Old Buttons

I have a huge collection of old buttons and from time to time I am inspired to make things with them.

In the past I have made long necklaces of multicoloured buttons, but now I  am trying a different approach - all white with just a splash of colour.

Marshmallow Moon

I simply had to capture the wonderful sky yesterday evening.


It looks like the moon is wrapped in pink marshmallow.

Still Looking Up......

Not at rooflines this time but at overhead lighting.....




The first two are in Claremont Quarter.  The last one is in Attic, a new cafe in Bannister Street, Fremantle.

Hanging lights in groups is very effective.

Look Up

Whenever I am in Fremantle I look up at the tops of the old buildings, as they are often quite ornate and some have names written on them in wonderful old style lettering.

It usually means I end up walking straight past wherever I am supposed to be going as I forget to look at the shopfronts on street level.




The top one is my favourite as it is such big bold writing, and it is in red, which is unusual, as most writing on old buildings is either in black or white.

Rainbow!

I was so excited to see a rainbow when I was leaving for work this morning that I quickly took a photo.



Such a nice change from the endless blue sky.

The Letter L

I am really enjoying my alphabet series.  I will have to think of something else I can do as a series when I finally get to the end of the alphabet. 

This one was easy, so I tried to do things that were a bit unusual, rather than just doing, Leaf, Letterbox, Ladybird.

An Autumn's Day at Yallingup

Yallingup Beach on Sunday was more like a mediterranean resort than Down South on an Autumn's day.




But in fact it was a million times better than a mediterranean resort because the sand was clean, the water was sparkling and there were no annoying people trying to sell you things you didn't need!
