Kirribilli Markets: Saturday 23 July

So my first market stall selling bags was on today.

And right on cue the heavens opened and rained and rained and rained.

Please come back and visit on 14 August.  I will be there rain, hail or sunshine...

new Mango Frooty avatar designs

I'm waiting for him indoors to scan the latest set of paintings so thought I'd share a few avatars designed by Emma Harris for Mango Frooty.

I love the way she has lifted the little flower detail from the Mango Frooty label to use in her designs.

Genius.

Mango Frooty banners

It's been a long week.

I've caught the lurgy from him indoors and haven't gotten round to photographing and posting this week's creative offerings...

so I thought I'd share my niece Emma's lovely Mango Frooty banner concepts.

Which one is your favourite?

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Birchgrove markets

Birchgrove markets on Saturday was a good day. Not a huge amount of sales but spent the day with my good friend Aylie.

Aylie does illustration work - some of it is here.

I really need to work on my presentation - any tips comments gratefully received.

mango frooty is born

So where is all this leading? You may be wondering.

I'm working up to a new label. I've been making jewellery for 8 years and paintings etc for the last 25 and thought it's about time to try and do it properly. I'm still working on how to do it. I mean, how do you show things that you might only ever see once?

Of course it's not going to happen over night. Gently does it.

Here is a sample of the jewellery packaging and label. I use saris and sarongs lined with silk to make the bags. I painted the label image using the Indian mango motif - you may have seen it in paisley fabrics and saris. And of course there's a lot of pink.
