Another World Recordings

I've been busy photographing my work for the site lately,

including extracts from my visual diaries and workbooks.

There's a lot to wade through; I've filled nearly 50 journals 

in the last 15 years... of course, not all of it's note-worthy.

The site is under construction but there are some pics up 

if you would like to see a bit more of my artwork ↓

Today I found this tool. It was developed by Red Row Studio. It allows all those wonderful treasuries to be shared on your blog (and readers can click straight through to each listing too!) 

You can read more about the tool here.

It's quick and simple to use... give it whirl!

How fantastic is this photo shoot that 

Steven Meisel shot for Vogue Italia?!

These images have been kicking around on my computer

for a while now, thought it was about time to share them.

Sorry, not so sure about the original link or issue details.

If anyone else knows, please fill me in.

Our little lovebird

Yesterday was a very sad day at our house. Our beautiful blue harlequin budgie Loco died. We buried him in the garden 

outside Ari's window beneath some yellow daisies.

 Ari told me that he thinks Loco is a little angel bird now and so he wanted to lay Loco where Loco's spirit could peer in at his bedroom window and watch him playing... read more 


Loco loved listening to the music on this clip ↓
he would sing along quite merrily...

A Day At The Show

I took a self portrait in front of the bathroom mirror with 

last year's dolly purchase, before we headed to the show.

One of my favourite brooches, a gift from my lovely friend Nat. 

The image on it is from 'Waiting for Goddess' by Destiny Deacon.

The sweet little lucky number bangles are by yours truly

and will (hopefully) be available in  my shop soon!

Mmmm... cotton candy. Yum!

I simply couldn't resist bringing this darling little 

polka dot skirted kewpie dolly home with me... 

Ari and I had fun in the Magic Circus Funhouse.

What a lovely time we all had at this year's Show!
