I have been working lately on honing my pattern making skills using flowers as my subjects. I discovered a lot of very beautiful Australian Native Flowers that lend themselves easily to repetition and graphical representation. I also thought it might be nice to step away from the usual tulips and daisies that have had their fair share of the spotlight. These patterns have proven to be very popular on my society6 & Redbubble stores quickly becoming some of my top sellers.
Don’t let these sweet serene looks fool you.
After years of intense Krav Maga training, C-Bomb (as she is known in the more unsavoury circles) can snap your neck last a piece of dry spaghetti. She has an extensive collection of Victorian knuckle dusters and claims she was robbed by Takeru Kobayashi of the 2006 Johnsonville World Bratwurst Eating Championship in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
MewMew-Friponne…a pyjama clad puss who enjoys an energetic game of backgammon, her weekly class – car maintenance for the Automysophobic and little naps with her petite pal Souris.
I am a complete Francophile! I admire the French effortless style and I especially have a love of french kids fashion. I sit for hours on Pinterest drooling over utterly chic French children’s outfits.
I decided to illustrate some of my favourite “looks” by drawing & dressing some cute little creatures. I used pen and ink outlines and then added some colour with watercolour paint and added definition with colour pencil. You will have noticed I have named each character (yes there are more to come) …this is Sabine Lapin (French for Rabbit).

I have been utterly neglectful of my blog this year and much of late last year.
I have been concentrating on my society6 & Redbubble products & profile but I mean to amend this by not only sharing what I am working on but also on the artists I come across that completely inspire me.
The above image (The Queen of Pentacles) is created one of my absolute favourite illustrators on society6. Teagan White is an American freelance illustrator specializing in intricate drawings of flora and fauna. Her playful use of watercolour to create adorable animal characters using nostalgic colors, decorative arrangements of organic forms, and meticulous detail makes my heart sing.
See her work and I dare you not to be enchanted.
I’ve been a bit obsessed with birds lately. Not sure why. I think I will turn my doodles into a nice bright pattern for my Society6 shop. I’ll keep you posted.
I’ve also created some felt birds just like some I had seen on Etsy.
I really feel like I am one of the luckiest people around.
I am blessed with the most generous, kind and thoughtful family and friends.
If I sent them a card EVERY time they were so wonderful to my family and I, whole forests would be lost….Decimation by Hallmark!
I’ve decided to create 2 card designs to try to make my “Thank You” just a little more personal and that way I can email instead of post…maybe with a small tagline…”No trees were harmed in the sending of this Thank You“. .
It’s been just over a year since we moved south of the border.
The relocation for our family has been such a positive move.
We miss our oldest and dearest friends and family , of course, but Melbourne has welcomed us with open arms and friendly smiles.
It is hard to believe a year has gone by already! This time last year we were preparing for our first house guest..my beautiful Mother-In-Law Dottie.
I hate to wish the time away but…..we are counting the days till she returns…this time with Poppy Pete in tow.
