Zee's Instagram

It is a strange feeling seeing your ideas (and illustrations, if you can call them that) come to life. This process of adding augmented reality to #pacificleatherbacks is all kinds of magical.

Video (and #Etsy listing) up for this #journal, titled "Sweet Dreams". Search "Zee from Life in Analogue" on #YouTube, and hit the link in my bio for my shop.

Working on some mini writing journals in between packing. Video up shortly!

I don't usually draft my blog posts by hand, but I had a bit of a first-world-guilt-crisis and want to gather my thoughts before I share them. Expect a long post!

I've been feeling under the weather for the last few days, so there hasn't been much to share. In lieu of new stuff, here's a #throwback to a favourite page from my first #naturejournal, fitting for today's skies.

When accidental photographs turn out 👌😍

Journalling time before work with my fancy pants new fountain pen 😍✒

Yesterday's sunrise, because I slept in this morning, and I've been hiding my face a lot lately.

Snail mail haul video up on YouTube - search "Zee from life in analogue" for crafty videos ✂️📹

Blue Mushroom Books

We're in the middle of a big move (from Auckland to Dunedin!), so productivity has stalled - but here's a bit of progress on the Pacific Leatherbacks book + AR project. 🐢💻😍

Shout out to my mum, @trixies_treasury, to showcase her intricate felt work. These are handfelted / handsewn and just stunning in real life. Find them at trixiestreasury.etsy.com.

A gorgeous #tieke (saddleback) in the middle of the city.

Calling kiwi #zine makers!

Found these clippings in one of my old @forestandbird magazines. Nice to know my teen self had her heart in the right place.

Two beautiful - but miniscule - bits of nature spotted at Totara Park. I've done a few internet searches but can't find the name of that little red mushroom. Can any fungi experts help? 🍂🍄 We have identification! Hygrophorus miniatus #hygrophorusminiatus

One of our books in progress is a picture book about leatherback turtles, which will be getting the AR (augmented reality) treatment from Mark Southcombe. While Zee is doing mixed media book illustrations we've brought in Becky & Isaac to bring the AR to life - here's their first scene, when the research scientists spot a turtle coming up for air.

Blue kiwi! 💙 #regram from the fantastic @nigel_latta

This book interviews some kiwi artists - all at different places in their careers - about the FAQs of artist-dom. Written for children but equally loved by adults, this book would make a great gift for a budding artist or addition to the family library.
