Family Holidays - YAY Moonpie and My sister came to visit!

Moon Pie and Me chilling on the bed, he was stoked he got to play with aunties phone

Pullling Silly Faces for the camera, We tend to go a little crazy when we see each other!

Happy Easter!

This is the Pavlova I decorated in easter theme! I cracked open a hollow chocolate egg, and dolloped whipped cream and then some passionfruit in there to resemble a cracked egg.

New Tattoo - The Mad Hatter

So I went with my cousins to the Sydney Tattoo expo. There was more clean skins there then I had expected, I went presuming there was an abundance of bikkies, druggies and housos. Yes that was stereotypical of me but that is how i perceived a tattoo expo.

I had had this tattoo planned for so long I cant remember when I first started thinking about it. What the mad hatter means to me; Im a little crazy sometimes, but I'm passionate about what I do and want. He's hate also states, "InStyle 10/6" which funnily enough is my birthdate!

Artist was Jamie Sunday from Collective Ink Tattoo in Redbank Queensland. He was also the nicest tattooist there, he had open booking for the Sunday, and most other tattooist looked at what we wanted and just said "no". Patiently waiting! My cousins were behind the camera for most of these shots.

Preperation; applying the image and getting ready for the fun to begin!

In the beginning, Jamie starting the outlining of the mad hatter.

Outline done, this is about 45mins in to it, they say the outline is the most painful part of it.

Now to start on the shading. This poor artist sat like this for more then 1 1/2 hours!

All Done! What do you think? I think he is very very me! I need to get my nails done! This picture is a great reminder of that.

Another working progress - Competition Piece

From all the vintage cabochons I have created lately. This has to be one of my favourite ones. Teaming it with Miyuki seed beads and Maria George 3mm pearls, I have so much work to do on this as it will be for the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2014 entry. This is all you will get to see of this piece unfortunately till its completed.
