Art Dump

Here is an art dump.
So here's a fact for those who aren't Australian (or those who are but still don't know this.)
The flowers this budgie is sitting in are the state floral emblems of Australia.
  • New South Wales     Waratah
  • Victoria      Common Heath
  • Queensland     Cooktown Orchid
  • South Australia      Sturt's Desert Pea
  • Northen Territory      Sturt's Destert Rose
  • Western Australia      Mangles Kangaroo Paw
  • Tasmania      Tasmanian Blue Gum
  • Australian Capital Territory       Royal Bluebell
I may have a slight toucan obsession at the moment.

Here are some older drawings.





Chat with me! Which is your favourite? Anyone else think toucans are adorable?

She held it up for Willow to see. A simple round Obsidian stone hung from the silver chain. "This is a very special stone." Alicia explained as the stone twirled around though the air. "And I want you to look after it. But you must never show it to your Aunt or let her take it." Alicia dropped it into Willow's hand. "I won't." Willow replied staring at the stone. "Alicia!"

Well, Hello Again!

Almost a year to the day since I wrote a "Return" post, I emerge from the mushy mud that is my part of Australia currently. I just want to ramble a bit about me, my blog, my art and my writing (not in that order, because - rambling over here) Blog-ness For years I wanted to blog and write, like all the amazing people whose blogs I read.

Even with that there I never posted much here, I want to try and change that though. No, I won't be regular (I am NOT that kind of person) Yes, it'll still be chaotic and messy. But the point is we're gonna roll with it 😉 Me  Now me. I've changed my 'About' fairly often to try and keep up with
