Bits and Pieces






I've been really really busy for the last couple of weeks working on projects, including a huge one for university where we have to draw eight observational drawings (above is my favourite one). I've been finding it so hard to work in this lovely spring weather though!

Some things I've been liking: 
- handmade rose body spray I got from a lady at the markets (it smells so amazing, like real roses!)
- Natural Instinct Daily Moisturiser, which I originally bought because of the cute packaging, and the fact it is mostly made of natural things and it's not tested on animals, but it's actually also nice to use and it smells like lavender!
- Gardenia perfume from here, I love the smell of gardenias, they remind me of all the good things: summer, my birthday and nice walks through gardens.
- I got some really pretty crystals super cheap from a lady who was selling them out of her garage in the Burringbar Range. The huge chunk of rose quartz was only $3 and the necklace was $6!
- My lovely new quilt cover. It's so fresh and it's like I have a little piece of the country in my city apartment. It also brings out my windowsill plants haha!

I've also been super busy making zines (including this new one) for a pop up art/zine fair I'm going to in Geelong. If you live in Geelong (or even in Melbourne) you should come along. There'll be heaps of cool artists selling their stuff and I'll be there selling brooches, a super special limited edition new zine, as well as a bunch of other zines both old and new.
