Home Dweller Journal

Introducing Home Makers – we're visiting the home-based studio of Melanie Hardy, a ceramist who side-tracked from her creative path many times in life but learnt to listen to her heart and return to the comforts of clay. I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Melanie on a collection of ceramic earrings that formed part of Home Dweller Collective.

Looking for a unique way to wrap presents? Try a traditional Japanese wrapping technique called Furoshiki to inject some creativity into your gift-giving. Both beautiful and functional, the Furoshiki, or wrapping cloth, provides the recipient with an extra bonus gift they can actually use! Demo video included.

This time on my journal series, Home Dwellers, I'm having a chat with fashion influencer and mum-to-be Jessica Allen on her sudden insta success, adapting apartment living to working from home and her baby's immanent arrival. Also, be sure to scroll to the end to see a video of Jess trying on some pieces from the Home Dweller Wears Collection.

Welcome to my new Journal series, Home Dwellers. With this series I'll be taking you on a tour inside interesting and eclectic homes, as well as asking what inspires the creative people who live inside.
