{ NECKLACE COLLECTION }

The above image showcases some of my original bird inspired necklaces that I made for the Finders Keepers Markets. I attended both the Brisbane and Sydney markets in November and early December and both were great fun. I have to say – what an amazing opportunity for creatives such as myself, being able to network with other creatives and customers. So much fun!

The necklaces themselves, are created from both original art and digital prints of my illustrations.

No two necklaces are the same which makes them extra special.

Each necklace is finished with a fine cotton thread attached to a sterling sliver clasp and each pendant is protected from the natural elements with a coat of satin varnish.

These little necklaces were quite popular and I’ve already managed to sell out. However, I’m hoping to make more early in 2011 so if anyone is interested in being updated with when I will be launching another range please email me with your email address you’d like me to forward emails to: hello[at]beth-emily.com.au

The above pictures are from the Sydney Finders Keepers Markets where I shared a stall with the lovely Cat-Rabbit.

I took a picture of some clouds from the plane when I was coming back home. Pretty clouds look like marshmallows in the sky.

♥♥♥ Oh… how I love these shots: Brightly coloured illustrations with monochromatic
photography and the lovely lady ‘Erin Wasson’. ♥♥♥

‘Erin Wasson plays both designer and model for the fall lookbook of her collaborative collection with RVCA clothing. Lensed by David Mushegain, Erin poses in front of a whimsical backdrop of colorful illustrations drawn by Alia Penner. Evoking a sense of casual cool, the images reflect the laid-back spirit of the autumn range with its focus on denim, tees and accessories.’

Words from: Fashion Gone Rogue.

Here’s a little peek at an image I have been working on. I’ve been using textured paper to draw on lately and I’m really liking the surface and the texture/depth that it creates with the pencil. Can’t wait to finish it.

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.
