Battling with a portrait.......I'm almost winning however. Once you start on the oil paints again after a wee break you soon become too hooked on that wonderful smell and buttery texture to stop to do anything else........I'm afraid painting is a bit of an addiction as it is where I started straight after high school quite some time ago now.<br /><br />Anyway.....I went to the also addictive Distracted Merchants of Fancy in Leederville (again) today and bought some beautiful vessels by Bison and Dibbern. Are they not the most beautiful things? If you haven't popped into the Distracted shop, which houses a tea shop, art shop and hair shop and waxing shop all in one you really must. They are purveyors of the most eclectic and beautiful objects.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-SzJD9XiqD-O-_Js5PlRPKnXB4JrJ8kv3ENvZqkzpEMjGvzajYIfLuqREG1yDruPm65HcYZ2Sv_a4nrq41x-34KYqykvFqOXADhRA3ovAJDzNeK5RiNi4tj-WeGG06oCXmuMb89twMuBm/s1600-h/IMG_3756.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-SzJD9XiqD-O-_Js5PlRPKnXB4JrJ8kv3ENvZqkzpEMjGvzajYIfLuqREG1yDruPm65HcYZ2Sv_a4nrq41x-34KYqykvFqOXADhRA3ovAJDzNeK5RiNi4tj-WeGG06oCXmuMb89twMuBm/s400/IMG_3756.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218740506771066690" border="0" /></a>Rubbergobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01619175961755971874noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425781348040672107.post-43504057289952825322008-07-01T04:47:00.000-07:002008-12-12T12:39:25.655-08:00Natural InspirationI have done a couple of posts about my garden, well not really about my garden but just to show where some of the inspiration for our designs comes from.

At the moment I seem to have too many ideas and not enough hands to do them all, though I presume I am not alone in this. The more I try to finalise the notebooks the more ideas I have so as usuall we will probably print as many as we can. They will have heir first outing at <a href="http://www.perthupmarket.com.au/home.html">Upmarket</a> that I mentioned in a previous post. Thank you again to Justine for inviting us and be sure to keep an eye out on her <a href="http://www.perthupmarket.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> for the interviews and other exciting news.<br /><br />Here's a sneak of the notebooks we are hoping to have with us, come complete with cool little paper band, no plastic this time we are trying hard to be better to our world.

It is a design we used for our Limited Edition Cards. You can click on this image to view the full size version which you are free to download and make your own envelope.<br /><br />The only thing we ask is that you don't resell them or use the design for something else. you could even make a fabric envelope and patchwork the design onto the front, if you do this i would love to see it and you obviously have way too much time on your hands.<br /><br />Today I'm busy trying to finalise quotes and production times for our notebooks, if only everyone else was on my timeframe! Here is a sneak peak at a couple of the designs, thoe of you who know me will know I have a serious notebook fetish, in fact I have too many and am constantly forgetting which one I wrote those important design job notes in................<br />so this is the book laid out flat featuring the Boobook owl or I might now call it the BookBook owl!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplr_MkhAWs-2spZffXZvnmdJQdRka-hgHbtLHHGl7b07j0Mnk_hfpvqAjKo6eO8a5ZztLK12hjTNxroBAAsB_qklUWLxUiOkYCkpyVeKzMXcvdIXB-FRfIw9JL5gMv8blELjgjLtA_gUv/s1600-h/A5bird_4_resize.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplr_MkhAWs-2spZffXZvnmdJQdRka-hgHbtLHHGl7b07j0Mnk_hfpvqAjKo6eO8a5ZztLK12hjTNxroBAAsB_qklUWLxUiOkYCkpyVeKzMXcvdIXB-FRfIw9JL5gMv8blELjgjLtA_gUv/s320/A5bird_4_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213047609288816626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Right back to chasing printers.........keep an eye out for the next giveaway.

