Oooh. The eyes. Pretty lady.

On the weekend we went down to Cygnet with a friend of ours. It was really nice country drive down, for those that don’t know where Cygnet it is about an hour south of Hobart. I took a couple of happy snaps while I was there. One of Lilly the pup, wattle and female wrens, which were hoping about eating worms.

These are the artworks that I completed for the Rainy Days exhibition. The opening is at Cube tomorrow night. I can’t wait to see what everyone else did.
If you’re out and about in Salamanca, Hobart during the week drop by Cube to see all the works.
Each original piece will be for sale at Cube!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week.

This is a little preview of what I have been working on of late. Feathers and pink!

*Anyone who will be in Brissy this weekend, should go to the Finders Keepers Markets and visit the lovely Lauren Carney and the other talented creatives that will be participating. Good luck to everyone involved and I hope you all have success. x

The above photos are of plants I picked while on a short walk in South Hobart. I wanted to photograph different perspectives of natural forms.

My poor neglected blog. Sorry everyone, I’ve been pretty busy which unfortunately, means limited or in this case no blogging time. Things are coming from each angle at the moment but the things that I am organising are very exciting indeed and I can’t wait to share all the news. But unfortunately, some of these exciting things have to wait.

I can let you know that I plan to be in a group exhibition in July. It’s going to be hosted in Cube, a lovely little boutique in Salamanca, Hobart. The exhibition itself is called Rainy Days, which I find very appropriate for this time of year in Hobart, brrrrr! just a tad cold. My business Partner of Floatingworld, Alecia will also be participating. Weeee… fun times ahead.

I thought I would share this as well. Ages ago I entered the Finders Keepers comp. Here is a little interview about me and my works. Enjoy. : )

Constance Jablonski by Cédric Buchet for i-D Summer 2010
Awww… Such a pretty lady.
There’s something really appealing about black and white photography. I think it’s the romantic and dreamy presence they create, especially in these images. I’m not sure what it is but these images remind me of Gustav Klimt’s paintings (one of my favourite artists). Maybe it’s the composition.

Hope everyone had a fantastic day! Mine was spent running around after my own tail. But it was a good day none the less.

I love them and I want them all!
Cat is a lovely sort and a friend of mine. She makes awesome things with her own two little hands. Yes these little guys are all sewn by hand. That’s because Cat is a clever little button. Cat’s had her own label for a while now from memory, I think since 2005 (but it’s worth knowing even I sometimes don’t rely on my own memory). Cat’s label, for those that don’t know, is cat-rabbit. You can find Cat-Rabbit things for sale on Cat’s etsy store. YAY!

*I’ve updated my etsy store. My shop now has cards for sale, however over the next week I’ll be uploading the cards in packets to the shop as well. x

So here it is! The start of the competition Hummingbirdie.
I’m pretty happy with how this little guy is coming along.
Mind you, it’s taken me a couple of half finished sketches, that have been tossed around my studio floor (that’s my filing) and a gazillion lemongrass teas to even get to this stage.
I think at some stage it would be great to share all my half un-finished drawings, that way people can see the extent of the processes it takes to get to just this stage.
We as the public, generally only get see completed artwork by artists, illustrators and designers published in mags, books etc… And think, ‘gosh that’s impressive how BRILLIANT IS THAT ARTIST! I wish I could create amazingness like that.‘
But sometimes we forget that it takes, even the most respected artists, dedication, research and drawing after drawing to finish with something incredible.  I think we need to embrace all the  uncompleted drawings we do, it’s all apart of a bigger picture.  That’s one positive thing I like about the interweb (internet) it’s a great source to see share our experiences, process and methods. Blogs are fantastic for this. Lets keep sharing! Here here!

Yikes, rambles they were, hopefully helpful ones.
I hope everyone has a grand weekend.
I hope to get down to the Salamanca markets and buy heaps of vegies to make abundances of soup.

I know a little disturbing posting about dead things.
But how incredible are these images! I found them while doing research on Hummingbirds.
I was struck by the beauty captured in the images, much so that I had to share them.
The composition is pretty incredible as well.
Not to mention the sheen and simmer of the feathers.

I hope to capture some of this magical beauty in the image that I produce for Bec.

These images are from flickr.
A lady named Liz (a.k.a: photoartist3) took these photos. Unfortunately I don’t know much more about her, other than she has many more brilliant shots. See for yourself. x

I hope everyone is having a brill day. I have been feeling a tad under the weather of late. I’ve had a few days at home recuperating, which has been nice. I think this afternoon if I’m up to it I’ll start Bec’s image. I’m way to excited to leave it for much longer.
