I thought you might like to see the final lay-out of the article on Jo Neville in the Christmas Issue of Inside Out magazine, titled 'paper tale'.
Inside Out magazine were kind enough to send me a copy of the article today. It's a nice article on Jo from Paper Couture and I really like the final product.
The weekend is here and I'm so excited. My place will be a tradesman free zone for the first time in 3 weeks and I have plans to do some shopping and some baking.
Enjoy the weekend and I'll be back again next week,

I wasn't expecting to post tonight but I have something to tell you all about. A few months ago I paid a visit to Paper Couture, a sweet paper shop owned by Jo Neville. I think Paper Couture was my second shopshoot ever.
Fast forward to last month when I received an email from Jo asking if I could take some portraits as she was going to be featured in Inside Out magazine and needed some updated headshots. I think the production deadline for the magazine had come and gone so the shoot was all done very quickly. We wanted to capture the essence of Jo and chose her iconic paper globe as our prop.
This morning I scrolled through my blog list and discovered that the Christmas issue of Inside Out magazine was on the news stands. I checked the Inside Out magazine blog and there was the profile on Jo, titled Paper Tale and there was my image. Here are a few more images from the shoot that Jo selected.
I don't have my own copy of the magazine yet but I had a quick look through the magazine this morning an my way to work and it looks like a lovely issue.
Have a happy weekend every-one,
Jillian
Last Friday was my day off and in between waiting for the builder and the carpenter and doing my grocery shopping, I found time to visit Paper Couture. Paper Couture is a lovely bespoke paper shop in Paddington, Sydney owned by Jo Neville.
I walked by the shop a few years ago and promised I would visit one day. I didn't think it would take me so long but seeing Jo's work featured in Inside Out magazine last month reminded me of that promise.
Jo was in the shop and very kindly let me take photographs of her work. I have always loved book stores, stationery shops, flower shops, industrial antique shop and shops displaying beautiful soft leather goods.
Paper Couture nearly ticked all those boxes. Apart from paper, cards and ribbons, there were lots of sweet tags and ties, some papercuts and Jo's amazing clothes constructed of paper. I can see I'll be back!
Apart from the work displayed, the nicest thing about Paper Couture is Jo. Unfortunately Paper Couture doesn't have a website but you can find the shop at 284 South Dowling Street, Paddington (the St. Vincents' Hospital end).
I hope you enjoyed your peek in to Paper Couture.
Bye for now,
Jillian
Edit 2016 - Paddington shop is now closed.
