31/05: mel's wedding present
just a little while ago, my lovely friend mel got married! and what a beautiful wedding it was too!
so when the invitation said something along the lines of guests don't need to bring presents, i was a bit bummed - i like giving and wrapping presents!! so hey, i decided that i would take one anyway, plus it would feel weird to turn up without a present. knowing that the bride and groom probably already had enough "home" stuff of their own, i decided to make them something decorative they could hang up on the wall and remember their wedding by. knowing also that mel is a bit like me about poms and paper and stuff like that, i decided to make her some paper flowers. and in order to stick it up on the wall, i attached them to heavy bookboard in order to make a wreath.

26/05: UO bedding
oh how i love this quiltcover from urban outfitters.
it's only USD 148 plus free postage, which isn't too bad really, though terrible timing on my part - the aussie dollar just hit a 10 month low!
i'd like to pair it with linens from castle and things... like these ones:

18/05: moo cards
at the end of april, moo and etsy were running a promotion where you could get 50 free business cards.
although i already have 2 permutations of my business card, i thought it might be nice to put my illustrations on the cards - a bit different you know? i just got them back yesterday and they look great - i am really impressed by the printing! take a look:
i had a bit of a snag when uploading images though - you can add 50 individual images so each card has a different image. so i thought great i'll put a few up, not thinking that my 300dpi illustration files might stuff up the system! in the end, i ended up getting a different set to the images i thought actually went through!

10/05: oh juliet
i have a new illustration to show you, and one that i have changed the words on...
so first the new one, called "oh juliet"
the other is the one from my banner, which was originally done for the finders keepers competition, but which i have now re-worded to suit my own purposes!
called sorrow, the words are by the national from a song of the same name. love it.
