Some cute new works added to our etsy shop this week, miniature toy town effects of Venice. There are SO many more photos to go through so Im sure there will be more to come.

Ahh the Sydney Opera House, those beautiful tiled sails, nothing can beat it for architectural beauty right? Well, this isn't the Opera House...

…when I first saw this picture I thought someone had been having fun in photoshop, but this is actually the Lotus of Bahapur in India. A house of worship designed by Fariborz Sahba. Of course the Opera House is still first for originality, the Lotus wasn't built until 1986, but Im surprised such a beautiful building is not more well know.

So I cant really say new work for this, its something I did many years ago and just found on an old backup this weekend. But its still really lovely :) 'Buddha and lotus' available in my etsy and redbubble shops.

Bad, bad me Im so far behind with all my blog posts!
Last year we finally made it to Sculpture by the Sea, two years right by Bondi and we'd never been before!  My favourite sculptures were the steel camel complete with its own sewing machine by Suzie Bleach & Andy Townsend, and a beautiful wave made from eucalyptus sticks by Peter Collins. But of course I have to love the steel French Bulldog sculptures by Geoff Harvey standing on sentry duty along the coastal path.

Sticking with my new years resolution to do one artwork a week (well at least work on one, make a start each week) here is 'tree cathedral'. The creative monsoon etsy shop is back up and running too.

Here's a little something I stumbled onto today, beautiful Paris and London maps based on an original paper cut design. For sale through Famillie Summerbelle. I might have to pick up one of these, gorgeous!

Who said crayons were for kids? Christian Faur brings a whole new approach to the medium by grouping hundreds of coloured crayons together to form a pixelated image. Amazing. I hope he gets a good deal from Crayola.

Every now and then I come across a style of work that really makes me stop in my tracks. I just love the beautiful and inspiring blog and gorgeous etsy shop of Dolan Geiman - contempory art with a southern accent.

I have to say Im really liking the new way of viewing my tshirts over on redbubble. Gives you a great idea of how they look.

I came across some really beautiful examples of typography today featured on tripwire magazines site. Amazing combinations of type and illustration.

It's getting close! Christmas is nearly here, but there is still just enough time to get your creative monsoon orders in.

I came across the work of MonAlisa Design at a craft fair a few months ago and I've been meaning to post something. With Christmas just round the corner make sure you check out her etsy store, my favourites are the beautiful baby mobiles and birds (called tweets)- so cute.
