26/11/2021

As you know Chris and I have been travelling around Australia in a bus for a long while now. 🚌

So to begin our plan to offset carbon emissions for every sale we make at our store we are donating at least one tree to be planted in Aus. 🌴

At our 11th November market we made 20 sales - at yesterday's market we made 21 sales 📊

So today we have made a donation to have 41 trees planted ✔️

Some are being planted across the NSW bushfire site and some to restore rainforest in the Daintree (a beautiful place we visited recently). 🌰

Our tree count is at 41 so far and we look forward to growing that 👍😊

If you are wanting to donate for tree planting too here's the providers we went with however there are so many options:

Introducing our Classic and (swipe) Grand Ocean boards. 🌊

The Grand size is new, because we felt a larger grazing board was needed for big events! 🎉

Both sizes are great for having on display in the kitchen to bring some ocean views home 🤙

Boards are available to purchase through DM on Instagram (Australia wide). Or at the Scarborough sunset markets 🌅

Please note, we are not trading tonight, we are trading next week!

I thought we were on tonight but I misread my dates 🙈 serioudly sorry guys 😓❤️

Been working hard all week and have so much stock only to realise we aren't on till the 25th... 😅

The water in North WA looking like diamonds 💫 oh to own a boat!

In our happy place! 😊

We have both been flat out working and preparing for the markets this week.

Each week we try to have something new ready but it always takes longer than you expect it to 😫😂

This week we have a few new surprise goodies though 😏😏

Markets Scarborough tomorrow night! 🌆

For one and half years we have travelled Australia by road and we have just arrived back in Perth! 🚌

Very excited to announce we are BACK and I will be trading art goods and other surprises, this Thursday (and every Thursday) at the Scarborough Sunset markets. 🌊

Travelling Australia has changed me and naturally my art a lot. It's hard to pin point when or how but when I look back everything is completely different now. 👣

Hence why this account is getting a change of name and change of style. 💞

But don't worry, I still love making ocean resin boards and there are LOADS of those for sale every Thursday, we are just starting to branch into selling our photography and digital art too. 😊

So we will be showcasing that on this account too, with my usual resin art and more! 😍

You will see these changes in the coming weeks. Stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions or things you want to see here! 🥳

🌼 Market Season 🌼

Now is preparation time for the Christmas rush (market season)!

I learned that the hard way last year. When I had orders for 80+ artworks in one month and we had a scorching heat wave so my art wouldn't cure (dry) normally. I had to rise at 4am every morning and work at midnight, just to have any success with my usual techniques. 😭

But it was all worth it in the end 🥰
So much easier to prep everything in Australia's winter!

So I'm am just getting my stock in now to make new goodies 👌

I'll pop some on my story today 🙌

One of my all time faves! *Sold*
"Ningaloo"

Use posca markers for this effect guys. They are excellent!

Anyone ever feel like they are swimming in unfinished awesome projects? Cause that's me. Love them half finished, but man I need to complete them.

New work release alert 😊 "Scales" can you guess where it got that name from?

What do you think of this style?

This is thiiiiick oil paint on canvas board framed, with no glass so you can touch the dry oil paint.

I completely made it all up, which was fun!

I like the abstract style thickly applied oil paint makes! 💦
