The Butter Factory Girl

I named her 'The Butter Factory Girl' simply because I found her at the Eumundi Butter Factory on one of my trips to my Dads in Noosa Heads. I immediately fell in love with it,and naturally had to have it.
My favourite treasure find and at a bargin price of $25. I made a rule when travelling the world as a backpacker, that if you see something and your heart sings out - 'BUY IT'.
6 months later my Dad drove to Melbourne with the Butter Factory Girl safely placed in his car.
I think of this print as my good luck charm.Since moving to the Bellarine Peninsula from Melbourne 8 years ago,she has always been with me,sitting on my walls.I'm amazed it has never been damaged with all my moves, as the glass it so old and fine.
I never tire of her as its soothing pastel tones and image give our home a feeling of tranquility.

My collection of Chanel brings a feeling of glamour. I never throw anything out.Old perfume bottles are a must.

French Flower Botanics

These pink roses are something that every bedroom craves, sitting so daintily on my bedside table.The print in the back ground is by artist P.T.Redoute.

Still a long way to go.

Sassy

Being a lover of large hats and long lashes, this girl is one of my favourites.She is drawn on tea stained butcher paper that piles up on my easel in my husbands office.I really want to finish her, but drawing hands is such a challenge for me. So she waits...
The image is taken from a mag that I came across and had to draw.
