Inside Out feature!

What an exciting day. I have just got my copy of the Inside Out July/August issue which features one of my wall-hangings. The styling by Vanessa Colyer Tay is gorgeous and I love how the wall-hanging presents itself. The magazine is out now so grab a copy, there's a lot of beautiful stuff in this issue :)

More on my Wall-hangings

On Wednesday my Hemp Wall-hangings will be featured in the July/August issue of InsideOut magazine. I am thrilled to bits and can't wait for it to hit the stands. I had a sneak peak on friday from a friend who gets the issue early being a subscriber. The feature looks gorgeous! I will do a post about it on wednesday, for now here are other ways in which I've used my screenprinted hemp around the house. I've pushed the contrast on the photos deliberately. I'm liking the darkness and the depth.

A white screenprinted one which I am using as a covering for a chest of drawers

I made one into a big floppy cushion which is loved by us all at home :)

Inspiration from Colette Calascione

I absolutely love looking at the work of Colette Calascione. All her paintings are awe inspiring and I could stare at each one for hours. Please look at her work here. It's awesome.

Visiting Betty the Florist...

The Most Beautiful Florist

In Lane Cove there is a most beautiful florist shop. I go past nearly every day and never has it failed to take my breath away. The shop is called Indulge and you can also order flowers online here. Betty Tane (the owner) also stocks my greeting card range as well as many unique garden and interior pieces. You can see some in the photos.

There is always something amazing to look at inside. The display of flowers out the front is always stunning. Betty says she displays the flowers depending on how she feels. Knowing this I like to guess what's on her mind :) Yesterday I took some photos of the shop inside and outside. I just love it.

Work in progress

I have been photographing this piece while I paint it and it's interesting how it is evolving. I started with no particular concept in mind other than I wanted it to be long and vertical. It is still being worked on. I will post the final image when I decide it's done :) I am very happy seeing the evolution of it in photos.
