On my walls...

I have been tagged by Hollie to show off some of the stuff I have on my walls – so here we go! (PS Hollie has a great blog – ilovehokey.blogspot.com - have a look :)

I have a workspace in our garage, here I can get messy with paint, clay and ink without worrying about the desk or floor too much – I love it!

On the wall: framed set of 9 greeting cards from the Spring Stole collection by Little Jane St, brushes, palette knives, ceramic tools, paint, linocut and anything else I need to clear from the desk...

In the hallway...


OK, so the following is not technically a wall, however I do look out this window from my office space, so I thought it would be ok to include it...


On the wall (ehh.. window seal): Vintage bottles, my mum's origami creation (love the texture!), my grandmother's antique dutch cacao tin (adore the colours and patterns)

'Miss Caulfield' limited edition print by Tsk Tsk, lace bowls by me

Dutch Down Under artwork

The oil painting in this photo is very special to me, as it is a sketch of my horse (may he rest in horse-heaven), made by Marcel Duran, an amazing and very talented artist from the Netherlands. This painting was given to us on our wedding day by my aunt, uncle and cousins, and even though it is 'just a sketch', it captures my horse perfectly and the way he used to eat ever so slowly, whilst my cousin's horse is eagerly awaiting to be let out of her stables so she can finish off the rest of his meal... A very special reminder of the great times we had...

I am pretty new to this 'tagging' business and although I know plenty of great bloggers whose walls I would love to see, I am trying to avoid tagging people that wouldn't really want to be tagged... I am just not sure what the 'tagging etiquette' is, if there even is one? So instead I will leave it up to you – if you would like to be tagged just leave me a comment!

Tiel blogged about her pictures being here and I not only liked your pic of her work but those gum nuts. What a gorgeous, simple, yum arrangement. I'm glad Tiel mentioned you, I love finding another Australian artist. Yah.

Thanks for your comment Tiel – and your post! I love looking at your gorgeous prints, it makes even boring admin jobs more cheerful!

Katiecrackernuts (love the name!) – thank you too for your feedback. And aren't the gum nuts gorgeous? The best thing is they have since dried beautifully so I can hang on to them for a while longer!
