What I've been up to...

Above is a drawing I did of two sisters over the weekend. It's called Sisters II because I already have a Sisters I as you may or may not recall. I've actually realised that I have a thing for drawing two gals together and that I have well over five "two gals together" prints in my shop now! I think I like the idea of sisters or best friends, compadres if you like. ...and these two gals are in my shop!

 

Also on the weekend, I went to The Museum of Sydney to check out the Martin Sharp retrospective exhibition. Sharp is a famous Sydney pop artist but more on him later - he deserves an entire post to himself - I'm thinking later in the week with any chance! However, I went to the shop at the museum and found some choice Sydney Harbour Bridge painting and lithograph postcards! Yippee because I collect postcards and images from the '30s of the bridge! Here above Sydney Bridge Celebrations 1932 by Adrian Feint, a front cover illustration of The Sydney Mail 1930 by 'F.W' and Building the Bridge by Ralph Emmerson Curtis 1933.

...and I've been thoroughly enjoying wearing the two delightfully pretty rings by Christina of Etsy shop Down and Out Chic (this is her gorgeous blog) seen here above on the right being modelled by Clyde that naughty rabbit. On the left Clyde is modelling a sweet pair of earrings handmade by Gabbi of beautiful blog Felinofelice! I feel very lucky indeed to have these in my earring collection - thank you so much Gabbi!

Hope everyone is having a lovely week!

Lovely postcards of the bridge and I love the rabbit modelled jewellery! Those sisters look as if they are plotting!
That's fun that you had the same wild looking moon on Sunday. I love those windy cloudy moonlit nights. Have a lovely week too!

I always love it when Rabbits turn their ears to modelling.

I love the sisters, they're definately going to be on part of my next purchases!

While I'm glad the cool change came through last night, I wish it would be at least sunny today. It's a bit depressing. Ah well.

Dear Sam,
Lovely the new piece of artwork! Eventhough you have portayed two gals together before they all have their very own personality! I especially like the fuzzy little detail on the hair!

wooohooo!! I love your models for Christina's and Gabbi's jewelry!! they wear it FABULOUSLY! ;)

[Rebecca]

Your new sisters drawing is adorable! I can see why you have so many prints of pairs - it adds extra interest, another person to look at! Photos are the same to me, a bit more interesting when there's more than one person. :)

[Tracy]

Beautiful new print Sam! I like those postcards you picked up and looking forward to hearing more about the Martin Sharp exhibit. He's the Mambo guy right? And the one from that band that I've momentarily forgotten the name of...?

Very sweet rings and earrings there! Lucky you!

[Gabbi♥]

I love your new sisters illustration dear Sam! Such wonderful expressions and style... I also very much wish my hair looked just like the one in pink!! :^)

Also, thank you so much for posting on the earrings!!♥ Deeply honored to see them in a photograph with that charming Mr. Clyde and next to Chistina's gorgeous ring.

Lots of Love and thanks dear Sam!!♥♥
