Water Colour Weekend



It's lovely to be in Sydney BUT ... I'm so missing my studio at home on the Gold Coast !!! 


So on Friday afternoon, I decided to pop into an art shop (just for a look!) ... Well you know how it goes, I couldn't resist buying some new watercolours ... so this weekend I can now sit in the sunshine sketching and painting some new designs .. Yippee :)


Inky Floral
This is one of my latest vintage floral designs in an antique blue and taupe colour palette!
More fabric ... (and this weeks Night Owls Tweet :) photos soon :)


Whatever you plans for this weekend, I hope you have a fabulous time. 
Cheers, Kris.

Hello Sydney














Although things here on the Kristopher K blog have been quiet (for what feels like MONTHS to me now) ..... I can assure you, my daily life over the last few weeks, has been the opposite!
Due to some unexpected family matters (all good) I left home on the sunny Gold Coast to once again say "Hello" to my hometown of Sydney. The city skyline may have changed in my absence, but I'm happy to say the Harbour is as magical and beautiful as ever.
As soon as I am reunited with my home computer I will post more "Kristopher K" news and updates (when you leave an Apple at home : and only have limited access to a laptop PC - I assure you, absence makes the heart grow fonder - lol)
... so missing the fun of "catching up" with you all ... and although this weeks "Night Owls Tweet" will be late, I wanted to let you know everything is AOK and I hope to be back here in Blogland soon ... !!!
