For all you scrapbooking and paper craft champs out there: I've designed a couple of print sets for you. The great thing about this product is that it's a digital download. That means you can buy it now, print it now (no waiting for it to arrive in the mail).

And so you ask, where might I find these wonderful prints?

Look no further than my Etsy store.

    Do you feel that cosmic sigh of relief as Friday night kicks in. I do, and now I have a few nice things to announce.

    For starters I'd like to share news of a sale made on Red Bubble just the other day. I love the look and clickety clack sound of typewriters, and so I did a digital drawing of one. Click clack clickety clack.

    I have a few drawing projects on the go at the moment. One of those has been conceptualising a cat doll with a flower print that I designed all by my little ole self. If time allows I'll try to mock up the doll this week.

Hoo Owl Takes Flight

This is a proud moment, for herein are photos of my first completed plush Hoo Owl doll. I am now considering making a few more.

Onion the Plush Bunyip

Meet Onion the Bunyip... a plush doll of my own creation which I finished making only just now. 

Onion the Bunyip is made of material which I bought from a patchwork craft shop, when I was in Darwin for my Honeymoon a few years back. The prints are a variety of Aboriginal designs - very cool and earthy.

Initially I had intended on designing a bunny rabbit plush doll, but the design evolved into something entirely different. There wasn't a single creature that I could truly compare this plush doll to so I decided he must be a bunyip.

Other distinctive features of Onion is his lovely floppy ears, and rotatable arms and legs.

More Tree Prints

Here are some more tree prints that I think would look fantastic on fabric. I am imagining these prints on hankies and patchwork fabrics, on cloth notebook covers and even bags.

Pink Print

Originally I had intended that this print have a blue and green colour scheme. However it evolved into something else and became very... girlish.

"Fashion Story" Comeback

Aeons ago while studying fashion I illustrated the above female figure. That was well over ten years ago. And in the last three years this old girl keeps making a comeback in one form or another. In 2007 she became an acrylic painting, which hangs in my house. Since then she has also appeared in one of my zines. And today I once again find myself pulling her out of the archives, turning her into a Photoshop paint brush.

This print would look amazing on fabric.
