I NEVER buy carnations. Something about them has always cried cheap and tacky to me. But I was really taken by these red and white ones and I just love how they contrast with the bright lime green molucca balm. Molucca balm (also known as irish bells) is a big favourite of mine - it makes anything look good. They remind me of some sort of alien bell tower. And they can last for over 2 weeks. Then for bulk and just cause they're pretty I added a bunch of pink dahlias.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKmchebAxoLujILG39CR4gpc6oAAmuj8Q3ea9TRL_DUJSEAGDIEP2p2WrLUvDHpL0ZOUSODa2gVvhlqSEbyH1AFEX4s1UKplmDmZBaZ-Ys7rp0n4LRYECe9gmPSQRoBO7I7tzu2lVEu5z/s1600/flower2+-+7%253A03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKmchebAxoLujILG39CR4gpc6oAAmuj8Q3ea9TRL_DUJSEAGDIEP2p2WrLUvDHpL0ZOUSODa2gVvhlqSEbyH1AFEX4s1UKplmDmZBaZ-Ys7rp0n4LRYECe9gmPSQRoBO7I7tzu2lVEu5z/s400/flower2+-+7%253A03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581237128968951186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIgRDmm8O86aouYWnSr6vJOdChJyTsv6jHZzi3pmsF5yWO9XRhX1N2A0ou0ETJ4CYXna0rNSZ1oh3xHHtWQPH4to5wNp6wa5NzBEG9KqGlWFFpKCVKL0OReIQBsEk9UlZlUugGNZdlkS_/s1600/flower4+-+7%253A03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIgRDmm8O86aouYWnSr6vJOdChJyTsv6jHZzi3pmsF5yWO9XRhX1N2A0ou0ETJ4CYXna0rNSZ1oh3xHHtWQPH4to5wNp6wa5NzBEG9KqGlWFFpKCVKL0OReIQBsEk9UlZlUugGNZdlkS_/s400/flower4+-+7%253A03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581237124230432290" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyaiCpmqpOpJ5zYF5rFRsv1zrAU-mRila3__MbW0BXD563FdfHb07ZNi-HDRnR-8k1L4xZgeyc2QTc4_HbLwg2iS9ALA7R2t_Cy82RNX7UWZ6rnG3ID7gbxMDlYwEbU30HYBaQEaM6Xy6V/s1600/flower1+-+7%253A03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyaiCpmqpOpJ5zYF5rFRsv1zrAU-mRila3__MbW0BXD563FdfHb07ZNi-HDRnR-8k1L4xZgeyc2QTc4_HbLwg2iS9ALA7R2t_Cy82RNX7UWZ6rnG3ID7gbxMDlYwEbU30HYBaQEaM6Xy6V/s400/flower1+-+7%253A03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581237122269930642" border="0" /></a><br />:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-7587710295492076772011-02-22T20:58:00.000-08:002011-02-27T16:47:40.658-08:00Flower MondayI've always had a love of flowers and now that I'm in my lovely new house (with an amazing florist round the corner!) I've found myself buying flowers every Saturday. I love buying a few bunches and arranging them when I get home. It warms the heart cockles. Plus I can't help but photograph them because I smile every time I walk past them. So I thought I would try and post these photos every Monday for a bit of start-of-the-week cheer. So here's the first Flower Monday.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4MuNmwf72POd-w1L5IaQUSegawDbYORUvquLWkTFxcrIU_mWiupCAA1tct6PqfdN1xFFFXHdXj7NHgQvIUdCkuvKnA2aDoAWcunklxzsshifRZpKud8ULEaktiJeLB-XCzDbOi6p7dghe/s1600/flower2+23%253A02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4MuNmwf72POd-w1L5IaQUSegawDbYORUvquLWkTFxcrIU_mWiupCAA1tct6PqfdN1xFFFXHdXj7NHgQvIUdCkuvKnA2aDoAWcunklxzsshifRZpKud8ULEaktiJeLB-XCzDbOi6p7dghe/s400/flower2+23%253A02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576745593029735650" border="0" /></a>This week I chose pink oriental lillies, tuber rose (which smells amazing, a bit like gardenias) and some unknown bright green foliage I've never seen before. I asked the lovely Asian lady who owns the florist shop and her reply was 'leaf' and that's as much as she would tell me :)<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeXTR2PYBpmtG9vhJx74YU2BBQmkXGi74sJpD2RlD_4Yo50R7MREe3kOVqzXQefTVI1c_3exoCXYQWCwXI9hjBwDsj3NyXuELBOgr2okWFiWc-UhyphenhyphenV25RWXUm8ozpcapvlzw9NTh0cD9Sq/s1600/flower5+-+23%253A02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeXTR2PYBpmtG9vhJx74YU2BBQmkXGi74sJpD2RlD_4Yo50R7MREe3kOVqzXQefTVI1c_3exoCXYQWCwXI9hjBwDsj3NyXuELBOgr2okWFiWc-UhyphenhyphenV25RWXUm8ozpcapvlzw9NTh0cD9Sq/s400/flower5+-+23%253A02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578535158131898194" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFB-uuDAVzYMgTqZR8tOAW_diV0RtGzwCJ-XxSLgj8znhnpA6K_9RewCHlPAliemwOhleCPb5d2anRCttRZgkFrnEaG7gcZ_Y-CFosHaPrDkub49EO_UYwdEGE2HDrSj1dtO70vxb-_dO/s1600/flower1+23%253A02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFB-uuDAVzYMgTqZR8tOAW_diV0RtGzwCJ-XxSLgj8znhnpA6K_9RewCHlPAliemwOhleCPb5d2anRCttRZgkFrnEaG7gcZ_Y-CFosHaPrDkub49EO_UYwdEGE2HDrSj1dtO70vxb-_dO/s400/flower1+23%253A02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578535153604831170" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQR2riA7JfIE_x2TUGg5H1Xu6PMydbC4kAH9KzZwv0GF-YDB0xhU2DN2as5CNJkkXj-FtwZMYm5vyKrrSJF5-7LnYEF02A2D8mxOep0jqSe3lun1rXBqsEiH44g-03YQCkiD_sOyJDf0Dw/s1600/flower1+23%253A02.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtrDaeLKeokaEH63-B42mRils-I6nWH-15AOrnmZ3YjTHv9RHQihVel7N2bJ7yeK2fcyV21lxY8jnVgL421iXtjsH4zUnIbusyxJxjOOFyjyhmwJZCNcbXFRHTcE41DymTa0nmcAaVUT0/s1600/flower4+23%253A02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtrDaeLKeokaEH63-B42mRils-I6nWH-15AOrnmZ3YjTHv9RHQihVel7N2bJ7yeK2fcyV21lxY8jnVgL421iXtjsH4zUnIbusyxJxjOOFyjyhmwJZCNcbXFRHTcE41DymTa0nmcAaVUT0/s400/flower4+23%253A02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576745581352927058" border="0" /></a><br />:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-24337491725132637842011-02-22T17:12:00.000-08:002011-02-22T17:20:26.909-08:00Phillipa Finch Heartwork<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Av3-_q12iG2GzciRHsAxrFg-C3_ncwj9oYVZgQq7qQLfD-RJIAOVnx3OrqkvzIVAKt9772jxwTc8jJrsqr9H5jMtFoUgGXG1ugHGGHsJIQRXTTT2t0qaGiezaroJhWrHWQclCk5K47Kf/s1600/heartwork.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Av3-_q12iG2GzciRHsAxrFg-C3_ncwj9oYVZgQq7qQLfD-RJIAOVnx3OrqkvzIVAKt9772jxwTc8jJrsqr9H5jMtFoUgGXG1ugHGGHsJIQRXTTT2t0qaGiezaroJhWrHWQclCk5K47Kf/s400/heartwork.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576688058661230210" border="0" /></a><br />Ok so I'm so in love with 'The Demise of Phillipa Finch' that I'm going to blog about it some more. As mentioned below you can go to this <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/tv/phillipafinch/#/Home">interactive website</a> and <a href="http://www.abctv.net.au/tv/phillipafinch/heartworks.php?id=2832">make your own heartwork</a>. Here's mine! It's lot of fun and I'm blown away by the whole idea and concept. It fits in perfectly with what I'm working on at the moment (illustration and design outlets) so excuse me while I go "ARggghhhh this is sooo freakin cool!!!' Ahem. yes.<br /><br />:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-43335081848650176152011-02-22T16:16:00.000-08:002011-02-22T16:55:05.140-08:00The Gradual Demise of Phillipa Finch<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Y5kn6HUIwW8?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="295" width="480"></iframe><br />This is sooo gorgeous I can't even begin to describe it. This is episode 6 of a new series of short 1-2min episodes that are airing on ABC. They're made by Emma Magenta and narrated by Toni Collette. There's also an interactive <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/tv/phillipafinch/">website</a> where you can watch the episodes and make your own 'heartwork'.<br />I find it so heartening that the ABC are supporting something like this. Its whimsical, different and just amazingly beautiful. I'm inspired! I hope you find it so too.<br /><br />:)KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-71628802714929096292011-02-10T16:29:00.000-08:002011-02-10T16:40:29.213-08:00You Gotta Check Out These Exhibitions<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0pUM_kZ9Dn404Hq6XUph95SBPTLgFJwCobXOJQa0YQRPpGLKUc3Wz3r_WLxwZCxDzmnzXE1Dbi-feKs7q7XF-RzrL5qDtADDhKwEU-bwWQuLk7RAHtQS7eR4v2tWC-9B0rV6m70_Knl2u/s1600/look_exhibition.