Craft Hatch!



Thanks to everyone who came on Saturday to £1000 bend in Melbourne to support the launch of the DearSister, ready made stationery range at Craft Hatch jumbo market. 
We were also selling high quality giclee prints of Genna's illustrations.

We had some great feedback, sold our wares to some very lovely customers, and we had a fantastic day. The atmosphere was buzzing. £1000 bend was the perfect location for the market, organised by Craft Victoria. 
To those that enquired on the day, we will have an online store up and running shortly, where you will be able to buy ready made stationery. In the meantime we are available by email (dearsister.mail@gmail.com) for any orders of ready made or custom designed stationery. Genna's prints are available currently at her Etsy store.
Stay tuned for the DearSister, online store.....

A Wedding in Italy


 This is how it all began. Genna was commissioned to create illustrations for wedding invitations for a lovely couple who are getting married in Italy. She soon realised that the task of designing, making and illustrating the invites on top of her other projects was a big task. We'd always spoken of combining our skills and love of design and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to start a business. Our goal is to explore different design mediums and see where it takes us....
Here are some snaps of our first endeavour.

Back to the beginning...




We spent our days growing up on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. 
Ironically as youngsters we didn't appreciate this idyllic setting as much we do when we visit from the city these days. 
These photos are from a recent visit.
