all things creative past & present

I am soooo exhausted, so my apologies that I have been dragging on my posting this week – ha not that it matters!  Excuses aside, I am so excited about my current creative projects…

and in the meantime, I am happy to share some random projects (you may have already seen)  I have documented on my computer

^ I took this picture on a fairy to Rose Bay last Saturday… stunning sight seeing the harbor on a clear sunny day…

}{

^ from my old header… this actually is a picture of the property I grew up on in Paradise Valley, AZ.  Since we have moved they have demolished the lot… during one of my nostalgic bouts last year I walked to the land and took these pictures.  I miss it…

}{

^ this has two ideas I really like.  1 – I have a love obsession peacock feathers.  They are a perfect decorative touch to any room  2- using a vase or container to store letters etc is an easy solution to eliminate clutter…

}{

^ I plan on documenting my latest cooking excursions but I can sum it up here with my new addiction to spice.  Chillies add personality to everything you cook…  I think I enjoy them too much – I burnt my skin on a raw chillie last week!  Lucky for me there is an abundance of amazing Asian food products down under… more to come!!!  oh yes and tropical fruits that are not imported into usa!

}{

^ This is a picture from the Karen Walker eye wear look book that Bespoke retouched while I worked there!

}{

^ I made this paddle for my little sister in my sorority a few years ago… but I thought it was unique show and tell

}{

^ I made this New Years Card that is inspired by fireworks…

}{

^ A pair of earrings I designed and made inspired by birds and sky – I love asymmetrical jewelry.  If interested please contact me :)

}{

^ Just a sample…

^ Photo I took of beautiful crimson roses last fall… They were by far the most spectacular flowers I have ever received.  The petals looked like velvet in person.
