Friday Finds

Given that Christmas is sneaking up on us so quickly (simultaneous 'eek' and 'YAY') I thought I'd do a few posts on all the lovely handmade goodies out there. In this first post I'd like to show you some of the wonderfully geeky things I've found on MadeIt, the online Australian handmade market.

Finding Fibonacci

It's been a long time since blog posts, but I certainly haven't forgotten about IdeaLiza. I've got lots of things I'd like to blog about, but today I'm going to talk about my latest series 'Finding Fibonacci'. In this series I'm branching out from the laser cutting into screen printing. I've been printing onto gorgeous organic cotton bags from The Organic Mamas. These bags have so many great qualities: they're made from 100% organic cotton, are free from dyes and chemicals, and are super strong and durable. They're made in India and are SKAL certified.
My first series of screen prints is called 'Finding Fibonacci' and is based on natural objects (so far fruit and vegetables, but hopefully there will be flowers soon too) which feature spirals described by Fibonacci numbers.  I've also printed bags with the spiral pattern which is key to all of these objects, which is also the central feature of my logo. So, here they are...!

They're currently available from my Made It, Bluecaravan, and Etsy stores.
