The result is uplifting to look at and very affordable to own. Prints of your very own can be ordered for between $25 & $45 with profits being donated to the SSC Children's Therapy centre.

More Locally Made Loveliness
 Joanna Thompson continues to impress with sleek yet simple designs and excellent craftsmanship.
This girl has a way with pearls. We have a number of happy customers now who have brought in pearls which Joanna has transformed in to unique tailor made creations. She has extended her services to us (and you) to also include repairs, and ring resizing.
The squiggle earring (right) is funky and functional with variations in shape and colour to suit just about everyone. Much easier than you think to put in and very secure once they're in. Hand made and very well priced at $46-$50.

Paper Artistry - No it's Not Decoupage!
 Bronwyn Lloyd continues to wierd us out in the nicest possible way as she extends her paper oddessy in new directions. You may remember her stark and confronting hand cut stencils depicting martyred saints and frollicking nuns featured at Culture last year.

 Her new pieces range from gentle colourful abstractions (After The Fire), before plunging back into her murky Catholic guilt ridden subconcious with "How Will I Go Without You". Bronwyn's painstaking attention to detail and unique mix of skills is more akin to what groovy young things are producing in San Francisco than the Sunshine Coast. Very contemporary and very exciting to be around.
