I am sure that is what these beautiful swans were playing, round and round they went.

Dad checking on progress..."one hatching to go" says Mum

Mother and babies

Amazing how these little ones survive. Sitting right on top of the water, Mum and Dad spent quite some time as I watched chasing other birds who were either curious or a predator. Photo taken in Den Haag, Netherlands

My beautiful Melbourne

My beautiful Melbourne City. St.Paul's Cathedral. It has recently been cleaned and she stands proud in her new dress.

Olives and chillies

Vic Market, Oh! the sights, sounds and aromas. I wandered through with a Borek in one hand and camera in the other. These olives and chillies caught my creative eye and appetite.

Long time no see

I am not very good at updating my blog although I have travelled a lot this year then fractured my rib so I do have some excuses.

Spring is in the air one day, not the next although that is typical spring weather I guess. To wake up with the birds chatting is the first delight of the day, well...at my age to wake up, is the first delight of the day.

I have finished my 'This is not a sketch book" for the Sketch Book Project. I joined it mainly for motivation, to keep doing something creative each day. It turned out such a source of enjoyment and discovery. I recommend their site to everyone, they have many different projects going on.
Another project here in Australia is the 'Notebook Project" from Fibre Arts Australia www.fibrearts.viviti.com/notebook-project 
It doesn't have to be done necessarily in fibre, it can be anything you like.With this project you get your notebook back after its tour.


If you are looking for Art Gifts, Stationery or just a creative wander then 'Orlando and Ivy' is the place to visit in North Melbourne www.orlandoandivy.com  check out the website first. 

Little fishies

Not sure if I mentioned it before but for those that don't know, the little fish can be fed by holding your mouse anywhere and giving a few clicks and it lays down yummy fishy food and they gobble it up...how cool....not my invention, it came with the template of the blog but whoever thought it up...thank you..I luv it.

The beginning: The Book of Nowhere

This is the beginning of my second art journal. I enjoy art journaling as it gives me a place to flow and the ability to be able to make my own books if I wish. This book is not handmade. It is a black hardcover sketch book that I bought from my favourite art shop. Random shapes are the foundation of my art. I begin by intuitively building upon abstract marks and shapes; gradually refining and arranging forms. This process can lead to surprising and varied results. My work is intricate and surreal, often taking on a natural organic theme.
My title is as ethereal as my work.

Another of Professor Strebor's discoveries

Professor Strebor has been with me for quite some time now. My first handmade book was on his reasearch in Dendrology and his investigations in the far North Forest.
