Getting Close

First of all, I am having huge difficulties trying to get the website working from my end, so please bare with me and my fumbling around with updating it. I am currently trying to sort out more photographs, content and a shop. For now, please feel free to email me with your orders.

So, for all of you who follow me on Facebook you will know that I am exhibiting at the Reverse Garbage end of year exhibition, this one is called I HEART HANDMADE and it is based around sustainable gift-giving. This means that not only are all the items under $50, but they are all a minimum of 75% recycled, reclaimed or up-cycled. Let me know if there is anything you would like to see there.


Many of you may have noticed that recently I have been chopping and changing what I have been bringing out. Currently I have some fantastic gift bows available. They were originally only to be sold at markets, but as you all love them so much; when I found some bow-sized cardboard boxes at Reverse Garbage today, I couldn't resist!

Large Gift Bows

Top - Spiderman and The Punisher. Bottom - National Geographic (2002).

Bows are 11cm and self-adhesive.

This means that I have 20 lots of bows I can ship, in time for Christmas. In stock I currently have the black and white The Phantom, colour Spiderman and The Punisher and full colour gloss National Geographic, each bow is around 10cm. Custom orders are available. The bows are $5 and shipping is $6.35 per box, within Australia. Each box will hold up to three bows, or you can mix and match with any smaller items. I will send you a free gift with each bow if you order before November 10th*.


I have also been creating hand-bound journals. I have had a lot of fun with these and it has given me a lot of freedom in my cover designs. I am only taking custom orders for these journals as they take quite a lot of time and work. Please check out the website for more information on how you can customise them.

Blue Journal

 Front Cover of the blue notebook is a medium weight blue and brown material with a faux-suede embellishment. The book measures 145x115. It has 80 pages. All pages are reclaimed medium weight sketching paper, plain off-white. Perfect for sketching, writing, water colours etc.

The inside covers are a pale blue pearl paper.

Quilted Journal

 

This journal has a patchwork cover and measures 145x115.

The inside covers are black paper and the pages are reclaimed Australian Hand-Made paper. The paper is extremely porous. The spine is larger on this book due to the thickness of the paper, but it still has 80 pages.

 Rainbow Journal

This journal has a plain black faux-velvet cover, lilac cover pages and a selection of bright pages. This note-book is 145x115 and also has 80 pages but as the pages are printer paper the spine is thinner. The pages are: blue, green, yellow, orange, red and fuchsia. These are the only journals in stock currently and they are for sale!*

I made myself an A5 journal last week to try and get myself back into sketching/drawing/journaling. It has become my new best friend. I will take a photo of it at some point. 

I'm off to make something...


*The gift bows and journals are not part of the free postage before 1st November offer. But the notebooks do fit in the boxes. Maybe I'll send you a free bow with each journal if you ask nicely.
