embroidered doll tattoo.

i just discovered this online. yanina viland asked me a while back if she could tattoo my picture for a client of hers. im still shocked that someone would get one of my pictures - let alone an embroidery - tattooed! its crazy. her tattoo is really nice i think she did a beautiful job.

outdoor cinema.

i just made this poster for stonnington. actually they had more info to put in last minute so it changed a fair bit as far as info + text goes but they wanted to be able to do that themselves. so this is my version! i did all of the text by hand with ink and a thin brush, i am really getting into doing handmade typography. my bf has this really great book called handjob: a catalog of type its great for anyone thinking of getting a new book.

daylesford road trip.

last weekend we went to daylesford in victoria to look for wild berries and mushrooms. we found so many of both, but our mushroom book was rubbish and we couldnt identify anything! so we collected a few and brought them home to look up on the internet. turns out most of them are deadly, woops!
we went to some berry farms and little fruit stops on the side of the road and got ourselves the most delicious homemade jam, honey, and apples.
