23.01.2022 Paper, Scissors, Smock Collage Workshop with Kelly Sullivan We are very excited to announce the first event (in a series) we are hosting in conjunction with Yarra Ranges Regional Museum, as part of our exhibition.... Our lovely super talented friend Kelly Sullivan, is a local artist whose work is largely based on circumstances that surrounded her when she was young, as she was born to a family of great iconic imagery and pop culture of the 20th Century. Kellys work is fundamentally grounded in graphic pop-culture that she was, and still is encircled by. Kelly Sullivan - Art workshops sell out very fast!

19.01.2022 We are very excited to share with you (although not related to our paper-cut work) some great news! Aside from collaborating to produce 'wycinanki' paper-cut artworks, we have recently had a great opportunity with the opening of Rumble - Vintage and artisan pop up shop. in Olinda, to bring out of storage some of mum's jewellery work. (a little side project) This pop up shop is full of amazing creative work and collectibles from local folks, so please pop in next time you are ...in the hills, grab a unique Chrissie prezzie and support local makers! Just like with everything in our life we have an interesting story to tell, with this one dating back to pre WW II (please see 2nd image for story)! Jola's jewellery is inspired mostly by Art Nouveau and Art Deco period, made predominantly from vintage and new 'Jablonec' Czech glass beads often combined with Swarovski crystal, pearl, coral, natural stone and mother of pearl, including silver, metal or brass findings. if you want to know more or are interested in purchasing a piece (there are more then pictured) feel free to PM us, we will hopefully resurrect the long dormant jewellery FB page in the coming weeks .