Today I was sent a couple of great links by the lovely lass at <a href="http://www.upmarket.internetbasedfamily.com/home.html">Upmarket </a>that I would like to share. Before I start be sure to put Upmarket in your diary, it's great to see so many makers markets coming up.<br /><br />Firstly <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome">Spoonflower </a>for those who have always wanted to print their own fabric, well that's me for a start. I have been tinkering with putting some of my favourite Rubbergob designs onto all sorts of fabric kit for a while now and should hopefully have some exciting stuff to share in the coming months.<br /><br />Then there is <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2008/06/designing-fabric.html">How About Orange</a> by Graphic/Fabric pattern designer Jessica Jones, this one contains a tutorial on creating a repeating pattern.<br /><br />Here in Aus there is the oh so super <a href="http://www.cheekybeaks.blogspot.com/">Kristen Doran</a>, I love the simplicity of design and type of fabric she uses.<br /><br />Well I could go on but I better save something for tomorrow, I'm not doing too badly with my everyday blogging..........ooh and look out for us on <a href="http://printpattern.blogspot.com/">PrintPattern</a> or did I say that yesterday. For those of you that haven't caught this blog it's a must for people into surface design, stationary, illustrators and printed stuff!<br />Hapy clickingRubbergobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01619175961755971874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425781348040672107.post-50798788740013168532008-06-15T21:58:00.000-07:002008-12-12T12:39:32.122-08:00Promise to be betterOK, I'm the first to admit it, It's been a while but it's not like we haven't been busy.<br />So from here on in I am trying to post everyday I may need all the support, love and attention I can get to keep me going. It will be a bit about new stuff I've been designing and a bit about the great talent that inspires me though I'm going to try and keep it local for a while.<br /><br />So here goes, it's all about me today: We had our first professional photo shoot woo hoo and being glamorous is rather long and boring I have to say well the cards and tags and invites said so I was busy trying to quell their tantrums and keep them looking sexy for 2 hours.<br /><br />Here's a couple of the new babies on fake grass<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JQfkW0iGIuWRfQ7LOrpKxKLH7UVp_AWI5D3DXkg-8b412fKho5Gm8UOAPvdhrT4dAtMaNEGRahdRZO5saRd3VBRGjZty9H39S4pmMFCAcTxn3MBvDhdTtA4dTRdD2hprvtmCvG9ajeOO/s1600-h/blah_237.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JQfkW0iGIuWRfQ7LOrpKxKLH7UVp_AWI5D3DXkg-8b412fKho5Gm8UOAPvdhrT4dAtMaNEGRahdRZO5saRd3VBRGjZty9H39S4pmMFCAcTxn3MBvDhdTtA4dTRdD2hprvtmCvG9ajeOO/s320/blah_237.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212343060785931906" border="0" /></a><br />This the original blah in a different colour theme, thank you to Kylie at <a href="http://www.morrisonshop.com/">Morrison</a> for the inspiration there.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOh2YxaXyiNIdq3PgywSvriP1k410jAv6nVDcKVikj2p1HIOG3a2Zra1NpZSlIMtFO3dRZrl2wkJ_BJfZpw8HhqxZ7qrS7VB8TgYJOz_C1XBxsiF-VKR12pfMAQB4HLiM2Jq_uUdrjbgPd/s1600-h/woodowls_120_237.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOh2YxaXyiNIdq3PgywSvriP1k410jAv6nVDcKVikj2p1HIOG3a2Zra1NpZSlIMtFO3dRZrl2wkJ_BJfZpw8HhqxZ7qrS7VB8TgYJOz_C1XBxsiF-VKR12pfMAQB4HLiM2Jq_uUdrjbgPd/s320/woodowls_120_237.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212343052887965570" border="0" /></a><br />And one of the tags, the australian snowflake eating reindeer bird!

I realise looking at our designs the amount of people that they are actually designed around, friends children, friends, other creative types. I will do my best to tell the story around each one as it comes up.<br /><br />See you tomorrow as promised!Rubbergobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01619175961755971874noreply@blogger.com1