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0pUM_kZ9Dn404Hq6XUph95SBPTLgFJwCobXOJQa0YQRPpGLKUc3Wz3r_WLxwZCxDzmnzXE1Dbi-feKs7q7XF-RzrL5qDtADDhKwEU-bwWQuLk7RAHtQS7eR4v2tWC-9B0rV6m70_Knl2u/s400/look_exhibition.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572222711031604226" border="0" /></a>I saw both of these exhibitions last week and I was blown away by them. The<a href="http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/event/look-art-australian-picture-books-today"> Art of Australian Picture Books</a> featured some amazing original illustration from recent children's books as well as books I remember as a kid.

It can be easy to forget how amazing the artists are who draw the films when you're busy watching the story. They also have cool films about how they shoot the hand drawn frames etc. But make sure you allow at least an hour and half to see everything properly. Well worth the entry fee!<br /></div><br />:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-47924229166091768922011-02-01T01:22:00.000-08:002011-02-01T01:36:56.213-08:00Lookie What I Made<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQFS2aJ4m-op0pl6HpAJ0x9AH6o9WgvC6I3h4jPCk_s0XyRVgKsOok4qj95TrtuexyCt-eJRVPpsbUFqq-SQtU-V5WKVmlRGkbAHE1TV3Snbtp7zQ64QL5PfQrmhEJRzYV8VuSmrUvzGg/s1600/polka+dot+dress.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQFS2aJ4m-op0pl6HpAJ0x9AH6o9WgvC6I3h4jPCk_s0XyRVgKsOok4qj95TrtuexyCt-eJRVPpsbUFqq-SQtU-V5WKVmlRGkbAHE1TV3Snbtp7zQ64QL5PfQrmhEJRzYV8VuSmrUvzGg/s400/polka+dot+dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568649612851561506" border="0" /></a>This little dress was my weekend project and I'm surprised it actually turned out ok!

Very cool dress (ok I admit I've been watching A LOT of Mad Men and just had to have a Betty Draper dress. Tehehe.) but the pattern was really hard to understand! Besides being in yards and inches, it also didn't explain the steps very well and the pattern pieces have no markings.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I took it to Spotlight to see if someone working there could help me because I couldn't figure out the skirt part of the dress. But they were no help either - there were 3 of us scratching our heads. I just went home and got stuck in to see how far I got.<br />In the end the bodice was so much harder than the skirt. The 2 darts they had in the pattern just made the fabric bunch up and bulge around my bust which looked terrible. So I improvised and made one long curved seam that ran from the waist to the armpit (like I'd seen in other dresses). Needless to say I was very impressed when it actually worked and pulled the fabric into a nice snug fit. Yay! Then after that the skirt was pretty easy. It took me 7 hours but I reckon the next time I do it it'll be a lot less. Although I have 3 other vintage patterns to try first...<br /></div><br />:)KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-2574984332551151702011-01-24T04:50:00.001-08:002011-01-24T04:55:15.104-08:00Art Play<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1k24BsQFkWvtQ01J4lRklgaL4FccReX83UYrxUPsM4qqwfalBuBcDkbZmpmKeZ3x4lILP3OyanOo_QM-Y0FWryGC6y97ieXIWeGbWTNiDoQ4p9kxJza_fscldvN0mO8fL-muCmACmjmb0/s1600/mirror+mirror+-+small.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1k24BsQFkWvtQ01J4lRklgaL4FccReX83UYrxUPsM4qqwfalBuBcDkbZmpmKeZ3x4lILP3OyanOo_QM-Y0FWryGC6y97ieXIWeGbWTNiDoQ4p9kxJza_fscldvN0mO8fL-muCmACmjmb0/s400/mirror+mirror+-+small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565734081728375074" border="0" /></a>I'm playing around with different mediums at the moment and I'm in love with chalk pastels and inks.

