Introducing Story Cards
Behind every artwork there is a story. This was really put into perspective for me while photographing the tea cups. Artworks conjure up different feelings to each person that looks at them, whether it be nostaliga, anger, love or just pleasure of looking at something. This is one of the reasons I love art, in all of its glory and controversy.
When people are looking at my photos or sketches they often ask me where photos were taken, what type of bird is pictured, what made me take a particular photo, so I thought it would be nice to make up some story cards for each of my photos. I've already made a few for people who have purchased prints through my Etsy store, and am aiming to do a little write up and small sketch for every photo I have available.
When someone purchases any of my photos online and at markets they will receive a little piece of the story with their artwork.

Winter flowers
Even though it's about 4 degrees here there's still a lot of colour in our garden!

Treasury Thursday
Over the weekend I was spotlighted for treasuries in one of the teams I joined. As I don't want to make you scroll through treasuries for the next two hours I thought I'd just pick my favourite three and list them here :)
Enjoy!

Party time!
If you haven't heard, MadeIt (handmade market place, like Etsy but for Australian sellers) have just updated their website. It has a lot of new features that make it cooler than it was before, like being able to purchase as a guest; no need to create an account, and discount coupons!
To celebrate they decided to have a launch party, and so we can all test out the coupons ;)
So this week (until Friday midnight) Tig's Garden on MadeIt will have 20% off everything with the discount code: MadeitParty20
MadeIt are also giving away a $100 MadeIt voucher to two people who purchase from a MadeIt shop during the celebration.

Treasury Thursday
I've been featured in a number of treasuries on Etsy in the last week and have started regularly making my own, so thought I'd do a treasury spotlight post every Thursday.
