vintage kimono cushions now at FOUND in Daylesford...

beautiful printed purple woolen fabric, very unusual and quite aged! i LOVE it...

what a fabulously odd design- pink and orange and grey AND yellow.

pretty blossomy red and turquoise silk print. salvaged from unpicked vintage kimono.

 

selection of vintage kimono cushions now stocked with 'Found', a great new design boutique up in Daylesford. full of fabulous objects and local labels, well worth a day trip... (any excuse really!) 

i have been making these cushions for a while now, mainly as custom orders and as presents for friends. i love to contrast geometric patterns and stripes with odd florals and unusual prints. the fabrics are mostly silks, salvaged from vintage japanese kimono's and obi's. each piece very unique.  

reverse of cushions feature crossover backs to insert inner (100% duck feathers and down), neutral shades and textures of cotton, linen and silks. 

for sale!

the new 'winter collection' is soon to be in store at Queen (Windsor end of Chapel st). soon as in next week!

i have had a couple of nice people trying to get their hands on a pair of earrings already, so have posted a page of all the styles and if you are really really interested then shoot me an email with your order or any queries and i will be in touch....... 

ps earrings are wooden + photograph + resin. approx same size as a 5 cent piece, but i can also make teeny cute size too. surgical steel (low allergy) earring pin. and most importantly only $30! what a bargain... 

thanks nice people x 

launching the new 'winter collection' wooden brooches and earrings...

well the official launch was a couple of weekends ago at the last Craft Hatch Market- yipee for everyone who bought a pair!! and for all the other designers who did swaps!! 

the lovely new range is very melbourne, very winter....

dark and abstract landscapes with flashes of light, monotones, city/urban patterns and textures, illumination. featuring photographs compiled from all over the place, from Moroccan tiles to Tokyo alleyways. round brooches come in 2 sizes (7cm and 4cm) and can be worn in multiples or singly (i have been known to wear 3 at once but thats just me!). look great pinned to a winter jacket. 

earrings feature similarly soft abstract images, and are finished with a layer of resin. each pair unique. super light and wearable. fun.