Not something you usually hear someone say but its true because last week (or maybe the last two weeks) was just super crazy busy. You know when all of a sudden you have all these things to do? But now its Monday and they're all done. Yay! Time to organise my Australia Day BBQ.<br /><br />One of the 'things' <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I</span> did last week were these 4 illustrations. I turned them into greeting cards that I had printed for the North Melbourne Market. They looked so cute (and professional hehe) and they got a really good response so I'm going to do a few more over the next few weeks.<br /><br />Basically the idea behind them was to juxtapose black and white realistic drawings with colourful fantasy elements. So I drew the sketches and then added the colour elements on Illustrator. It was fun and a great way to learn how to use one of those super-annoying-takes-lots-of-hours-to-figure-them-out kinda programs like Illustrator and Photoshop. I can definitely say I like Illustrator a lot more than Photoshop. Hope you like them!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjampSWKTthLHHqYsKgeR95UJr1n61zpT5uG16xGdPuMVvbCnZFJu2n-HUwx_Q2-kJCV4teH1B6-tAQDlaB9MMdZu0i7hhLLAe5v6yhzfd0lk1T3FoQmc3xH1CSo-OZh_C-HN7d1hXRQgMh/s1600/Hills+Hoistfinal.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjampSWKTthLHHqYsKgeR95UJr1n61zpT5uG16xGdPuMVvbCnZFJu2n-HUwx_Q2-kJCV4teH1B6-tAQDlaB9MMdZu0i7hhLLAe5v6yhzfd0lk1T3FoQmc3xH1CSo-OZh_C-HN7d1hXRQgMh/s320/Hills+Hoistfinal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565621854029239026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6tKZgFLE8Dqp1FF9mfnc-ZvbCF3s-8jOPnAjmNOjVdxLAsAV6omiUcSU-BK4P9zKKH6NzO-7YjBxM_ZMMWMlQhGIWvuQPeXIAVyZZUYd7_Tx6uwkHHrhiMVvL_pBvKrAbmCIQj2TZlj1/s1600/balloon+houses2final.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6tKZgFLE8Dqp1FF9mfnc-ZvbCF3s-8jOPnAjmNOjVdxLAsAV6omiUcSU-BK4P9zKKH6NzO-7YjBxM_ZMMWMlQhGIWvuQPeXIAVyZZUYd7_Tx6uwkHHrhiMVvL_pBvKrAbmCIQj2TZlj1/s320/balloon+houses2final.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565621854461597986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgitmcMHdbmCVNR_Tbb9yw7hC7MdTlhks29r3BOWHjfnGhvwp7wwAAztI5MJz9QUzwE14HgpXW6FM6z1O2FMVwOTYbBRESszZyNUvbcN36B8XJSb0sQ6XqEo8_elJWfexcSNXhKXg-hD-Ij/s1600/Park+Benchfinal.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgitmcMHdbmCVNR_Tbb9yw7hC7MdTlhks29r3BOWHjfnGhvwp7wwAAztI5MJz9QUzwE14HgpXW6FM6z1O2FMVwOTYbBRESszZyNUvbcN36B8XJSb0sQ6XqEo8_elJWfexcSNXhKXg-hD-Ij/s320/Park+Benchfinal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565621849847041058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEw6AumgAi2kOdm6uhNVEhKaw7YrSiNZIs0Rw6hPliFDx4W6lwQ4VJK7wZX_cvF-707kgvEdk9bW3t3_UuB0Vn77LEjQ1CAOg6rQmKl_vm2NvT8x28yxIA_-vBieyepHWHamVLZwjTRnA3/s1600/bunny+rabbitfinal.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEw6AumgAi2kOdm6uhNVEhKaw7YrSiNZIs0Rw6hPliFDx4W6lwQ4VJK7wZX_cvF-707kgvEdk9bW3t3_UuB0Vn77LEjQ1CAOg6rQmKl_vm2NvT8x28yxIA_-vBieyepHWHamVLZwjTRnA3/s320/bunny+rabbitfinal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565621842986167506" border="0" /></a>:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-49065590524630640492011-01-04T03:22:00.001-08:002011-01-04T03:33:35.576-08:00New Year, New Toys!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLwNPxkBfEgXOxRAjKagiKqVV0JG89VuhN1F950vY5UkB50JKrMwgZBzcTSAPR7tU01-oyqWgAv6u58Oyavp-IoqeSyLScMy2yPrJd7Ud8YW2agOnarIWqRwpkK3H1UoUemn0VJ6Dx6ru/s1600/como+jetty6.1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLwNPxkBfEgXOxRAjKagiKqVV0JG89VuhN1F950vY5UkB50JKrMwgZBzcTSAPR7tU01-oyqWgAv6u58Oyavp-IoqeSyLScMy2yPrJd7Ud8YW2agOnarIWqRwpkK3H1UoUemn0VJ6Dx6ru/s400/como+jetty6.1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558290207043252818" border="0" /></a>Wow how fast did December fly by!

