Copper and green

Loving this beautiful colour combo, this a lovely old copper flint box, I found at a market which has, in places turned green with age.... The wing is from a stick insect, really loved the green and especially how the end and edges are bright copper! Perfect...x 

I love Christmas...

Market prep in full swing...

Warrandyte Festival

Looking forward to this weekend ...my home town has a festival every year, always a fun - filled weekend of great music , food, activities, and market stalls! This year I'll be at the arts & craft market on Saturday, with all my goodies to show the good people of Warrandyte what I'm all about.! 

New workspace

Really enjoying my new workspace at home.; it's in a separate space from the house so I can spread it all out make a beautiful mess, leave it as us for the night and start up where I left off the next day! 

Lovely surprise ....

Found these lovelies in my letterbox on Tuesday morning, expecting to find some bills to pay but surprised to find a container full of beautiful butterflies from a great neighbor who works at the butterfly enclosure at the Melbourne Zoo. He collects them for me before the ants get to them for me to work with! Lucky I am! 

Busy with more tins ....

I've been busy making these little collections, using vintage tins. It's your own little Naturalist collection...X
