Handmade, enlarged coffee bean..
Made out of wood.
Polished/coloured with shoe polish & coffee grinds, ha.


That's all.

vintage

I love old things/people
Looking through old family albums the other day, found some real winners.
Real vintage family members, some whom I never met.. others are still around.
I suppose those who have passed, were real troopers

..they look like they were a hoot, ha.

he's my favourite,

a young, less serious pops..looking fresh,

childhood mem's.. (that's me!)

Enough of the history lesson, although there's more.. these were the primo ones.. (in my opinion.. which is the only one that matters atm, ha)

rain colours

These are just some experiments.
Started working on raw canvas, and I absolutely love it.
..painted these in the rain.

-ella,

chi-town

Chicago.
Self explanatory.
Detailing.. done in a rough, 'painterly' way on purpose.

For my brother,

-ella,

audrey

I started this a while ago, and just finished it now.. it's been driving me crazy.. not fully satisfied, oh well.

Camera doesn't do this justice.. looks much better in real.

-ella,

experiments

Just an experiment of various painting techniques, I like the way it turned out though..
