grow old with me.

here's an 18"x24" fabric collage on canvas with vintage buttons to taste. i've called it 'grow old with me' and was inspired by the background fabric that i picked up at my local opshop. i like this one. its a one off - so it's pretty special. (the ribbon is straight in real life...my photoshopping skills just aren't anything to write home about).




i'm listening to the cardigans and eating popcorn as i play with my new plastic finds from the opshop that i picked up yesterday. simple pleasures.

go green.

it had to be done... a few of my favourite green things that make my mind whir with excitement.

bird-o-rama.

don't ask me why i'm going all 'o-rama' on you..but i can't not show you the two latest members of the paper bird family. they're breeding fast..so beware.
