Sliding into the Holidays

Much time has passed since my last offering here. I apologise for the long break, but it was time well spent, trust me. As I am writing this just before I leave for the airport to spend the Holidays in England, I need to be quite quick about it – so a list should do …

The final glorious week of camp – a warts and all account

Aaaand that’s a wrap! The 2018 Noctiluna Summer camps ended with a fun and bizarre week of shadow puppetry, film making, Toblerones, frustration, and a LOT of outdoor play. Want to hear more? I thought so. With only a couple of weeks to go until school starts, students were starting to wind down a bit …

What I Learned At Summer Camp – Part 1

Week 1 and 2 of my little art camp have flown by, and I’ve been meaning to blog about the experience, but to be honest, it has just been one task too much for me. My days have started at 6.00am and involved getting myself ready, getting my kids ready, getting four sets of lunches and …

Hitting Refresh

It has been waaaay too long since I last blogged, and here’s why: 1: I really haven’t felt like I have much to write about, and I just don’t do that whole ‘writing for the sake of writing’ stuff. It would bore you to death. 2: School is out, my delicious munchkins are home, and when …

Note to self: drawing by candle light sounds lovely and romantic, but is actually rather …

The Learning Curve

“Oh! I love these shirts, they are so vintage looking!! Said the young woman before scooping up a couple and buying them. Vintage looking?

Ink, Tea and Emergen-C

I just thought I would pop into the Blogosphere to say a quick hello. I have kept my head down, and my fingers inky over the last few days. A war is still waging in my kitchen between the dishes and the printing equipment, and it is starting to get messy. It has been another …

Small town splendor

I’m a city girl. I grew up in London, and spent my adolescence fantasizing about working in New York, Paris, or Tokyo, or maybe even Sydney. These fantasies made sense professionally as well, the aforementioned cities  being hotbeds of art, design, and general grooviness. Perfect places for a young designer to live and work in. …
