New Card Design Ordered

Well, a bit of too-ing and fro-ing, but I decided on this design to print up. Titled "when I think of you" it will be available in a postcard format size, and a larger print.  Should be ready in about a week! Then into the shop! 

This is an extension of the previous post.  The first draft for the work had the big bird in it, minus the fox, and well, a few different aspects. I really like the first work, but this revised and finished piece just kind of spoke to me in a slightly different way.  It's hard sometimes to step back from it all, and look at it with fresh eyes - especially when you've been working on a design for days.

I love the fox, and I still love that corny "sea within" part. Now it's just double fun (fox + bird).

Goodbye Winter. Hello Spring!

The scent of jasmine fills the air. Frangipani buds begin to swell on dry twiggy stems. Mozzies and midges descend at twilight to feast upon tasty bared skin. And parents of small children sigh with resignation as they are woken earlier and earlier each day. Yes folks, it can only mean one thing. Soon the streets will be lined with a purple carpet of jacaranda petals and kookaburras will be waking us up at 4.30am. Welcome to Springtime in Brisbane, where Winter has already been well and truly elbowed aside by the sprightly season of frivolity.

Of course, nothing says Spring like flowers and butterflies - so harness your inner Wordsworth and enjoy a frolic through this gorgeous garden of Springtime goodies :)

Pretty in Pink

In honor of legendary 80s filmmaker John Hughes (who sadly passed away recently) we are this week paying tribute to what is possibly one of the best known films of the 1980s - Pretty in Pink. But before I leave you drooling over this gorgeous selection of pinky prettiness, I'll leave you with a little quote from the movie. Hands up those who remember this scene.

"We don't have none of this stuff in the boys room! Wait a minute! We don't got none of this... we don't got doors on the stalls in the boys room, we don't have, what is this? What's this? We don't have a candy machine in the boys room! "

Transportation. n. "The movement of people and goods from one location to another."

We have certainly come a long way since the days when humans' only means of transport were walking and swimming. In fact, we're now spoilt for choice. A trip into the city could be made by train, bus, car, motorbike or bicycle, to name a few of the most popular choices. It's now simply a matter of preference and convenience when deciding how to get somewhere.
