Doily art

Oh I know it has been done before but I could not resist decorating this tree near my home when I found a stash of doilies at my local op shop. Do you see the skulls?

Street Art

I was allowed to steal these small xmas deco card cutouts by Paul Cosgrave [laser cut from recycled cardboard packaging] from the totally stylish Matterhorn Bar in Wellington, NZ on the last night of their showing.

So I brought them all back to Melbourne and found them all a lovely new home in Elwood and St Kilda.

Graffiti

I have been writing chalk graffiti in my street for a while now, just things to keep me smiling and to pass a thoughtful or silly message on to passersby [who I can see thru my studio window reading them!]. I was inspired by Keri Smith's book The Graffiti Art Kit.

'Everything will be just fine' is a good mantra to have as you walk outside your home, or 'just look up we are both under the same starry sky'. Across the road is a wedding venue where I wrote 'this day will never happen again'. Or 'you look really good today'.

It still does not rain around here much so the chalk words last for ages.  I was very moved to find this note carefully waterproofed and taped to my fence yesterday!
