SO I HAVE THIS THING FOR PATTERNS!

November 24, 2017 By Lauren Peters Leave a Comment

SO I HAVE THIS THING FOR PATTERNS!

If you follow me on Insta you’ll know I have a thing for patterns, like a BIG thing! Stripes, spots, zig-zag, paisley, abstract, geometric – you get my drift. And I’m absolutely crazy for colour. And walls. And tiles. And prints. And textures. And Gorman! (don’t get me started on the love for Gorman, it’s…

WONDER-WALL-SPOTTING – PART 1

WONDER-WALL-SPOTTING – PART 1

Wallspotting is one of my all time fave things to do. Say what? I hear you say. You know when you’re driving around and you see a super cool pattern on a wall? Or when you’re walking down the street and you stumble upon an awesome mural. Maybe not? Well I have a radar for…

CREATIVITY MATTERS

CREATIVITY MATTERS

Back in the ’70s my parents divorced. I was only two and a half, Mum had no choice but to work full time, and I spent a lot of time with my Nan. A seamstress by trade and an amazing home-style cook, Nan was a constant ray of sunshine in my life. She was quirky and…

HOW TO MAKE A LEAFY-FEATHERY-CROWN-THINGY

HOW TO MAKE A LEAFY-FEATHERY-CROWN-THINGY

During the last school hols, Ava and I got our creative on and made some pretty leafy-feathery-crown-thingies. It came to mind as we came home from the market and I saw some green leafy vines hanging out over the driveway. I grabbed the secateurs and cut some lengths for Ava, Mum and I. So what next? There’s…

GHOSTPATROL’S MATISSE FAN CLUB

GHOSTPATROL’S MATISSE FAN CLUB

Back in 2006 when I got back from London, I worked in a design studio in the city (right in the centre of Melbourne). I used to catch the tram to work along Brunswick Street (that’s Fitzroy to non-locals), and every day I’d go past a large format art paste up of two children inside…

FROM THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR

FROM THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR

I spend a lot of time creating images. For the blog, for Insta, for Facebook, for brands and sometimes just for us. My camera is a permanent fixture in my bag, and I shoot hundreds of images each week. Sometimes it takes 20 shots to get one or two images I’m happy with. That’s a…

MOTHERHOOD & CREATIVITY

September 1, 2016 By Lauren Peters 2 Comments

MOTHERHOOD & CREATIVITY

Before I had Ava, I used to read ALL the time. I’d devour crime fiction like cocktails on a hot summer’s day, and Mum and I would regularly swap our latest finds. Since having Ava, reading has not been on my radar like it used to be. I’ve read plenty of informative parenting books, but…

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

Last weekend I went to Home-Work to hear Gemma Patford speak as part of the Craft Cubed Studio Sunday Talks. It’s always fab to see the Home-Work ladies, it’s makes me happy just being in their creative space. I met Gemma about three years ago at a screen printing workshop when the Home-Work crew were…

MY LITTLE APPRENTICE IMAGE MAKER

MY LITTLE APPRENTICE IMAGE MAKER

Last weekend I was setting up some images for a new blog post, while Ava was playing upstairs. She came down and asked if she could make some of her own. I had the pegboard out, and was styling some of our crafty creations for a few flat lays. I finished up my shots, while…

A DAY OUT AT HEIDE

May 11, 2016 By Lauren Peters Leave a Comment

A DAY OUT AT HEIDE

Last Saturday I took Mum and Ava to Heide Museum of Modern Art. We decided to celebrate Mother’s Day (a day) early as we were due for super nice weather. And in typical Melbourne fashion, it rained all day Sunday, ha! We got there late morning and checked out the main gallery, I was really…
