More pattern! Happy Friday.
Map Making
I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I’m working on at the moment, because who doesn’t like a bit of a sticky beak at what others are doing?
I loved geography at school, mainly because I got to trace and colour-in maps, and if schoolkid me knew I’d get to create maps as an adult it would no doubt have blown my mind. And sure, while the maps I make now usually have very little to do with tracing paper and textas, they’re still fun to make. Here’s a sneak peek of a super simple map I’m working on for a great local not-for-profit (can you guess which?!), that will soon end up on the back of a postcard.
More Patternalia
Lots of spring pattern making going on around here. I need some new clothes and figure maybe they should involve my own designs. Bring on summer!
Patternalia
Spring’s here in Melbourne and change is in the air. Along with a lot of pollen. And cleaning, lots of spring cleaning. On warmer days it also means you might be able to go out with just a T-shirt and no jacket, wow.
I’ve been working on some new patterns lately, inspired by the change in weather, and here’s the first, Spring Days. It still needs a few tweaks but the colours are just how I wanted them. I’d quite like to wear this pattern as a T-shirt, so maybe it’s time to think about some digital printing…we’ll see.
Hope your October is going great!
Cooking: Ricotta
What do you do when you’ve got some creamy jersey milk in the fridge that’s about to expire? Make ricotta! So easy, so delicious. It’s going into the Ottolenghi Pasta and Butternut Squash tray bake I’m making, to bring along to a picnic tomorrow.
Where I work
Here’s a little corner of my workspace, ie: where I spend all my life :)
Highlights include a laser printer that’s so old it’s also a fax (shame there’s no landline to connect it to), my cassette player/radio from the ‘80s (still works), an I Heart NY mug I bought on my last trip to the US, and a bird’s nest fern I received as a KK gift nearly two years ago. What does your workspace look like? I would LOOOVE to see!
