I’ve been working on more illustrated bookplates over the weekend.

Two new designs: Little Mo and Rabbit Reader. All printed professionally on 100% recycled paper. I think they will make happy gifts for all occasions.

This concludes my bookplate series! You can find four different sets in my shop by searching ‘bookplates’. Enjoy!

I’m so excited to show you my latest creation! Bookplates! Ta-dah!

These bookplates are all printed professionally on recycled paper with a flawless matte finish. I’m so happy with the print quality that I keep running my fingers on the stickers. I love them so much!

They are all handmade by me and packed into little packets with gift tag labels. Each pack comes with 6 sticker labels. Just peel and stick. Two designs to choose from in my shop: Garden Greens or Mouse Hugger. Enjoy:)

Hello 3.30am and I’ve finally finished an epic artwork. A magazine illustration for the Mental Health Division, Department of Health WA.

I thought I’d share some before and after pictures with you. This was what I roughly sketched and sent to the client BEFORE:

And after colouring and touching up. This is AFTER:

As you can see, I tend to go crazy with details. And I also tend to experiment with as much colours as possible.

Sometimes it drives me nuts and it makes me wonder why I even bother. But sometimes I like the challenge.

I think this blonde sweetheart has sort of made up for the late nights:)

When you press the buttons, it makes the loudest ding!! It’s a beautiful sound and I can’t stop giggling like an idiot! It also drives big mo crazy when I play with it. But it’s cute though and I use it to store little bits and pieces like my mail stamps.

Working on some sketches. Any guesses on what I’ll be making next year? I can tell you two words; fun and cute!

Don’t forget to come down to Perth Upmarket to check out my art this Sunday at the Perth Town Hall. 10am -4pm. Take home some handmade mo goodness!

Also, the lovely Tracey from quiet paws is doing a giveaway on her blog. Just leave a comment here to be included in the giveaway. You win a pack of my mouse tags and a couple of nuts. Good luck!

It’s raining outside and it’s making pitter patter sounds on the rooftop. I am listening to Billie Holiday while ironing my mo bags.

Also finished packing another round of orders from my Special Deals page. I get excited when my art is travelling places.

Christmas! It’s always a mad rush at this time of the year.

I’ve been making gift tags all afternoon…punching holes and hammering them to stock in my shop. You can also pick these gift tags up at Made On The Left this Sunday. I hope to see you all there.

Don’t forget that I gift wrap all my orders. If you’re buying for a birthday, a Christmas gift or just because, let me know what you’d like to write on the tags or note card.

Even if you’re buying something for yourself, it’s still nice to open it like a present, don’t you think?

Loving my weekend! Picked up my calendars from the printer and worked through the night tying each calendar up with christmas coloured ribbons.

They are now ready to be shipped to happy homes, in time for Christmas. 25 books left in my shop. You can get them here

Later we got a call from the real estate agent, that our application we submitted for a place has been approved. Hoorah! We’ll be moving closer to the city, and closer to the printers! And we’ll have a bigger work area to do all my drawings, cutting, gluing and dancing…hehe!

I expect the coming week to be hectic and crazy as we pack and move to our new place. Stay tuned for pictures of our adventures!

I’ve been working on my 2010 Mo Calendars this weekend and they are finally finished! Tomorrow I will be bringing them to the printers to get them professionally printed. Here is a sneak peek of the inside pages. The calendar will feature all of my garden series and some new artworks.

I want to see my Mo calendars go to happy homes and be tucked inside Christmas stockings this year! So yaaah! ENJOY!

3 more days till Sunday Best and I have been packaging my stationery. Today I rounded my new postcards, made some labels and popped them into sleeves. These are my ‘Beautiful Day’ collection. They are available in my shop.

Later in the night I made more recycled paper bags for the market because they tend to run out quite fast. I managed to use up all my paper scraps so it feels good de-cluttering and recycling!

On another note, we have been looking for a place to move into before our wedding, which means after the markets I’ll be packing other stuff! The past 9 years I feel like I’ve been moving from one place to another.

Everything that I own resides in boxes that remain taped up. And every time I travel across the ocean or some place new, these boxes travel with me. I want to look forward to that moment when I don’t have to worry about lugging boxes around anymore!
