Beci Orpin's Interior Range

Beci Orpin range with Urban Outfitters.

    Beci Orpin is a wonderful illustrator known here in Australia throughout art and craft circles [from reading Frankie magazine and following Jacky Winter]. And now a US retailer, Urban Outfitters, has collaborated with her to create some wonderful interior decorating packages.
    I had a look at Beci's range and I am smitten. It's like bringing a bit of childhood into an adult bedroom. Wonderful stuff!

It's a Room

Illustration by Melissa Gaggiano.

    It is a hot one today. 29 degrees C to be exact. So I am making the best of the day indoors - a little dinner preparation [Tandoori chicken tonight], a game of snakes and ladders, reading for my  photography course, and this illustration.

Kids Bedroom Art Installation

    This week I addressed a problem of my eldest daughter's artwork simply lying around the house on the floor. To begin with it quickly making a mess for such a small environment. Therefore it was not having a proper chance for admiration.
    Intent on turning one wall in the kids bedroom into an art installation, I went out and bought a handful of hooks, clothes line pegs and 5 meters of pink ribbon. And this is what I did...

1. I twisted the hooks into the wall as high up as I could go on[I didn't want tiny hands pulling down the art installation]in a zig zag pattern.
2. I tied the ribbon to the top most hook and hooked it onto the lower hooks following the zig zag effect, then tying it off on the last hook. I made sure the ribbon wasn't too saggy, nor too tight.
3. Using the clothes line pegs I can now attach the kids artwork to the ribbon running across the wall.
