• Creating a canvas – why not use patterns?

  Decorating the walls in your home is a very personal thing – it’s like choosing an additional housemate, because you have to live with your decision every day. I found myself being so particular about size, colour and mood of my wall decor that I end up making them myself. The decision to do so…

• Shell Art – It’s back (who would’ve thought?)

  You may not want to admit it, but I bet every one of you has a secret stash of shells at home crying out for a purpose. Collecting shells is a funny pastime, because you rarely do anything with them (unless you were one of the many who made shell mirrors in the 1980’s -…

• Landscape photography – Use as Wallpaper (the computer kind!) or for canvas inspiration…

  All around us are beautiful things – sometimes it takes a camera lense to isolate them – allowing you to truly admire the colours, form and sheer beauty of the natural world around us. Often because we see the same things everyday we take them for granted. I started experimenting with landscape photography from a…

• Dump your doorstops – it’s time to upgrade…

  Recently I have become obsessed with doorstops. Maybe because I have had to rely on them a bit lately. With the weather verging on 40° this past week, then the ‘cool change’ sweeping over us so quickly (dropping the temperature by 10° in the same number of minutes), Melbournians are very used to opening up…

  My blog header is one of my recent creations. I have been experimenting with wallpaper, combining different patterns together on old canvases – otherwise known as Collaging. For those of you who had collaging on your list of new years resolutions – this should give you a kick-start!

• Who needs crystal animals when you can collect red, antique cooking utensils?

  

  There are a lot of Kitchen utensils (more than 4000…) and they have some very strange names, and purposes (and my husband is very concerned about this). He is concerned because about 2 years ago I started collecting red antique kitchen utensils to hang on our kitchen wall. It started off very casually at first,…
