A thank you gift for master papermaker Zöe Collis at @tworiverspaper in Somerset, UK. Thank you for offering your time and sharing your knowledge when D went for a visit! And for letting her (try pathetically to) scoop and couch some sheets. Zöe's cap is made from handmade washi paper made in @kurotaniwashi and waxed with Australian beeswax, and has all hand-dyed bands and straps. 🪰🪰💚💚

Sneak peek of some new work developed for ReFashion/TransForm - opening this Thursday the 14th at Tasma Terrace. Curated by The National Trust of Australia @nationaltrustvic , the exhibition investigates the possibilities that emerge when waste is reimagined as a resource. Referencing floriography and Victorian papier-mâché furniture, "Flowers" is comprised of a series of 9 ornamental tiles made from waste linen rag pulp. This project was led by Jake Nakashima-Edwards. The show opens at 7pm - see you there!

Nothing says "I'm the eldest boy" like a baseball cap with no logos. Succession’s costume designer Michelle Matland told the Wall Street Journal in a 2021 interview that, as she sees it, the absence of a logo on Kendall Roy’s baseball caps says “there’s no relevant team but…team Me.”

Custom order paper cloud. This paper was designed during the Japanese Mingei movement, and it's produced in Izumo. This paper is called Izumo Cloud Paper (出雲雲紙), and is made in Izumo, Japan, at Izumo Mingeishi Kōbo. Papermaking in this region began around 737 AD, and peaked at 30 workshops. Now, there is one. This paper is made in the winter time, and typically used for sliding doors and bookbinding. While most Japanese paper is made from Kōzo (Paper Mulberry), this paper is made from Mitsumata grown in the Kōchi region of Japan. The technique to make this paper was invented by National Living Treasure Abe Eishiro during the Mingei (folk-art) movement in the early part of the 20th century. The technique for this gorgeous paper is now patented, and continues to be made by his descendants. The clouds of coloured pulp create gentle stripes in natural, blue, red, and gold 🤍 Handmade paper, wax, linen thread Handmade in our studio in Melbourne Made to age 👽🐎🫏🐢
