Looking through Windows on William

Last night I went out to see the opening of Windows on William that I talked about in the last post. I went with a group of Perth etsy girls and it was so much fun! Firstly we looked at the Made on the Left window that they had organised and installed.

The girls were created by Ali J and Jacquie.

I love how everything that everyone made matches and not just because we had a colour theme, I guess we all just share similar aesthetics :)

Here's a couple more window installations that I really liked

I looove this one, all those fat ladies falling :D By Sean Morris.


The event was kind of interactive in that we could collect a print from each shop, I didn't end up collecting them all, I ran out of time.

Windows on William

Photobucket


I almost forgot to blog about this! I was invited by the lovely girls at Made on the Left to participate in their window installation for Windows on William. So I made mini versions of my Buhni cushions, they are about 15cm high!

I've been so inactive!

I'm so sorry I've been so quiet and not posting anything for weeks! I realised that the last time I posted a picture was back in September, how lazy of me. I have been busy too...not just lazy! Uni has almost come to a close for the year and I've been kept busy with assignments and planning for the graduation exhibition. I've got one more class to attend and 2 assignments to hand in, eek! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed lately there's so much going through my head about what to do for uni, what happens after uni, will I get illustration jobs, will I have to take on a crappy ordinary job so I'll have money, will my business venture of selling my crafts work out...the list is endless really and I am a huge worry wart. Anything you can think of, I'll worry about it. I'm trying not to and keep talking to myself to stay optimistic but sometimes it's hard. Like today, I got notified that I didn't get into one of the markets I applied for and I feel real bummed about that. I was put onto a shortlist for future events but it's still not a guarantee.

Anyways, enough of the depressing talk! I have a nice illustration to share with you :)

xmas2008

I did it for a uni assignment, it's used for the front of a self-promotional postcard that I can send out to potential clients (also to be used as my Xmas card this year hehe). I really love how the wombat came out! He's so fat and roly poly and I think I got the balance of the body just perfect. I would love to create a little story for him...maybe one day :)

I'll post pictures of the actual postcard (I got it printed!) another day. Today was too overcast and rainy to take any good photos :P And I promise to update a little more often! I have more illustrations to share I just need to resize them for posting so please check back soon!
