Glass Genius

We aren’t exaggerating when we say that we harassed, cajoled, begged and pleaded with glass artist extraordinaire Kristin McFarlane to be a part of Moose. Thank my old high school, John Curtin, whose motto was ‘Persevere and Advance’. And it’s not just because she’s an international award winner who has exhibited everywhere twice and in her spare time designs the trophies for the Australian of the Year awards, it’s because….well…….look at the work!

eveline-blocksKristin manages to combine her sublime glass skills with some amazing typography and graphics – all designed by her super-talented self.

We imagine that anyone who receives the Australian of the Year award feels pretty proud of themselves on the day, but we imagine that having the trophy to look at each day that follows is a pretty special feeling too.

So, we were beyond ecstatic when poor Kristin finally buckled under the weight of our begging and sent over some of her gorgeous pendants. Now everyone’s a winner! (And Kristin gets a break).

Lola & Bailey Sundials

A little while ago e got wind of some amazing new pieces coming out of Sydney duo Lola & Bailey, whose work we have been huge fans (and big stockists) of since Day One. Well, the rumours were TRUE. And STUNNING. Naturally, we went nuts ordering the gorgeous Sundial range – as well as some new Dial D pendants – and they can all be viewed and drooled over by clicking on the links below…

Chocolate Makes Everything More Fun!

Just saw this chocolate pie chart over at Mary & Matt,

Am pretty sure if my math classes had used chocolate to demonstrate theories and ideas you would now be reading the words of a professional mathematician.
