Owl Collage

I saw this red frame in a shop window and felt the urge to do a collage in it.  So here it is and if you like it you can get it here!

Lots of new Satchel Bags in the shop now!!

New art in shop

I have been doing a few canvasses to bring some new and different art to our shop - here are some pics of some recent ones.  The landscape is called 'Looking to Facing Island' and all these are in the shop.  The Kokeshi Doll canvasses and a mixture of painting and collage and were a lot of fun to do.  I will soon have some of these Kokeshi dolls on paper in shadowboxes.  These are very cute for a little girl's room...

I also have quite a few things on sale in my online shop, Click here if you would like to see what's on special.  These items are on sale online only.

Hi there! I have updated my blogsite with some new products if you'd like to have a look, it's http://www.rubylimedesign.blogspot.com/ Sorry for being lazy and not putting it on here too, but one does have to try and get to bed before midnight sometimes.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting our shop. We are all loving being there and really enjoy chatting with everyone who comes in. It is also very inspiring to get feedback from our customers about out products and keeps us motivated to keep coming up with new and interesting things.

Also, thanks to everyone who has been asking after Toni. I saw her yesterday and she is looking great and feeling a lot better.

Pod members at Ecofest

Carolyne (Ruby Lime Design) and Ali Bird had a stall at Gladstone Ecofest today displaying their recycled creations. It was a great day, lots of people and a great response to the news about our shop opening next Friday. It was great to see lots of people from out of town there too, from Agnes Waters, Yeppoon, and lots of international tourists as well.

Here are some pics from today.
