Darlings of indie craft launch Owl Know How

May 8 2012

Cat Rabbit is well-known in Tasmania's crafting underworld for her hand-stitched, felty, anthropomorphic creatures. Isobel Knowles, of Architecture in Helsinki fame, is an animator extraordinnaire, talented in giving natural movement to unnatural things.

Now these two clever chooks have made a children's book, and it is a pure delight to read. And, would you believe it? They're coming to Tasmania to launch their book.

Thirty-two-year old Paul Carter has won the prestigious Australian/Vogel's Literature Award 2012, for his coming of age novel set in AFL-obsessed Melbourne.

HAPPY AUSTRALIAN READING (with a few specials thrown in)

Jan 25 2012

Australia Day Specials? Oh, alright then

Dear Everybody,

Because we love you all so much, and we love being in Tasmania, which happens to be part of Australia (without getting all political; we're too mellow for that today), and because we would like to point out that Australia is full of many wonders, the least being that we have superior talents with writing, making and reading books, we've collected together some of our favourite Australian writing. Hence the pic. Look closely! You might find your new best friend in there.

Happy Australian reading, folks.

With love, always love,
