photographing photographs

Landscape - Back yard washing hanging
Portrait - Mic, best side profile
Portrait - test strips and options, love the bottom right composition



Still life - Oliver, how he managed to be so poised, really happy with the focus and composition

My Photography assignment finals and some extras, such a tedious process but amazing to see all the time and effort, chemicals and blurred vision and bruises from the dark rooms paid off!

It still makes me incredibly sad that such a talented and sunny person left his life so early. Happy birthday to my favourite actor Scott Irwin, Patrick Verona, Jimmy, Gabriel Martin, William Thatcher, Ned Kelly, Jacob Grimm, Ennis Del Mar, Casanova, Dan, Robbie, Dr Tony Parnassus, the Joker - Heath Ledger. Rest in peace you wonderful man.

neverland

I am loving my room in the pan'ing process on the way to neverland. If I can't have vines and filtered sunlight through leaves I want bunting, pegs photos and all of my little treasures. 

Birdy bunting strung up on twine and held on with mini pegs

Love the mixture of pattens and look of textural card
Random hooks and bunting ends used to hang my jewellery and photo frames 

Twine strung from parallel hooks join to make my vine! Crafty goods and memories hang 



Dream catcher a present from south america, funny baby photos, holiday snaps and keep sake gift wrapping 
Fairly lights entwined around my antique mirror. Message in a bottle too!

laneway music festival

What can I say other then I never believed I would have the pleasure of seeing so many of my favourite artists all in the one place. On the second of Feb (despite the rain and the cold of sydney's bipolar weather) with some ponchos, ciders and a sailor jerry or two the three musical musketeers had the most amazing day listening to tunes and sharing the laughs. The Rubens, Bat for Lashes, Flume, Alpine, Of Monsters and Men, Alt J, Chet Faker, Real Estate, Yeasayer, Ms Mr and Cloud Nothings... seriously how is it possible to have so much goodness in one place? Whatever the explanation am I so thrilled I was part of such an amazing event.

The Rubens!

Oh Harley I love you

the neverland project

Being interested in design, passionate and often overwhelmed by it means that inspiration in essential. I love being inspired as well as sourcing inspiration for projects and my own designer-ly ventures. Having a creative space amongst all of the constraints that I face like brief deadlines, economic barriers and good ol' creative block is actually really difficult, which is why I have decided to give myself a project that involves none of these but all of the rewards. I want to create a neverland space that has twinkling stars, bell jars, books, terrariums, found items and lost things. This will be my inspiration and my work.

First comes my one true love for imagination and inspiration - Pan.
