Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #makesmehappy, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I was in the area this morning and it’s such a beautiful sunny morning, so thought I’d drop by again to see #DanielleWeber’s gorgeous mural.

    The sunlight brings out this little girl’s eyes terrifically (a depiction of a younger Danielle), so too the accompanying colours of this magnificent public artwork.

  2. This warehouse office space has been transformed by the talented and may I say accomplished artist Melanie Caple, with a stunning mural, including #flora and #birdlife.

    This beauty measures 12 x 6.5 metres in size and is just amazing!

    Melanie says in her Insta post; “I used colour and composition to enhance this warehouse office space.

    It was a pleasure creating this mural… featuring #botanicals and #bird life of the [#Victorian] south eastern coast”.

    Well, from us here from ‘The Streets of Melbourne’, we’re glad you created this masterpiece, too!!

    Featured in this mural are:

    #ScarlettHoneyeater pic 2 #LittlePiedCormorant pics - 1 and 4 #GlycinePeaFlowers (purple) - pics 1 and 3
    #CostalBanksiaSprings - pics 2 and 4

    Just awesome!

  3. #Bronte feathering her new nest, as only she can do!

    She now has two official sleeping locations but just does her thing and sleeps wherever she wants, of course!

    She’s a cat… it’s her prerogative, hey?!

    BTW, dont you just love the way cats poke, prod and ‘knead’ their bedding before they settle for a snooze?!!

  4. #Brunswick #Australia is home to this lovely creation, painted by #Juzpop and #saladbowlart.

    The colours and shading bring out the beauty of the subject perfectly in this candid scene.

    And I adore the #flora and #butterflies, which are signature specialities that Juz portrays so well.

    This is gorgeous 🙌💖

  5. Gorgeous, vibrant public art adorn these housing building walls in #Southmelbourne #Australia.

    I love the realism and striking colours of each work.

    I especially like the kind features of the woman on the end of the building, who is surrounded with classic #flora… and whose features depict an old soul, with a distinct appearance of quiet wisdom.

  6. See #melbourne local, Danielle Weber’s representation of her self-portrait, as a child 👇

    It’s just wonderful isn’t it?

    Danielle writes on insta that painting this piece of herself depicted as a young kid, was a meaningful process.

    The theme of this mural is ‘belonging’ and she goes on to say, that whilst it was difficult fitting in as a child, art has been instrumental in her personal journey and growth. And has been an avenue to finding herself; her fit [sic].

    #DanielleWeber; “I hope this mural inspires others to explore their own sense of belonging and to embrace unique perspectives”.

    I love this piece. The child’s eyes; beaming with innocence and clarity. She is living in the moment; in spontaneous joy of this captured moment. Unadulterated child-like wonderment. Being present and alive!

    Although her vulnerability (also evident) is present, this youngster’s inherent knowledge, if not at a cellular level, knows that to dream the dream will bring nothing but joy.

  7. #JustineMillsom is #Juzpop!

    #Melbourne-based artist Juzpop has created a new piece of street art - and I just love it!

    It is titled; “Inner Demons”.

    The #realism of this, is superb.

    What’s most striking for me is the neon pink demons that overlay the woman’s face.

    For mine, it signifies that we all battle with our demons. Of course.

    However, opposed to being portrayed in ominous darker colours (blacks / greys)… SOME demons - these represented in pink, exist for a ‘greater’ experiential purpose.

    That is, for the sole purpose of providing an opportunity for positive and beneficial, life-defining personal growth.

    Beautifully portrayed Justine!

  8. #MelvilleCaves are awesome!

    Childhood memories of camping here came flooding back, by the river many moons ago, after visiting recently.

    They’re located in #centralvictoria #Australia in a small township named #Brenanah.

    Melville Caves are located in #KooyooraStatePark in, #Victoria. 

    If you’re local: a day trip is a must!

    Even in the cooler months it’s glorious. And check out the moss covered boulders and rock formations!

    Some are huge… up to 50 feet tall I reckon. May be of interest to some of our #mosstodon enthusiasts! And #lichensubscribe (thx @cohanf)

    We managed to pick a clear day and took some awesome nature snaps. And I’ll feature inside the caves, in a second post!

