Elephant Trek

I have a new decal available in my Made It Shop. Inspired by my trips to Thailand and my rides on the elephants, so calm and quite.
There is also a tree decal coming which can be put together with the elephants, or used separately.

Beautiful!

Kookaburra Sits Wall Decal

I had an order for a super large Kookaburra Sits Wall Decal. She has an awkwardly shaped stairwell that she couldn't find any art she like to fit so she got me to design a tree branch with some native birds to fit in the space. I thought i would show you guys some pictures of the process...

The Design

I buy the vinyl in big rolls, which come in 600mm or 1200mm wide. I use a top quality vinyl, Avery, in removable matt, this job is in brown - My Favourite Colour!

The Mimaki Vinyl Cutter

I create the files which needs to be all outlines, and send it to the cutter. I load the roll on vinyl on and CUT! Even though i have been doing this a while i always get nervous when it is cutting.. so i cross my fingers and watch it the whole time like hawk!

Once the vinyl is cut i roll it out onto a table and then "Weed" out the areas that i don't need, leave the beautiful design...I love watching it slowly be revealed as i weed the parts out.

Weeding out the vinyl

And then all that is left is my kookaburra design, because it so big it is 3 parts, with 5mm overlap.

What i have left to do it place a layer of "Application Tape" over the top, this attached to the vinyl only and not the backing paper. So when you go to apply the decal you peel off the backing paper, and place it on your wall, give it a good rubbing (we all like a good rubbing) and then slowly peel the backing paper back on itself, leaving you one kick arse wall decal!

Hopefully when the lady installs it she will send me some photo so i can show you.

And there ends my lesson in creating a wall decal....hope you are having a lovely day.

For those of you interested i had a complete shocker at the driving range last night, complete schmozzle, hope i will get my shit together on Sunday! Otherwise i will embarrass my husband infront of all his work mates! Heheheh!

Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree

Hi There Peeps! I just finished a new wall decal. It is a silhouette of a Eucalyptus Tree with a Kookaburra reasting in the branches. For all your non-Aussies out there .. the Tasmanian Blue Gum, Southern Blue Gum or Blue Gum, (Eucalyptus globulus) is an evergreen tree, one of the most widely cultivated trees native to Australia. More at Wikipedia...

This decal is off to my Made It Shop and will be in a 560mm wide x 380mm size. Beautiful!

Next i am going to work on some of the animals everyone said they liked in my Decal giveaway i had for Sew Mamma Sew... i think first some butterflies, cats and owls may be on the cards.

Also another idea i have is decals for laptops. Who wants a boring laptop when they could have one like this!!

My "Made It" Shop

Happy Friday to Everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that i have a Made It Shop now, the perfect place to shop for Australia Handmade Goods. At the moment i just have a few Wall Decal Designs in there, but more will be coming soon - Stay Tuned!

New Creation - Wall Decals

I am starting to create some vinyl decals, you could use them on your car, a large one on your wall, a set of small ones for parcels. They will be available in most colours and made to order to the size you want. What do you think?


This is my first design. It is a pair of Fairy Wrens, an Australian Native Bird, The top bird is the mail and the bottom the female, that is why they are different shapes. I could also do the birds in an alternate colour than the branches if required. I am going to list this in my Etsy shop, not sure just yet how to do the custom order thing though, so need to work that out.

I have a range of vinyls available as i am a graphic designer at a printing and signwriting company so we have loads to quality vinyl is heaps of colours. My first mission is to do one for myself! I have just cut one out of blue translucent vinyl, and i will take a photo when i stick it on my kitchen window tonight. How exciting!

I am going to do a range of Australian Native Birds, i have decided.

So is anyone interested?!
