl, a day dedicated to raising awareness about issues concerning gender inequality around the world. It's also the launch of ‪#‎makeforgood‬, an initiative from etsy Australia with Plan International to change the world for girls. I've created a special edition print just for the event and will be donating 50% of sales to the Because I am a Girl campaign. "Every cloud has a silver lining" is available from my etsy shop as a 10x8" print will real hand painted glitter. 

Here's a little doodle I've been meaning to try for ages! Sketch around your hand lightly onto a page and then draw lines across the page curving over the hand. It creates a really cool 3D effect. I decided to turn mine into a little mummy and baby artwork. Getting a 13month old to sit still and have his hand sketched round was definitely the trickiest part. Plus he decided to 'contribute' to the work by throwing water at it.

creative monsoon's new planet

NASA has discovered a new planet .... no, I just discovered photographing my frying pan is cool.

Inspired by the work of Norwegian photographer Christopher Jonassen who turned worn-out frying pans into undiscovered planets from outer space.

Give it a go yourself. I photographed my frying pan with the hipstermatic iPhone  app, popped it into instagram and added a filter then into photoshop to cut out the circle and add a little inner shadow.

This month I'm loving the work of Yumi Okita. These beautiful big textile moths make me wish I could sew.
