So I am totally going to need glasses by the end of the year, my eyes are so tired after these...this problem is not stopping me from watching a Project Runway marathon of season 10 (I think).

Luggage means travel. When I see these old suitcases I just imagine the things they've seen and the places they've gone. Who owned them so many years ago? Who owns them now? Would the original owners be happy we have discovered new ways to upcycle these little wonders, truth be known they probably couldn't care… Continue reading Let’s Go On A Little Vacation!
Meet Terra and Luna. Together they truly are awesome, without one the other can't exist. I've just watched a fantastic doco on the Galapagos Islands with David Attenborough narrating. I'm only half way through but it's one of the best docos I have seen in recent times. His narrating just enhances the quality of this production. What an… Continue reading Terra and Luna

He moves… Continue reading Heart of the Steam Machine

My take on an illustration that I have seen recently on Pinterest. (The original is by Felicia Atanasiu, who does such wonderful work!) Cowardly Lion: Courage! What makes a king out of a slave?
