I thought I'd post this weeks pieces a little early as it's Thursday night here and I know I'm going to have a crazy day tomorrow. We're just nearing the end of week 3 of our renovations and things are starting to take shape, will probably be another couple of weeks til we're back in and settled but the end is in sight. I finally received a delivery of new settings for some pendants and cannot wait to start making up some new pieces.
In the meantime this week I've been busy with making costumes for the kids for their book week parade. I think I had more fun making them than they did showing them off heheheh I think they had a good time though.
Riley (4) chose Koala Lou from his favourite book at the moment (An Aussie favourite) and Rhys (8) is Greg from 'The Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. He loves these books and is on number 3 right now in the series. I love it as it's something he's really keen to read!!!
Next up is this 'Vamp' from my journal of lovely ladies.
I wanted to do something a little darker and try to get a little edge to it. Perhaps next time I'll do a proper vampire or zombie? I have made a character called 'Zombie Mummy' that was fun but not quite edgey.
Lastly I just wanted to share this book mark that I will be uploading to etsy soon. I painted this picture a couple of years back but she is still one of my favourites. Here I used a print and laminated it then beaded it!!! :0) HOpe you've all had a great week and I look forward to catching up soon.

Hi Nicola,
love the masks, isn't great when kids get stuck into reading... you vamp lady is gorgeous and love the bookmark.... good luck with the renovations... :)
Ha! Love your kids' costumes. Quite cute. :) I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun. And your bookmark is cute. I keep thinking I'm going to try something new for my shop but it seems like now is just not the right time. I barely get any art done to begin with. :( Sigh. So, I'll just keep enjoying yours and everyeone else's. Hugs!
Happy early PPF. Loving the masks for the children, great fun and love your new lady. Have a great weekend, Annette x

What fun masks and what a great idea - a book week parade - don't remember my kids every having such a thing.
The vamp is gorgeous! Love the strong colours and her blue eyes.
What great costumes. My son had to go to school as a book character too - he went as The Old Saucepan Man from Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree stories. He clanged and clanked into school!!
The vamp is marvelous. Love the masks for the kids.
A book week parade sounds like lots of fun (and I'm sure their masks will be hits)!
Love the blue hair on your vamp - another great addition to your journal of lovely ladies :)