  9. Feeling mellow with this gorgeous yellow growth this morning.

    Travelling through #mckinnon #australia, had to stop and snap.

    These #bushdasies have been popping up everywhere throughout #melbourne suburbs of late. Such a welcomed colour burst to #winter right now.

  10. #JustineMillsom is #Juzpop!

    #Melbourne-based artist Juzpop specialises and thrives on creating works oozing with fem strength, mixed in my opinion, with a good deal of fun and sass.

    These are just a handful of her works adorning Melbourne establishments… including huge murals displaying brightly in public spaces around #Melbs.

    Full of colour and vibrance, I love Justine’s style and expression of the female form.

  11. #DanielleWeber is a local artist here in #melbourne #Australia breaking new ground with her large displays of brilliance.

    Many of her works adorn public spaces, but this one on brick is worthy of note.

    Check out the detail and character in this piece. There’s talent and skill illustrated in every brush stroke.

  12. Here’s another… #ScarlettBottlebrush, a ground dwelling bush about waist height. It spreads though, so it’s adorned with beautiful pink ol foliage.

    I love the long stems, covered in pink hair-like spikes. They are so pretty.

  13. Checkout #DanielleWeber’s work. Danielle is a Melbourne-based artist and street mural extraordinaire!

    Her work is amazing; the detail, colours, shades and love that has gone into this piece is obvious.

    The subject’s feminine beauty, accentuated by her rich facial contouring, gorgeous eyes (lashes, shaped brows, shadow and eye colour), full lips and shades of black and indigo flowing hair is just something else.

    #extraordinary!!

  14. Just look at this cute mural created by Melbourne’s own, artist #Juzpop.

    It features on a feature wall, opposite the bar in the city’s #herosmelbourne and was painted June last year.

    I love the fem strength and sass of this woman featured. So too the gorgeous flowers and foliage that sits around the main feature.

    Oh, and that pretty #butterfly… oh so good!

    Justine (Juzpop) nailed this mural perfectly, matching perfectly with the vibe of this bar, in #melbourne #Australia.

    #gorgeous!

  15. These are lovely.

    #ScarlettBottlebrush.

    I’m astounded at the various species of native #bottlebrush that adorns our beautiful country.

    These ones are no exception. I love the long stems, covered in pink hair-like spikes. They are so pretty.

    The #bees were having a ball! 🐝

  16. Here’s #Bronte zonked out on the bed.

    With the sudden departure of her pal and sister #Missy a few weeks back, her life has changed considerably. She’s now the solo cat of the household.

    Bought her a new blanky which she’s taking full advantage of, now the weather has turned cold. And she’s calling less for her sis. Loads of cuddles and ‘us’ time has helped her transition, I think.

    Our pet’s become embedded as a part of the family-propper and it’s such a shame they only visit us for such a short time.

    I’m sure all pet owners agree.

    All the same, I’m sure Missy is flying high in her new existence.

  17. Didn’t think of posting here until after I got home.

    So didn’t do a ‘clear shot’ without my sons and I.

    So here goes, and you get my mug too!

    This fun #butterflywings mural is on the side of a bakery brick wall in #CaulfieldNorth #melbourne #Australia.

  18. #Mckinnon #Australia is home to this large-scale mural oozing with #feminine elegance, by the none other than artist known locally as #Juzpop!

    It is incomplete. More detail yet to come.

    It has been 2 weeks since visiting this work in progress.

    Justine (Juzpop) advises there have been technical issues with the site preventing its completion. But hope things resolve quickly for her.

    #love the vibrance!! And those #butterflies - OMG!

  19. Was directed to this work-in-progress by a fellow #VisualHedonist… in #Mckinnon #Australia, lunchtime today.

    And OMG, glad I went to have a sticky-beak!!

    Such #feminine elegance forming here. Accompanied, I think, by leaves; perhaps some roses and plenty of #fem #love!!

    I’d suggest this gorgeous piece is about halfway complete and the detail (face, neck, arms, fingers, surrounding scene etc) will take the longest to complete; will be painstaking. Just guessing.

