Josh Pyke at the Tivoli

I was so lucky again to see my very favourite artist, Josh Pyke, play an enchanting blend some of his earlier work and some gratifying crowd favourites, at the Tivoli, Brisbane on Friday night. It was a magical night as we all tried to absorb as much of his captivating vocals and hypnotic melodies before he takes a couple of years break to work on some side projects and to begin work on his next eagerly-anticipated album. Judging by the response from the crowd, we will all miss him whilst he’s away but will be looking forward to what he comes up with next.

There is far too much hate going on in the world, of which I really feel uncomfortable with. I dislike the ‘H’ word for all the trouble and calamity it brings. So here’s my medicine for those nasty haters…

Book Cover

One of my latest projects has been an absolute gas! I’ve been helping out writer, Vinnie Kaufeldt, up and running with their latest young-adult fiction, ‘Kiss the Flame’. With magnificent imagery of flames and ominous birds, the cover captures the excitement and passion of the story beautifully. Kaufeldt is currently pushing the book into digital format so keep an eye out for it in online bookstores soon!

Showcase Special April

Engagement invitations designed by Siobhan. The illustrative initials on the cover were sketched and vectorised to give a personal touch and add to the baroque feel, which was Stephanies favourite. The beautiful panoramic photograph on the jetty was taken by my very talented photographer (and equally loveable sister) Katherine O’Malley. This is at mock-up stage only so will post finished piece when the project is complete.

Latest creation

I always look forward to the final hours of the day, when Erin is in bed asleep, and I can get a spare hour to chill out and relax…with a knitting project! Actually this is a crocher knit so a bit easier than knitting.

Usually my crochet projects are simple baby blankets for one of my friends or family members, but this project was all for me. It still needs edging but it’s still big enough to keep me warm in this cold weather approaching. Snuggly warm!

Sweet angel little tears

I just couldn’t help myself, when I caught Erin crying…I thought, that’s a moment we’ll want capture for when she turns 21. The quick snap taken showed much more than a little girl crying, so I turned to my trusty watercolours once again…

As things have been gradually picking up here in sheep central, I thought I might post some of my current projects I have been collaborating on so far this year.
