The Terra Cotta Reserve is a pretty significant place to us; we were hiking in the reserve when I first thought that it would be great to use actual leaves and flowers in jewelry, we’ve done tons of great photography there, and Tito and I will even be doing our wedding photos there. Terra Cotta…

Our home is filling up with yarn for Friday’s Etsy update =D Here is a sneak peek of a few more of the colours I’ve prepared! This time I wanted to do a few shots that were all centred around a roadtrip that Tito and I took through North Ontario a few years ago. We…

Thank you everyone for the positive response to my ‘yarn based on photos’ project. I am happy to announce that I may have found a good yarn supplier, and if I like the base then I’ll be aiming to have some short runs for sale soon! In the meantime, I’ve selected some photos for my…

Whenever we show in Niagara-on-the-lake we get to stay at our friend Kim’s place, aka the Gryphon Ridge Highland Cattle Farm. It’s always a treat for us city mice, and I sleep far better at Kim’s then I do at home. The crickets at night and the rooster in the morning sure beat the sound…

On Saturday night I caught this beauty rising over the lake – a perfectly timed blood moon is such a lucky shot! Sunday I caught this lovely angle. Sadly, not such a rare occurrence around here. Sunday was also the day that I finished our latest batch of sterling silver, bought the table, chairs and tent for…

Yesterday we went out to do a little shooting for a table banner we could use at the festivals this summer. I wanted something that showcased the spectrum of materials, and flowers that we worked with. We took a bunch of our pieces and laid them out on a dark, distressed wood background: Though it’s…

I love spring for lots of reasons; the temperatures are comfortable, the novelty of nice weather is fresh, the nights are still cool enough for knitted shawls and scarves. Most of all though, spring is a time of great inspiration for my work because so many beautiful flowers are in bloom. When we did our marketing shoot, I…