    I can see this coming along beautifully, with shading and more depth to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete.

    Justine, the creator of this emerging masterpiece took a little time out to chat. This accomplished artist is a marvel to speak to and you can see why she’s an absolute angel who paints from the heart. Just wow and… gosh!

  20. Some sad news.

    #Missy, our gorgeous Tonkinese passed early last week.

    She had been struggling health-wise for the past six months, however her recent decline was rapid and is now racing around elsewhere I’m sure, in another world of wonderment and joy.

    Thankful that she brought so much love and light to our lives and kept #Bronte-cat company.

    Be well beautiful girl.

    You’re not too far from here, only a dimension or two away.

  22. Getting nostalgic today!

    These were a regular feature in most #Melburnian’s homes in the 60’s - 90’s and now of course!

    They’re good ‘ol charming #Pelargonium, from the #geranium family

    These are native to southern Africa in the western regions of the Cape Provinces and they do oh so well in our neck of the woods, too!

  23. Missy was sunning herself this morning. She turned 13 recently.

    She hasn’t been well but seems almost back to her old self today, which is super pleasing.

  27. #iceplant’s are so nice. They’re understated and humble in appearance but when they’re out, they’re just lovely.

    It’s native to the Eastern Cape in South Africa and is naturalised in Portugal and the states of South Australia, Western Australia, and Victoria in Australia, as well as Pacific Grove, California.

    Not sure how a species becomes ‘naturalised’ elsewhere, but apparently it is, in those other locales according to wiki.

    Anyone have any idea?

  28. #Missy is bunking down today inside.

    It has just hit the forecast temp of 38c (100F) and it’s at least 10 degrees less Indoors. So that’s something!

    Last time I saw #Bronte she was outside sprawled out in the heat, on the balcony.

    I think I might just go and bring her in!

  29. #Mirabilis, is a species of flowering plant native to the southwestern United States from Arizona to Texas and northern Mexico.

    These pics were taken on a warm, sunny mid morning in #McKinnon#Australia and I was perplexed why these flowers appeared ‘subdued’ in nature.

    Compared to the many I saw this day, they were slightly closed whereas all other species of flowers were open and displaying prominently, pointing towards the sunshine.

    Now I know the answer!

    It is night-flowering!! That is, they tend to come out in the latter day and evening. And they bloom at night.

    The flowers are mostly white, although there was an eclectic mix of colours here, strongly scented (yes, they smelt divine) and they’re long and narrow in form, approaching 17 centimeters in maximum length. Most of these were around 10 cm.

    They’re beautiful.

  31. I often see this series of #murals in #BentleighEast, #Australia and it makes me smile.

    This astounding triad was painted by no other than the accomplished and talented Justine Millsom, better known in the Melbs creative scene as #Juzpop. That’s Justine’s handle on socials, including Insta so go check out her work… and marvel!

    I love this woman depicted here.

    She has the exact eyes of an ex-girlfriend wayback when… and it reminds me of her.

    I’m sure she wouldn’t mind me saying that, given it was a wholesome and nice time together.

    Anyways, enjoy this subject who I choose to name ‘sassy-minx’ 😂😂

    Love the rose one - it’s quite cheeky.

  34. Im alittle conflicted by this paint job.

    I see it regularly and don’t know if I love it. Or just in ‘like’ 😁

    This is #HanoverHouse’ and the #BETA

    Their statement; “We are conscious consumers who seek meaning, yet the places where we shop are no longer fit for purpose. We want experiences rather than transactions, circularity instead of waste, the way forward not the past.

    BETA is a revolutionary testing ground exploring the future of retail space, programming and new business models. Real-time experiments are happening through a series of events that test new forms of dining, wellness, fashion and design outside retail’s traditional brick and mortar limits. A humble seven storey concrete office block, which until the late 1990s claimed to be Southbank’s tallest building, has been transformed into a dynamic lab of progressive retail experiences that honour individuality, diversity and creative expression”.

    I love their work though!

    It is located within the heart of #Southbank #Australia around the corner from the #ArtCentre #NGV and #CrownCasino.
