I JUST started making cards and I SOLD OUT of every single one this fair. Sorry, I am super excited. They are screen printed and then hand painted with my watercolors. I add a bit of gold in there, too. I need to get printing/painting before the big Ann Arbor Art Fair! I will hopefully have packs of them up in the website as soon as I get through these fairs 🥵! #soldout #handprinted #handpainted #getmaking #handmade #moths #tigermoth #mothart #insectart #entomologyart #animalart #natureart #grandhaven #lakemichigan #michiganart #cards #handmadecards #uniquegifts (at Grand Haven, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWQrmXn9ZV/?igshid=wad0x12tvj82

On the road today: it’s easy to forget that the Australian countryside is not just about the wide landscapes - there’s an incredible amount of sky. In amongst those trees is the homestead of the property where I grew up: just outside the tiny country town of Bowenville: first time I’ve been back here for a very long time. Incredibly dry all the way out, although some talk of potential rain - fingers crossed. And I couldn’t resist this classic Country Women’s Association building in another small town, Esk. #getmaking #roadtrip #bloodylongtimeinthecar #queenslandcountry (at Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoWTj32lniE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sv6e0j7cyl0j

Real or not ? Hand-made this afternoon I think our paper peonies are not bad for a 1st go! It’s very calming working with crepe paper, the way it can be shaped and molded with fingertips: made easier with a talented teacher @_papetal_ and her book #flowersmithbook at an afternoon class at @mudaustralia #papercrafts #getmaking #sydney @nsievert (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoEG_MHFzqY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p36r310r1rj0

Was hanging out with Karl at the hairdresser on the weekend. He’s kind of big for an amigurumi - his head is about the size of a rockmelon - but still cute. #GetMaking #chunkywool #knitting #amigurumi #KarlLagerfeld (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTN7yKFi2E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdia9cooqgfw

A big chunky ball of chunky wool: trialing new yarns, this one didn’t make the grade though. Still fun to play with. #GetMaking #chunkywool #knitting #weightliftingforknitters (at Sydney, Australia)

Knit stitch with chunky wool - the tension is a bit tighter than usual for this particular small project, if you were making a throw a looser stitch is best. This is our Loopy Mango super chunky wool in Heather Grey, with size 50 circular needles.

Aged tequila served with dark chocolate and chilli popcorn. Yes. Yes. Yes. #titos #surryhills #sydney #getmaking (at Sydney, Australia)
