Hand Painted Necklaces

I painted these wooden disks to make necklaces..

Tiny Terrarium Necklaces

I have started to make these little treasures with a few rocks, some dirt, moss and a tiny mushroom!

Old Sailor

A water colour and pencil drawing..

Book Garden

A little succulent garden in a book! I cut a hole in the pages, lined it with plastic and added a few small plants and clay mushrooms..

New Terrarium

My new little favorite Terrarium that I made today!

Little Treasures

These are some of my Little Treasures that I have made over time.. Today I decided to cluster them all together for a photoshoot..

Terrariums!

My most recent love is making terrariums! whether they are tiny ones in candle holders or large ones with handmade clay hobbit homes and mushrooms..

Tea Cup Pot

I made this painted tea cup from paper mache, using this template - http://annwood.net/blog/2011/02/24/paper-mache-teacup-pattern/ .. I then coated the inside with plastic, put some rocks and charcoal in the bottom, then soil, plants and moss. I made the mushrooms from FIMO clay for a final touch!

Wonderland

More Water colour!

Mini Clay Pots

I made these tiny painted pots from air drying clay, and the hand tied nets from twine or ribbon.. Perfect for small succulents!

Portraits

Watercolour and pencil..

Hand Made Tree

So I made this out of a small branch with a variety of scrap papers for the leaves and bird cages. The small rocks at the bottom are covered in fabric scraps, and all of it is assembled into a little glass candle holder!

Silhouette Series

More playing around with water colour and ink..

Illustrations - Hair Series

These paintings were created for my High School Certificate in 2011, when I first began to experiment with water colour and ink..