And just in time for some Christmas cheer are these new hand drawn Xmas cards. There's four different designs, they're drawn on 100% recycled card and they come nicely packaged with an envelope included. Plus you can also get these designs in gift tags that come in packs of four. You can buy them <a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/storecatalog.asp?userid=30987">online here</a>.

The flowers are from <a href="http://ftbe.com.au/">Fitzroy Therapeutics</a> where I stock my wheatbags. They always have such a beautiful collection of flowers throughout the clinic I can't help but take photos of them everytime I'm there! I'm a sucker for a good floral arrangement. <br /><br />I've rekindled my love of photography lately. I used to love it when I had my film SLR camera but it developed a problem of only developing every 3rd or 4th picture. Frustrating! And no one was able to fix it so I just stopped taking photos. Now 2 years down the track I'm keen to get back into it - I especially love landscape photography and at the other end of the scale I love macro photos. So who knows hopefully Santa can help me out with a new digital camera. Hehe. Plus I could take some awesome product shots of course! Speaking of products I know I haven't posted much of my wok of late and that's because I've been busily developing new and fun things which I'm almost finished with so hopefully next week I can start sharing!<br /><br />:)KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-31863784767369375022010-11-14T16:39:00.000-08:002010-11-14T17:39:44.610-08:00New Mushroom Cards<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhboAl5QOJNxxKhqBjeXhtQtBbiuqUQoT_Qq9y7Fl9gIF4Jg-H8j-r5O-_X87Kb0qc7wmhbuwYWIxz2C82eK82OrjmiNo-i3Q3QWdccjPuJ1tSPMvOzY3J9YCg8QCJmowqM0t_z59CKWhRM/s1600/mushroom6+"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhboAl5QOJNxxKhqBjeXhtQtBbiuqUQoT_Qq9y7Fl9gIF4Jg-H8j-r5O-_X87Kb0qc7wmhbuwYWIxz2C82eK82OrjmiNo-i3Q3QWdccjPuJ1tSPMvOzY3J9YCg8QCJmowqM0t_z59CKWhRM/s320/mushroom6+" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539583297284294498" border="0" /></a>I love mushrooms. No really I do. And fungus in general really. I love the colours, the shapes, their texture, the way they pop up in a random piece of grass or hang off a good tree stump. There are lots of mushrooms popping up in the park at the moment. I love poking at them and there's some at the moment that pop like a balloon when you stand on them. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBluavVsNO8zbteTxN2vhGycM15ZNsYFssfwO7Mw8lcF9rMbHy3jauauNVTG_rsohcY_9hgeBNiZsgTRmRyg2ZxAY5Wf2tJ-hFWrvkVTa7YE-1gVqFn8JbED4H5tJ3yTuAy5mf13uYtJM-/s1600/mushroom"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 195px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBluavVsNO8zbteTxN2vhGycM15ZNsYFssfwO7Mw8lcF9rMbHy3jauauNVTG_rsohcY_9hgeBNiZsgTRmRyg2ZxAY5Wf2tJ-hFWrvkVTa7YE-1gVqFn8JbED4H5tJ3yTuAy5mf13uYtJM-/s320/mushroom" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539583288817818402" border="0" /></a>Look at that amazing orange colour!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1Nqf83L8LSLmvoc6Ic0Kz4otTLiXSDN7Q8ORrOPAaYLxuPsqmZh7e0LO7fGAchYzAlgvxoZvBWdL8XhG7wyH7reo0BIR1g_dWcvvT8cgT6mhSJN2ExSFUNGeR-WtU3fBlMw_S7qZap2B/s1600/mushroom+card1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1Nqf83L8LSLmvoc6Ic0Kz4otTLiXSDN7Q8ORrOPAaYLxuPsqmZh7e0LO7fGAchYzAlgvxoZvBWdL8XhG7wyH7reo0BIR1g_dWcvvT8cgT6mhSJN2ExSFUNGeR-WtU3fBlMw_S7qZap2B/s320/mushroom+card1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539583285383214674" border="0" /></a>So here's a little sneak peek of some cute handrawn and coloured cards I have coming out in the next week or so.