[Sponsored Post] Capturing life’s moments using my Smart Phone

February 15, 2012 by Vikram Goyal

What started as a day with the question “What are we doing today mummy?” turned into a “This was the best day ever. Let’s do it again tomorrow!” by the end of the day. And all because of my smart phone.

As soon as I heard that dreaded question, I whisked up my smart phone and punched in some of my favourite apps, hoping to find inspiration. And I did! We found out about the latest exhibition at our local museum and the fun activities planned in the kids area. All the information about this kids exhibition was found on the museum’s app. It helped me find the best times to take the children there, the best place to park and where to feed them.

Check out all the photos to see what a fun day this turned out to be!

But this is completely hands on! In the sticker room!

We were allowed to touch these! The sticker room! Everything was fair game. Stickers were everywhere!

We used our phone for navigation, for finding the closest park, and then to find the best kids eatery around afterwards. Of course, we then used the phone to capture our precious moments through out the day. We cannot live without it!

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
