Latest Advert for Patchwork on Central park

Patchwork on Central Park Sale Postcard

If your not on the Patchwork on Central Park mailing list you wouldn't have received one of these postcards I did.
The Sale was a little while back but I'd like to show you all anyway!



Please remember all pieces are copyrighted to me and cannot be used without my permission.

I am also happy to do commission pieces!

total CTRL

lt never ceases to amaze  me how the Scandinavians are go spot on with their fashion sense and designs. Yes, | am probably sooo behind in  discovering this brand but thought would share anyway.

l feel l have been very absorbed in Australian high fashion lately that l have forgotten about my  love for `Street wear'. That was until l flicked through Cooler Magazine and Saw this amazing photo and fell in love with this brand CTRL.

Naturally I had to order some of this rad gear. | Can't wait till l receive my order. This  is what  I'm waiting for:

I think I'm in love with vertical stripes at the moment, having just painted Robio like that, these pants were a must. it'll be pretty funny to wear these while i'm working in the Fitzroy store!l yeeow_

You can also buy CTRL at Heist and Eastkoast

George Barbier

I really love the Illustrations of George Barbier. One of the Great French Illustrators in the early 20th Century.
His work shows great flamboyant fashions from the times and are very inspiring to myself.
They way he Illustrates people is so elegant, it makes me wish to live in such a society!
When I was in Londons Portobello Market last I came across one of his lithographs and ummed an ahhed over it too long because when I went back to buy it the stall holders were gone! the only ones to have left early that day. I was so shattered but that will teach me.

here is some examples of his beautiful work

This was the SALE card I did for the last Patchwork on Central Park sale which was on the 2nd of May

Blythe Exhibition At Robio Official flyer

This Friday the 1st of May between 6 and 9 Robio is having an Exhibition that celebrates all things Blythe and the local girls that dedicate their time to making outfits, customise, take photos and Illustrate Blythe.
This is the official Flyer for the event , the photo is By Natasha from Pixel kitty and the flyer is designed by my partner in crime Tommie. I think it's an amazing flyer and it's sure to be a really equally amazing event!
I will be making punch (the non-alcoholic variety - your welcome to spike your own punch though) and cupcakes.
Even if your remotly interested in Blythe Dolls I think you should come down to Robio in Fitzroy to have a look at some of the beautiful works these girls have done.
Gina Garan will also be donating a photograph which will be given out as a door prize plus (fingers crossed) there will be some New Blythe dolls for sale and Auction at the event!

Bring your Camera as Gina Garan and Junie Moon want to show the Blythe world how Australians celebrate Blythe!

Hope to see you there!

Never ending search

I seem to have such bad habits or luck (not sure which one) when it comes to wanting the things I can't easily find.

So my current search is for those amazingly sweet traditional greek slippers.
I don't know there real name and I don't know if there is anywhere in Melbourne or outside of Greece where you can buy them.
I don't even know why I didn't see them those many times I was in Greece!

I did find this photo
which does seem like it's the closest I'll get for now!

Blythe Exhibition At Robio

here's the Flyer for the up coming Blythe exhibition to be held on the 1st of May. I know there will be some fantastic entries. I think I need to get into gear to produce something I can finally be a part of!

tee Illustrations

A new project that i really really enjoy doing. Hand Illustrated tees.

I bought some amazing fabric markers to do the job!
I am going to sell these - where, when and how much I don't know, but think I will build up a collection before I do and suss any interest.

Hooded Scarfes

A small capsule range by Earbats.
they are hooded scarves which are reversible and have a press stud so you can get crative with how you wrap it around yourself.
It's a good item for when its not cold enough to wear a jumper or layer it up!

I have them for sale on my etsy site and they are $15 USD

Australia

A recent collaboration between POKETO, and super talented artists from Australia turned out one of the best Poketo wallet series ever!

I really loved Lilly Piri's representation of Australia. I like how it's the animals that tell the viewer straight away where they are are the kids in the picture are as sweet as pie!

I'm so happy that I managed to score the original drawing for the front of the wallet. It's really a very special drawing!
Lilly has a nice website that showcases all her work here
