Here is my favourite drawing (at the moment!!). Steampunk Charming #1 – as you can tell, I am planning on doing more, both of this and the other Charmings. ATM I have a bit of a “thing” for steampunk and I am really enjoying finding new ways to drawing cogs/gears and chains and other steampunk-style pieces!! Go and have a look at it in my Redbubble store – http://www.redbubble.com/people/purpletanya
I have waited patiently for the post to be delivered, and whilst one of my postcards has arrived, the second one appears to be a dawdler so, here’s a couple of the new drawings and a few other pieces I may have forgotten to show you… whooops 🙂 Plus a brand new one that I worked on all weekend!
Hopefully my last postcard will find it’s way to it’s new home soon and I can share it with you shortly…
Thanks for taking the time to read this 🙂
Yes, it’s been a while since my last post.
No, I haven’t been super busy.
Yes, I am still “creating”.
In fact, I can’t wait to show you some of my new work. I ordered them from Redbubble as part of a postcard-swap for the art group I am in on Facebook and they have just arrived today, so now you can chew on your nails with anticipation while we wait for Australia Post to deliver them and once the recipients have posted their pics on FB, THEN I promise to show you…(hint – bit steampunky/floral – I don’t know, it worked for me!)
Really I guess I’ve just been hibernating while the weather is lousy, as it always is in winter, here in Melbourne. And don’t let anyone tell you it’s been a mild winter – just because it hasn’t rained tonnes doesn’t mean I have felt like going out or being energetic!! Plus I’ve been trying to be good and not be on the computer as much – I can so easily be distracted and lose whole hours (hmm Pinterest, whose fault is that!!!). Admittedly that has often been in the name of “research” for patterns and steampunky drawing I can do, so whilst the housework has suffered, my drawing skills have increased somewhat 🙂
I promise to return sooner than last time – mwah…
Pouches, cards, tees, phone cases, bags and more… Love the variety of products I can choose to make available with my art on them.
I’ve just added these to my “store” on Redbubble…
Go and check them out, I would love the pouch – hint, hint 🙂
Hahahaha
Stop reading and go http://www.redbubble.com/people/purpletanya go on, hurry up… get in before it’s too late, joke, it’s never too late 😉
Here’s the latest pieces I have added into my Redbubble shop, everyone loves a ‘Stang!! I think my favourite piece is the Rusty Barbed Wire, looks great on a mug or a pillow!
Go to http://www.redbubble.com/PurpleTanya and have a look, the Blue Mustang pic is the one which was purchased the other week 🙂
Must admit to getting a bit excited when checking emails & finding I have recently sold one of my items on Redbubble! Now I know I don’t get much from the sale of a postcard, but it’s the start that counts…hopefully…
And I realised you, my lovely readers, cannot get excited if I don’t show you what I do on Redbubble!
So, for you Redbubble virgins, and for those who may not have found me on there yet…
Duh duh duh dahhhh
I’m excited, hopefully you’re excited, my works are a mix of photographs and illustration, with a bias towards photos. I think my favourite one at the moment would have to be the Morris Grille – I think it will make an amazing looking bag!! Love Redbubble!!
Huge, Huge, Huge, Enormous thank-you to the person who did love my Blue Mustang photo enough to purchase it!!!!!!!!!!
Buon Natal, Gesëende Kersfees and Nadolig Llawen 🙂
Have a lovely holiday season all, and I look forward to finding some time to make/draw lots of new things to show you in the New Year!
Stay safe x
These two drawings are available in my redbubble store on a variety of items – iPad covers, phone cases, tees for adults and kids, and many more.
I have drawn inspiration from two very different women, one fictional, Penny, and one, sadly no longer with us, my grandmother Joyce.
Penny is influenced by my love for the wonderful comedy “Miranda” and the character of her mum, Penny.
And, as I’ve mentioned, Joyce is named in honour of my grandmother, a wonderful woman who gave so much to her family and her community. Her memory lives on.
Please go look at them, enjoy the movement in them, get lost in the patterns….

By definition “Salmagundi”means a mixture, miscellany, hodgepodge, a jumble. So that is what I have chosen to call my style of drawing. This one is, as the name suggests, inspired by the sea, or more precisely seaweed.

Please click the link and check out my lovely Sea Salmagundi! It looks awesome as throw pillow or tote bag, and I wish my computer could use a laptop skin!!
Did you think I had forgotten you, had become too wrapped up in INKtober to remember you…
Oh dear…
Well, kinda, but I didn’t mean to, however each time I took a pic of my drawings I would forget to send myself a copy so I could show you on here, but now I have, at least some of the later, better ones.
I had such a great time doing INKtober and coming into contact with such lovely and supportive artists! It was a brilliant experience and I look forward to doing it again next year, hopefully I’ll get invited back!!!
Am looking at doing more to turn into drawings for tees in my #RedBubble store, what would you like to see first – a zentangle, a floral drawing or a steampunk one???