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT94Ah49GOJwyB16QYkbUtAOWEBbWRu6NqyoHeH6kZKLeaCBVr-i21Vb-WPwqPFloOnAxz5TGnYDUD_RqxtL2gbR4hOSA_cB0eVMe0wfmjX5XVkb81AfTfQgtGfpvM7ZGT6viy__At8p_y/s1600/mushroom+card2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT94Ah49GOJwyB16QYkbUtAOWEBbWRu6NqyoHeH6kZKLeaCBVr-i21Vb-WPwqPFloOnAxz5TGnYDUD_RqxtL2gbR4hOSA_cB0eVMe0wfmjX5XVkb81AfTfQgtGfpvM7ZGT6viy__At8p_y/s320/mushroom+card2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539583278671467458" border="0" /></a>They're gift card size and they come with an envelope but I'll put up a post with proper photos soon - just wanted to let you in on my current mushroom obsession!<br /><br />:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-51252326753004313682010-11-11T18:26:00.000-08:002010-11-11T18:33:23.019-08:00Making Ideas HappenI wanted to share with you <a href="http://the99percent.com/videos/6701/scott-belsky-how-to-avoid-the-idea-generation-trap">this video</a>. Its on Scott Belsky and the concepts he talks about in his best selling book <a href="http://the99percent.com/book"><span style="font-style: italic;">Making Ideas Happen</span></a>. It's a great video to watch if you're a creative who has brilliant ideas and puts all their time and energy into getting them up and running... but then you run out of steam before they're a reality and then a new idea hits and bam! off you go again. I must say I'm very guilty at this. I've gotten better over the years at following through ideas until completion but I love the way Scott explains why we go through this process and how to avoid never following through!

I've had a fabulous week of lounging by the pool, eating waaay too much food at amazing restaurants on the beach front and refining the art of doing nothing. I didn't even mind being in such a touristy place because it just meant that everyone you saw had the same contented smile and slow ambling way of walking.<br />It was straight back into crafting though with another successful North Melbourne Market yesterday and ordering lots of goodies to make my new range of products today. Yes I can't wait to show you all what I've been working on in the last few months. I'm planning to push it along these next 2 weeks so I can launch the products (well some of them) at the next market. So fingers crossed everything goes as planned!<br /><br />:) KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341719473560871017.post-90832642290853796492010-10-13T16:45:00.001-07:002010-10-13T16:59:00.345-07:00Muntedkowhai<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1e-OAy6SiRoUfRiF1GZa0vEjVKMCzo4Yb03yn5Mq2q1KNXvODLqeMqVQ91DVkzD46cSqdkV7bVu6-4nbtm2pqp_UIMiMGfgGDNjOuGmwLapjgk5v4OOf-27FcWjN8la_x7JegCk6eg_b/s1600/MuntedKowhai1"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1e-OAy6SiRoUfRiF1GZa0vEjVKMCzo4Yb03yn5Mq2q1KNXvODLqeMqVQ91DVkzD46cSqdkV7bVu6-4nbtm2pqp_UIMiMGfgGDNjOuGmwLapjgk5v4OOf-27FcWjN8la_x7JegCk6eg_b/s320/MuntedKowhai1" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527681232758745362" border="0" /></a>I've been following the <a href="http://thedesignfiles.net/category/guest/">guest blog by Craft Hatch</a> this week on The Design Files and one of the artists featured is Puiyi Tiffany Pang who's gorgeous business is called <a href="http://www.muntedkowhai.bigcartel.com/blog">Muntedkowhai</a>.

But if you're free on the day check it out as I reckon there will be more beautiful pieces like these necklaces.<br /><br />:)KimEmitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01077725423037730518noreply@blogger.com0
