Seymour + Love Fran plushies
During a bit of a general computer spring (or first time in a long time) clean, I uncovered a folder photographed and saved on my behalf, yet again by the ever conscientious Seymour, with these guys knocking about in it. They are probably at the ripe old age (in plushie years) of about 6 now. They were my first collaboration with Seymour, made for his first ever solo show back in New Zealand. Together his illustrations+my 5 meters of baby corduroy=seymourlovesfran. It was such a nice suprise after such a long time of not seeing Kung Fu Kitty and his crew, that I wanted to share them with you. xxx

Gocco Girls
My set of Gocco girls are (finally) finished, I had to patiently wait for some more screens and bulbs to be delivered to be able to print the 3rd little lady. It's a nice process and something I'll be doing again for sure, but here are the photos of Gocco attempt number one. Time for a wine. xxx

Aztec Girl
Tuesday! Vege market day, spent the day alternately drawing and googling recipes that I could make with my haul (yip, haul) that I collected from the markets today, the result being the illustration above, and a really weird tasting salad. xxx

Kitty Plushies
Another crew of misfit, heart shaped nose kitty plushies. These guys were so much fun to make, not only cause of the moustaches, pirate patches, feather headdresses, and kitty waistcoats but it was also my first go on fabric pens, which are generally fab, plus also super good for sleazy eyes. xxx

Bunting.
Some bunting lines I made out of all the sweetest fabrics ever. The ABC bunting was a gift for my nephew Charlie when he was born, then there is a snap of one of the red ones hanging in the window of the Red Door Gallery, and Milo and Otis (yes, really their names, and yes really best friends, perfect) adding a bit of colour to their beach bar/playhouse with a blue one. xxx
