I love to dress up. So I was pretty stoked when my friend had a dress up party for her birthday. It was around Halloween, so I wanted to do something creepy.. but with a twist. And so the evil tooth fairy was born. GIVE ME YOUR TEETH! To create this costume I wore a…
During April (and er, overflowing into May..) I took part in a little art challenge set up by a fellow faery artist and friend, Faerie Sarah of Handmade Wonderland. 5 Mondays in April exploring Art Witchery.. Week 1: Meet the Art Witches It seemed fitting to do a self portrait for this prompt and it…
My adorable 6 year old gave me a shadow box for Mother's Day which is such a sweet and thoughtful gift! It's also full of pink sequins and kind of hideous, so I asked him if I could decorate it. He was totally cool with that, thank goodness. Such a sweet gift, sickly sweet Sequins…
My son Oscar found these little gumnuts at his school and immediately I saw little faery hats. I began collecting more when I caught the attention of two young school girls who were very interested in what I was doing. When I told them I was going to make little faeries they got so excited…
The Mythical Markets were even more wonderful and spectacular than last year! Hard to believe, but it was. Probably because I was waaay more prepared this time which certainly helped and I had my little friend Kerry join me again, what a superstar. Together we had made a big batch of magick, shiny wands which…
2018 has been a really productive year for my art and I'm proud as punch to see how far I've come in these past 10 years. That's right, back in 2008 I had my first exhibition and started sharing my work under the studio name 'B.Inspired'. Now I run an online shop, sell at markets…
Finally Spring is here, the days are getting warmer and I'm ready to crawl out of hibernation. I'm back. All Winter I've been really busy crafting and creating to stock up and prepare for upcoming markets. These items will also be avaiable online through my Etsy shop. Check out my new treasures.. Glass lockets with…
Hello strange people! We're about half way through Winter here in Australia, so I've been hibernating. I don't like the cold much but I do like cooking and crafting so there is a bright side. Here's some interesting artifacts I've been preserving, mainly faery wands and wisdom sticks. There is also a piece made with a…
Market season has come to an end.. for me anyway. For now. I had three market stalls, not many but it was a nice introduction without being too overwhelmed. The Mythical Markets were crazy insane and I think I accidentally tossed myself well and truly into the deep end with that one, but it…
Well! If you've been following me on Facebook you may have read the wonderful news that our water well in rural Cambodia IS COMPLETE! The well was built for a community in the Kilotacheom Village, Chikreng District of Siem Reap Province, Cambodia. Thank you to the Cambodian Buddhism Association for Vulnerable Children for arranging the project.…
The Hills Art Market Memorial Ave. Emerald Vic Saturday March 10th 9am - 3pm I'm at it again, market number 2 is less than a week away and this time I feel a little more confident, and a little less organised. So I figure I'd tackle it the way I do life in general, try…
I'm very excited to have finally updated my Etsy shop with a heap of new treasures! My style has changed over the years and isn't quite as bright and bubbly as it once was, but now a little darker and weirder.. like my soul. I've named my shop 'Curiouser & Curiouser'. I'm still B.Inspired but…
'You're entirely bonkers! But I'll tell you a secret, the best people are' - Alice in Wonderland Ah the Mythical Markets. It came, it went, it threw faery dust in my face. It was a whirlwind of curious characters, magical mayhem, and in its entirety it was beautifully bonkers! Nothing could have prepared me for the…
Another year has flown by and is coming to a close, so it's time to reflect back and see where I've come from, what I have achieved, and where I'm headed. 2017 started off slowly on the creative side of things, I have spent the year at home with my wee little newborn Toby (now…
I've been working merrily away on a miniature Wizard's cupboard and it's finally complete! I say finally.. when in fact it only took me a couple of weeks (only working on it for a little bit each day) and it came together quite quickly without any hiccups. Love it when that happens.. I had a…
My bears are complete for Toy to the World 2017! Meet 'Totem' the Animal Spirit Guide and 'Funghi Town' where we're going down, down, down, down, down down down.. to. These guys will be exhibited at the Toy to the World exhibition being held in Prahran, Melbourne opening night October 11th. I'm really pleased with…

Artists customise a vinyl Popobe bear which are then exhibited and auctioned. You can read more about the Melbourne based event…
I'm at it again, making more of these creepy little critters.. dead mummified faery specimens! This time around I've added a few extra details like jewelry, hair beads and I'm also experimenting with real insect and butterfly wings. The back of each piece will have a label which includes the specimen # and the faerie's…
Behold! The Faery in the Key Cabinet. Or should I say the Mystery of the Faery in the Key Cabinet! But that was too long for the heading. Point is, this little masterpiece holds a secret and it's up to the possessor to unravel the story.. The story begins with a dead faery locked inside…
