ALOHA POSTCARD

February 6th, 2010 · No Comments

aloha post card

I have had this post card floating about my studio for years – it has helped me daydream my way into an oasis many a time.

To me it shows how accessible art has become. When I was a uni student, days were filled with learning about amazing artisan’s of the world and of history, and my nights were filled with live band venues that had sticky carpet and free postcards – I would gather as many of these free pieces of art as I could and blu tac them to the crumbling walls of my rental.

I now draw inspiration from the multitude of images I’ve collected over the years, it helps me in starting the design process that eventually evolves into a new range.

Summer Time

January 21st, 2010 · 1 Comment

Hanging by the poolWith the sun beating down on days that seem to last forever, finding a shady spot by the water with your friends, make summer time truly magical and memorable. Especially when you have the cares of a pre-schooler… life is all about having fun with your mates.
e and aThis is what happened with my latest photo shoot for my next range “Aloha Hollywood”. Which will hit the shops next summer 2010/2011.
A friend of mine has this amazing little oasis in the inner suburbs of Melbourne.last minute model - what a star A leafy backyard with a pool, chooks roaming around peeking at the grass and a fifties style brick house with an amazing black Cadillac parked in the drive (I had died and gone to heaven the first time I dropped into Geoff’s house – it’s my kinda place).
How could I not use it in one of my photo shoots – A big thanks to Julie and Geoff for the location, to my beautiful little models (plus the ring-ins who saved the day) and to Narelle for the ace photos….
Enjoy the sneak peak of next summer.

Too cool for pre-school

Me and my sister in a spinny egg

Me and my sister in a spinny egg


Welcome to the first ever blog from knuffle kid……!

Well it has finally happened – mark 2 website for knuffle kid is here.

It’s all shiny and new and more user friendly – all web 2.0 (slowly getting up to date with this entire web programmer lingo!)

I plan to indulge you with my thoughts on all things in the world of the pre-schooler. Each week I will bring you products, memories, techniques and fashion that envelop the notion of being at an age when the world is amazing and new. Before the routine of school and constricting school uniforms have been enforced. When it’s still fine to show your knickers at the park when hanging from the monkey bars and a little sneaky eat of some play dough is like tasting some fancy pants morsel at a hatted restaurant.

There is still a big part of me that would love to be up a tree, with my imaginary friends hiding from the adults. Only coming down from the lofty hiding place when there’s a promise of freshly cooked rock cakes and Anzacs made by Grandma.

Alas my time for such frivolity is over, but luckily I now can watch my two girls building their imaginary and real worlds – what fun is to be had!
