Product Shots - We Are Messengers

Yesterday I took some product shots for the new X-Mas card range by We Are Messengers.

These cards are gorgeous, and I even got a tour of Tanya's workshop. 'Each card is silk screen printed using the finest acrylic inks on an FSC certified 70% recycled stock and each card comes with a 100% recycled Brown Kraft envelope.'

alloneword bar

Not a big fan of this new bar's name... but what's in a name? A lychee martini by any other name would still taste as sweet. I love this place because it hasn't been over-hyped, you would hardly know it was there. But trust your freinds when they tell you - it's great. Definitely my kind of place.

mishy updates

1. I haven't forgotten about the what inspires you project - please be patient as a create a little sumthin’ sumthin’ for you all. Thanks so much for all the wonderful people who participated. I really enjoyed getting sent your pretty little pictures.

2. So I am up to the part in the Pattie Boyd biography where her and George Harrison are breaking up. It's 1969 & she's falling for Eric Clapton. It's very intriguing. Yoko is also on the scene... what a strange, strange woman.

3. I will have more calendars and diaries early next week for everyone who missed out at the markets. Get your orders in early before they get snapped up on my etsy store.

4. For all you lovely people who read my blog I just wanted to share with you that I am no longer a married. Yes I was featured a lot for my wedding - in particular my handmade paper flowers, but now that is over. I am single. Happy. Free. Thank you to everyone who for your love and support. My family and friends have helped me feel strong, happy and inspired. No need to worry or feel sad for me. Just smile... and pass it on.

That's all for now. Back to work... have a great day! x

little jane st & my montague rd

Alarna from Little Jane St has her gorgeous cards and magnets (above) for sale at one of my local coffee spots - the Birds Nest Coffee and Collectables. It's a cute little hole in the wall that I recommend you visit. Maybe next time you are at GOMA, go for a wander just around the corner - Shop 2, 44 Montague Rd, South Brisbane - next to The Joint.

dead weather all mine

Just bought me some tickets to the Dead Weather gig at the Melbourne Forum in March. So far my first planned gig in Melbourne - VV is amazing - pretty *!#^! excited!

casiotone - for the not so alone

I was melting into a big pile of uninspired microsoft mush when Amy form Grey Grid Paper revived me – reminding me of the wonderful Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. Can't say I am painfully alone. Not at all really, but now I am inspired again. Cheers Amy!

wonderful tonight

I am reading Wonderful Today, the Autobiography of Pattie Boyd - photographer, former model, and rock-and-roll muse. These photos are of Pattie and her first husband George Harrison (#2 by Henry Grossman).

I haven’t yet gotten to the part where Pattie and George split, but I do know that she goes on to marry Eric Clapton. Imagine being the inspiration for some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Wow.

mishy loves melbourne

I'm back from my Melbourne weekend. I got to see some family, beautiful friends, the beaches of Torquay, Fitzroy shops, and even the burbs - aka Sanctuary Lakes.

So Melbourne... I think I love you. I'm back with Brisbane now to tell him the bad news. See you soon. xoxo

And thank you to everyone who has participated so far. I have really enjoyed reading all of your emails!!

What inspires you?

You often see what inspires me. So today I thought I would run a little project of what inspires YOU.

Please email an image to mishylane {at} gmail {dot} com at some stage of your day. It can be anything, and you do not have to explain your choice. Feel free to include a link to your blog or website and I will happily include that.

Ok. So send away!

waking up to a model

I'm doing a 6am photo-shoot tomorrow with a guy - DJ. He needs some updated shots for his modeling portfolio and it's one of the first male model-shoots I've done. So I thought I'd stay up and get some inspiration on how to create a stylish & intriguing shoot for DJ. Wish me luck... I'll post them over the weekend.

more melbourne

My melbourne polaroid post inspired the lovely Amy of grey grid paper blog to post some of her own melbourne photos. So cute! I especially love the one of 'Lance' and the babushka dolls!!! We are both flying down to our "happy place" next week and I'm sure we will have more photos to share on our return back to Brisnayland.
