Speaking of favourite things....

Wedgwood plates with gilt decoration, a
 Royal Doulton plate along with engraved
port glasses and a comport are turned into a unituqe
cake stand suitable for high tea or to be
as a jewellery display

Many of my most treasured and favourite things are repurposed antiques or vintage items.  I love to see pieces having a second, third, or even fourth life.  Even a humble teacup or a single glass comport can be turned into a candle holder or used as a tier of a cake stand and can be appreciated over and over again.

I create bespoke collages using vintage postcards, costume jewellery pieces, modern adornments and vintage prints and ephemera.

 

I also love to use antiques and vintage pieces of jewellery to decorate preloved photo and picture frames.  There is no end to the types of frames to be created or the themes to be selected to turn what would be an ordinary type of frame into a piece that is fitting for the display or your treasured memories. 

When it comes to ‘real’ or ‘true’ art, one of my favourite contemporary artists is Mike Banks. He is a Brisbane artist and illustrator, painter of original contemporary abstract art. View his work at www.banx.com.au
