Another painting is finished for the Art Expo! I wanted to combine a few things that I love – vintage teacups, flowers and a little birdy. What do you think? xobec

A creative collaboration

Ohhhh man I.AM.SO.EXCITED. Look at my new hoodie!
A few months ago, Paula from The Seamstress NZ approached me asking if I would like to do a design for one of the stunning hoodies she makes. I was way too over excited then, and now after seeing the end result (and wearing it!!) I can hardly contain myself. I’m in awe of how ultra amazing and talented she is. She uses old vintage fabrics to line the hoodies and during these cool winter days, its the perfect snuggly accessory.
Make sure you check out her online shop here and like her Facebook page so that you can keep up to date with her beautiful designs.
What do you think?! xobec

Art Journal: Praying Mantis

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Clouds of Colour

Today’s Art Journal page was a bit of a creative outburst mixed with a bit of frustration that it wasnt turning out how I envisioned. Sometimes I push myself to be creative. And sometimes I’m just not feeling it. At those times, I’ve learnt its better to do something else like bake a cake or go for a walk. These Art Journal pages have been good for breaking down barriers of perfection and its nice to have it all on record.
What do you do to stay creative? xobec

Vegetable art

This is one of the paintings I have been working on for the Art Exo. It is a massive A2 size! I have a sore arm already from drawing! I can imagine this up in a very large fun kitchen. What do you think? xobec

Art Journal: Black Ink Tree

Posted on May 25, 2013 by Clouds of Colour

I’m not sure if I can classify this as an art journal page…maybe its more of a pretty painting with a photo on it. Whatever it is, this week I went ultra simple with the design and boy do I love it. I may need to do a design for the shop! What do you think? xobec
