We were very lucky the other day to see three whales on our tour just off the Kaikoura coast. We managed to get pretty close to the last whale and the backdrop was pretty stunning. 

It's great being back in New Zealand at the moment. There is a such a strong arts and crafts community here and there is always so much great work to see.

The other day I came across the stunning work of Sharon Finn who constructs the most amazing work with cages, chandeliers and bodices using vintage jewellery, buttons, crystals and more.

You can see more on her website. Or visit the showroom at 151 Newton Rd, Newton, Auckland.

Wow its been a long time coming! I've been a bit distracted with getting 'i do' it yourself set up, and I've had these poppy photos sitting around on my desktop for months meaning to do something with them. Well, I've finally got a bit of time off in New Zealand at the moment and I managed to get the images finished on the plane on the way over. Will put them on the shop for sale soon.

We're on redbubble! Now you can easily buy our images as prints, cards and canvases. Check out the site here.
