Day 36: Great Hornbill This is my second ever hornbill – I already like it a lot more than the last one. I like the layers I’ve been doing on the wings of the bird – even if it’s not…
Summer Art Project: Week 7
Day 31: White collared kingfisher This kingfisher is another one that I saw frequently growing up in Singapore. It seemed like whenever I went outside, I could find one. This, like most of the birds I’ve done, reminds me strongly…
Summer Art Project: Week 6
Day 26: Snake I have come to realise that pretty much all of the collages that I’ve done so far are connected to my childhood, or connected to my travels – and all of them connect to nature (except for…
Summer Art Project: Week 5
Day 21: Rhinoceros Hornbill This is called a Rhinoceros Hornbill – a bird found in many parts of South East Asia, and again a bird that I saw growing up quite a lot. They’re big, impressive birds, with these very…
Summer Art Project: Week 4

Summer Art Project: Week 3
Day 11: Purple Heron Another bird here – as with the others, I’m not totally satisfied with the bird. Purple herons are a type of shore bird I used to see all the time along the canals in Singapore. Even…
Summer Art Project: Week 2
Day 6: Giant Pitta This is a bird that has a strong personal connection to me. Even though I’ve never seen one in person, when I was younger my family spent many days out in the jungles of South East…
Summer Project: Creating Collages
I have given myself a challenge to create a collage every weekday in the summer months of July and August! I’ve never collaged anything in my life, this is a totally different medium for me, and I had great fun…
Crochet Projects
Lately I have been creatively stuck. I have been seeking out creative projects as a distraction tool, to distract me from certain things going on in my life right now. But also, I want more creativity in my life. Right…
Moments in Nature
I came across this little animal trail while out on a walk the other day – it was off the main trail and I just ducked in here for a second, but it was so quiet and beautiful that I…
Overcoming Travel Anxiety in 2022
When I finally got around to doing my 2022 review, I realise how much of a roller coaster this year had been. War was raged on Ukraine, a country that is essentially next door to us, the economic situation got…
My Geography
This is a visual of where I’ve lived, which explains why I don’t really know how to answer the question ‘where are you from?’
