My creative space...

This week my creative space feels a lot like I'm walking round and round in circles....Doing a little bit of everything at once. That's just how it rolls sometimes.

I began the day doing undercoats of paint for some more art bangles.

Whilst they dried I glued the frames onto the art brooches I began last night....

and while they dried I varnished some beautiful birds.....

Of-course that left me with more spare time whilst things dried, so I worked on heat setting my pussy cats....

sewing on buttons to finish some tee's...

and lastly making some bows as fun brooches to go with my even newer tee's...

Doing lots of little bits to work toward lots of finished pieces real soon.....

Doing my laps from study, to kitchen, to study I kept passing the mirror and admiring my new dress in the reflection so I just had to take a pic of that too.
Made By Mim at Olive Grove studios. Lovin it!
(note to self, clean mirror next time before taking pics....)

See heaps more creative spaces over here....

Puuuuurrrrrrfect tops........

On the drawing board this week are some new screen printed tee's.

This time, some putty tats.....Meow!

I do love my stripes, so have chosen a classic black and white to go with the retro inspired cat silhouette. They look fab with a fun flared skirt (working on them too) and my fave bright cardi.

I 'll have them ready for the weekend just in time for our Olive Grove Garage sale.
Of course they won't be one of the items marked down, but there will be plenty of Finki goodness on special....and if you print this flyer to bring in on the day, you will get 10% off all my new season stuff.

Might see you there, Jay xx

A button or two from buttonsbyloulou........

How insanely cute, are my new button rings.

I finally got some of buttonsbyloulou's fab little creations all of my own.

Luckily enough friends and family were given bobbies, bookmarks and hair ties that I bought from this fabulous Aussie seller at xmas, and I tell yah..................it was sooooo hard to give them away and not keep them all for myself.

So when I saw Louise had updated her blog with a picture of all her new rings, I knew I had to have some. My hair's not really long enough for ponytails, and it's too thin to do any justice to bobbies, so rings were perfect.

I'm a cat lover and have such a bird thing too. I don't have birds, but love the sense of freedom, fun and frivolity they portray. So the cat and bird designs available were a first choice.But then I saw this quirky little house print, and low and behold it has already become my favourite ring to wear.

From babushkas, and spots, to robots and trucks, you'll absolutely love the world of button accessories on offer at buttonsbyloulou and at such affordable prices you'll always be tempted to go back for more.
