David Dallas


Sometimes you get your creative buzz from the least likely places. But I love nights spent listening to David Dallas and making LiTtle Things.

Like losing little buddies

Sold out of my Tiny Dolls on Saturday. And even though my number one fear in life is being sentimental about my own sentimentality, it's sad to see them all gone. When you've put so much time and love into making something. Well, hope those kids are gonna love them like I did. Time to create some NEWSTUFFYAY!

Cleaning Castings

Putting it all together

This is the state my working spaces get into when I am up to my earlobes in ideas. I've been thinking a lot about creativity lately and what defines it. Is art a craft? Is developing your craft an art? The line seems blurred but I don't think a clear definition is always needed when it comes to creativity. But we do need structure and rules to work within and to break. Making a mess is not art, really. True art is challenging; to its audience, to its creator, it challenges itself and the world. I love making a mess when I am creating but I love cleaning up when I am done.

painting

Woke up thinking about painting today. Then it was the very first thing I did; sometimes living simply can seem to give the most pleasure on a sunny day, or a rainy one. I then went on to spend the rest of the day painting the walls of a new creative space and, on the bus home, trying to look all serious as bus goers do, noticed I had white paint all through my hair. And if you think that might have annoyed me, you are very much mistaken.


"Living a creative life means losing the fear of being wrong."

I really despise cute, crafty things. Hmm......

Producing Craft

Spent the day at the Titirangi Mother's craft market today. It's odd to reflect on some much craft in one room. Why are we inclined to make these things. I never question or doubt the impulse and desire to create: it just feels so RIGHT and so real to me. But then I catch myself wondering whether the other things I get up to in life are as worthy of my time. Reading for example always seems to take the back foot and is something I do 'when I have the time to' whereas creating and pursuing creative ideas is a process so fundamentally part of me, I don't question it, and nor would I ever WANT to. However, it's all got me wondering why this desire is so intense and empowering; when I make stuff I am energized and excited about life, but am I really making a difference, or just a stock-pile of material goods?

To be a Jeweller

Sometimes I think I want to be a jeweller, I want to be defined as one and do it all the time. I currently have a piece entered in the Royal New Zealand Jewellery Showcase; finalists announced tomorrow morning but who knows what might happen. This week I am getting back into some sterling silver castings so WATCH THIS SPACE as there will soon be some really lovely silver rings and necklaces up on this very BLOG.

Would love the likes

Crafternoon Tea

Here are the goodies I had at Crafternoon Tea. I have been super busy being super busy these last two-ish weeks so haven't had the time to get up to much making but I am very keen to try out a couple of new ideas so watch this space!

At Crafternoon tea market all day Saturday, slow slow. No-one seems too keen on cute crafts through these tough winter months. Maybe it's survival instinct kicking in

Getting really into my crochet mouse making this week! Gonna be at Crafternoontea this Saturday, would be swell to see ya'll there. Hoping to die some wool soon too. Hopefully have some cool new pics for your viewing pleasure soon
