One of those days...

When it's too hot for anything else. And I find myself so tired and not in the mood for anything at all. Not even for food. I just wish it was cooler and not 35 degrees here where I am. I feel horrible in such heat!

The coming week will see more of such crazy hot temperatures. I need to think of a plan quickly, before I get too heated in the sun and have all my mood for art totally burnt : (

As you can see, I'm really the sort who functions better in cold. Haha

Sneak peeks

I've been wanting to show you guys this for the longest of time! Here's my sneak peeks for the Sydney group show I'm involved in! I'm so excited because I will get to showcase my works along with some artist friends whose works I am in love with! And I am flying up to Sydney for it!

I love your work Dawn, it's so fresh and pretty!

My favourite forest experience was when my sister and I went camping on Stradbroke Island for her schoolies.
We caught the train out of Brisbane up the coast, caught the ferry to the island, then the bus to the camping ground. We found out camping spot and started unpacking the camping gear. "OMG there are only three tent pegs" I said. "Oh I only packed three, it's just extra weight", my sister said. "We can just use a stone". A STONE?!?
We woke up in the middle of the night we the tent around our faces and a big thunderstorm raging above. So we had to cuddle our sleeping bags together, in our flat tent, until the morning. And when we woke up there were beautiful blue skies, we could hear the ocean, and all the trees were so fresh and green from the rain.
Memorable yes! A fabulous memory of time spent with my sister.
Vive le camping!

Best road trip ever! Darren and I had so so so super much fun driving through the alpine region. We drove through so many small towns, falls, creeks, hills. Visited a berry farm, deer farm, lavender farm. Swam and soaked ourselves in a waterfall. Shared homemade cold pasta salad while sitting by a quiet lake. Climbed rocky hills to the top of Mt Buffalo, picked wildflowers and rocks. Jumped and sang songs from The Sound of Music, while running across lovely grassy clearing. We even pretended to be wizards from Harry Potter and picked twigs to cast Wingardium Leviosa spells just so we could take nicer jumping shots. We had so much fun!

Among all of the photos, I have 62 favourite photos! I know, that's a lot of favourites. Haha. But yes, if you'd like to see the other of my favourite shots, you could pop by my flickr. And if you would like to see the entire set ( as if 62 photos are still not enough! Haha) You could pop by here! Thanks for being so patient and waiting for photos! It was quite a tough job choosing which to upload. Haha : )

PS: This is my favourite out of all my favourite photos! : ) Taken when we were right at the top! Just dangling our feet out into the scary drop off!

Be back in a bit!

Just to let you know, I will be away the next three days! I can't wait to leave the city and head off to explore the wilderness! Falls, alps, and mountains here I come! I will be back super soon I promise!

In the meantime, have a great awesome weekend : )

See you in a jiffy!

Shop Update!

Yay! I just stocked my little shop with bits of new stuff! Do check them out!

You know, with framing and all, these little prints would make really nice christmas presents : ) I hope you like them and get yourself one!

Last Sunday

Darren brought me to Ceres Permaculture and bushfood nursery. There wasn't much going on that day but It was fun to just take a slow stroll around all the greenery. We found composting toilets, which I didn't dare enter. Having the thought of someone's poopy just a meter below your bum, with worms all around it just makes my hair stand. Haha. Apart from creepy crawly composting toilets, we found a mongolian tent. It was huge! And we saw chickens run around, some hydro-powered wind mill, garden patches, and lots of nice lovely green!

It was like a mini science lesson, quite fun actually. I'd love to go back there again!

Hope you guys are having a great Thursday!

PS: Off The Kerb Gallery opens every Thursday - Sunday, so it'll be a good time for you to check out my show before it's taken down next Friday! : )
