A penchant for checks

Who would have thought checks, in exaggerated proportions and saturated colours, would be the most trendy thing now? Thanks to Mr Jacobs, checks is the new black. We caught this lady wearing the so-in-we-are-weeping checks look, head to toe. So LV, unwittingly.

A Tribute to Agnes Martin

The first time we saw an Agnes Martin work at a local museum, we felt a sense of tranquility and mutedness amidst a sea of grids and lines.

Tom The Cat

Tom the Cat was specially requested by a cat lover of a friend. It took us a lot of research as we are essentially more dog people than cat folks. This project was a turn-around for us. After making Tom, we could hardly let it go. Tom wears a pensive face, has whiskers you can brush, and is highly interactive. Accessories sold separately.

Medium: Embroidery threads, felt, brooch pin
Time spent: approximately 6 hours 20 minutes
