Bird & Blossom

Bird & Blossom Cards, Invitations, Wall Art, Gifts, Jewellery designed and made in Ballarat, Victoria. Hi I am Andrea, wife, mum and creative heart behind Bird & Blossom.

I graduated from Ballarat Uni with an Adv Dip in Graphic Design in 2011 and established Bird & Blossom that same year after a life-long love affair with crafting. I love hand-made products. Imperfect shapes and slightly crooked seams tell a story of the maker, each piece made with love and care, each piece subtly different to the next. When you buy handmade you buy a part of the maker, there is a

little piece of me in all of my products. The Bird & Blossom range has evolved over the years to include unique and colourful children’s illustrations, cards and invitations, re-purposed bunting, personalised birth prints, and bespoke, laser-cut jewellery. Bird & Blossom products are made with love in Australia and always with sustainable practices at the forefront of the creative process. We support other small business and local tradespeople where possible, sourcing only quality, ethical materials along the way. Bird & Blossom products can be found at:
Tilly Mint, Ballarat
Studio Gas, Ballarat
Kawaii Kids, Horsham
The Ivy Room, Glenelg, SA
Rupanyup Living, Rupanyup,
Miss Behavin', Ballarat
Ballarat Regional Tourism, Ballarat

We attend design markets including The Design Exchange, Ballarat, Trove, Bendigo, Springfest, Ballarat. Watch our home page for upcoming markets.

🎨✨ Getting lost in the world of markers today! There’s something magical about how the colours blend and pop on the page. It’s like each stroke has its own vibe—whether it’s bold and vibrant or soft and subtle, markers let you experiment in ways no other medium does. 🌈

Anyone else love the feeling of creating with just a few colours and a lot of imagination? 💭

From sketchbook to fabric, just like that 🤌😉

Just one corner of my incredibly full studio space.. ‘the painting station’ 😁 There’s also a sewing station, a printing station, a jewellery making station, and office space, you know, computers and stuff!! 🤣 What does your creative space consist of?

I’ve been crushing on vintage packaging lately… 🫶🏻 Drawn digitally with Procreate in the #birdandblossomdesignstudio

The moment that Lily discovered that our ‘Looking Out‘ print is available as a windcheater AND a top!!

Here’s a peek at today’s photo shoot with @taracmoorephotography and @lily.may.horvat .. always fun!

Hey @kmartaus where’d my pages go?

Support independent artists this year, (that’s me!), simply by purchasing a pack or two of unique, colourful Christmas cards that have been designed by me (Andrea) and printed in my home town, Ballarat! Yay! Love your local! You’ll receive 10 x A6 cards and envelopes, (2 of each design) printed on recycled stock, for just $29.95, that’s just under $3 per card. Set your clocks my friend, preorder opens tonight at 8pm sharp!

The new season of fashion is about to go online ! Set your clocks because, as always, stock is limited! Tomorrow, sharp. 🙃

A great way to add art to your home is by shopping my Spoonflower shop.. you can buy my art on everything from soft furnishings to wall paper! The product quality is excellent and it’s a great way to get your hands on some really unique products.. Here’s the link to my Peace and Love print 🔗 https://www.spoonflower.com/artists/designs/17712167 #spoonflowerartist

🌟✨ Sharing step 1 of my drawing process with @tombowau markers! ✨🌟 I’m not a sketcher, I love to jump right in and see where the universe takes me.. Step 1 **Base Colors**: Using my Tombow markers, I lay down the base colors. I love how vibrant they are, making the drawing come to life! *What’s your favorite part of the drawing process? 🎨 #ArtProcess #tombowdualbrushpens #artistjourney

The magic of mixed media… 💞..

Before… after!

I can’t imagine life without creativity 🤔

Here’s what @jackiescolourfulcloset has to say about our Mila pants.. available now online or in store @hattieandthewolf and why not grab a scarf to complete the outfit!

Our Story

Andrea Hurley is a Graphic Designer and Mixed Media Artist based in Regional Victoria. Her work is a constantly evolving story of colour and light, combining abstract mark making techniques to create joyous art.

Dabbling mainly in digital media Andrea’s art has depth and light in just the right measure, but not without texture rich accents that will leave you thinking that you are gazing at fresh paint on a canvas.

Andrea’s love of paper sees all of her work printed on rich and tactile cotton rag papers with quality, pigment ink and solid wood frames.
