Jasmine has just turned 18 and is about to start a new season in life. In order to celebrate the wonder that she is, I decided to show you a little of her life and work via her bedroom.

So this is my Jasmine and her bedroom. I always look foreword to what comes out of it.
Mirror mess: There’s more stuff in here than meets the eye.
For the last few years Jasmine has focused on various artistic expressions from painting to music to granny-like crafts. The things she makes are all over the map.

Recently she has been combining all these interests by writing and illustrating books.
It started with some basic character ideas, a little poetry and a knitting club where she informally brainstorms over Butterscotch-Banana Sticky Pudding.
Bellow is a Christmas present she wrote, illustrated and bound for her cousin.

On her 18th, she wanted port, pipes and knitted sweaters watching the sunset from Mt Albert.
The eclectic approach she takes to life is leading her ultimately toward a Scottage (a cottage in Scotland).
Here’s a link to her eclectic creations:
This is where the art supplies live along with a gazillion other bits and pieces. Her workspace spreads out to cover the whole house, in fact, as I write, the kitchen table is covered with illustrations and typed pages from her newest story.
