Walls...

So this little guy joined the ranks of my wall at the weekend... Another tick on my checklist of mini creative projects, this being the most minimal. Although, hanging wall art is definitely an art form in itself! On another note, I have been doing a few more stretching creative tasks, but I'm keeping them on the down low for the moment whilst they're still in the test stages (deets and possibly photos to follow some time or other). I can tell you, however, that I am absolutely loving dedicating some time just to letting my ideas run wild (outside of my head). A definite must for those big thinkers out there...

Beasts Of The Southern Wild...

An unbelievably beautifully shot tale of a father and daughter living their lives in The Bathtub, an abandoned, waterlogged area in Louisiana, where community is rife. The film starts with a dazzling array of lights, laughter, fun and dancing - an annual festival to warn off the looming storms. Hushpuppy, the daughter, is a feisty but courageous character who takes a strong grip on life, learning from her father, Wink, about the world of survival. 

If you get the chance to watch this movie, definitely do! It may be a little premature, but I'd almost go as far to say that this could be my favourite film of 2013 (and we're only in February!!!) Enjoy...

Vogue-made...

I completed my first official creative side project at the weekend. It was probably the most simple, 'big' project I've done in a while. But it felt good to have made this little bedside table number from an old collection of Vogues that I have kept over the years.

So how did it come about I hear you ask... A month or so ago I was at an event where we had some stools made from books, hence the inspiration. But the idea developed when thinking about how I needed a bedside table. To which I noticed my large stash of Vogue magazines in the corner of my room, sitting, waiting to be delved into again. Putting two and two together, the Vogue-made bedside table was being built (in my head). It took a while to get going with collecting all of the parts and putting aside time to piece it all together. But, I did it! 

Here's to many more exciting projects that I have building up in my head. Soon friends, they'll be making an appearance into reality...

p.s. I've had a lot of requests already to make people their own mag-table, but unfortunately I'm going to have to decline but instead perhaps I've inspired you to make one all by yourself and feel the satisfaction of getting creative!!!

Walking the walk... Talking the talk...

So here's to the start of the second month of the year! It's whizzing by ever so quickly already. I challenged myself in the new year to set creative tasks. However busy I may get, I'll always have a little creative something something on the side. One of those, the more simple of them all, my wordy photos.

This months one, titled "Walking the walk. Talking the talk." is about my decision for actively doing what I'm constantly thinking and talking about. I have a real heart for trying to do good, through being kind, making people smile, but also choosing to buy and support companies that in their own spheres are actively stepping outside of the box and being champions for those around the world who are in need!

Remember folks, actions really do speak louder...
