    It has been an odd week this week. Public holidays and migraines, web design and artwork, red and indigo. Most of the weekend was spent juggling between a website deadline and making time for the kids who have been on school holidays, home with Daddy. Mummy has been at work a lot lately so I’m…

    I was going to launch it all with a big bang, balloons and streamers and all the fancy I could manage, but I can’t see myself finding the time for that in the near future and I really don’t want to wait any longer.

      Chance meetings and random comments can open so many doors. A few weeks ago, I was prepping for an exhibition and finalising a few paper mosaics when I ran out of hanging wire and framing tape. I’m picky about my hanging wire and only purchase the plastic coated variety which I buy from my…

    It is not well known on this website because I don’t tend to mention it much, but I’m also trained in graphic design and do both graphic design and web design for artists, small businesses and non-profit organisations.

    Just a quick post and dash this week, the kids are starving and I’m going to get into trouble if I don’t feed them… This week, this happened:       Still a work in progress and not great photos as my camera is in camera hospital and being held ransom for $190 to repair…

    Between web design tasks and varnishing in prep for delivery to an exhibition this week, I have managed to complete two more mosaics.     I’m having lots of fun with these at the moment with some serious plans in the works, so stay tuned. Don’t forget to check out my Exploration of how to…

    I started this week with a lot of energy, but full time and above working wore me down, so my current work in progress hasn’t progressed since the beginning of the week 🙁 And it won’t progress much over the weekend either as I’m working both days. But! I have Tuesday off and there will…

    I had a great day today. I held a paper mosaics workshop at Goodwood Library. Eleven eager artists attended and had a good time. I gave a quick rundown on tools and materials and let them have at it 😀 It was great fun to see the different interpretations and experimenting going on and I…
