jelly fish

Friday 5th of February 2010

this weeks offering comes with a story.

A couple who looked like they'd just
stepped off a shoot for a Swedish
sporting commercial bought this badge
from me last week-end at rose st. market.

I asked him why?
They turned out to be English and had
come to Australia to do some
scuba off the Queensland coast.

He'd had the incredible bad luck of
being bitten by one those
miniature  killer irukanji jelly fish
whilst in a wet suit 20 meters down.
He had to be airlifted out and
spent two nights in intensive care.

Well he'd bounced back enough
to buy a badge that says
"i like jelly fish"...

that'll show those jelly fish...hmmmmm.


original badge hand-painted on recycled timber

once only offer
available in australia and bolivia only

please note:
 wearing this badge while swimming
will in no way protect you from jelly fish
or any other bites.

sssshhhhhh

friday 29.01.10

Sometimes there is this roar of a thousand voices that

thunders in your ears, and sometimes it just seems

that there is.

Can you imagine an international day of silence?

I'd be happy to keep quiet for a day

and  kick in a dozen pendants

 like this one if

someone wants to organize it.
Let me know, meantime...

pendant hand made original

on recycled timber with

46cm antique bronze chain and matching clasp

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Friday   22.01.10

To celebrate the new year,

even the new decade

 i thought this

pair of badges might come in handy.

Wear them together to confuse people,

keep one give one away,

or just alternate as you see fit.

special thanks to owen for this badge idea

bi-polar christmas

18th December 2009

I felt compelled to make some kind of
reference to christmas

this week.

Part of me wanted to go punk,

and part of me wanted to
reflect what christmas can be,

and the bigger part of me
just doesn't have the time
to think about it!

so this weeks rushed specials are two!

I love the thought of someone

wearing this round the dinner table,

bon bons, christmas hats, christmas music.....

An original 'I hate xmas'  badge

made from recycled timber

3cmX2.5cm

weighs nothng

otherwise

3  hand made badges

longest 4cm X1cm

going to be interesting to see 
which special goes first!!

cheers neil

REVENGE?

Friday 11th of December

With all the talk of turkeys and hams

and animals and fowl on the christmas table,

maybe this is the revenge of the powerless?

Maybe hitchcocks movie' the birds'  has left deep scars?

Maybe when birds start talking it's time to take a holiday?

Most likely  this is just a good badge that i had

and thought to throw it up for the friday sepcial.

Made from recycled timber

Original kinetic badge combo

BIT POETIC, BIT PRACTICAL, BIT SEXY

Friday 4th of December

This week's special is dedicated to

and inspired by my eldest son.

It is his suggestion

to make something with

 a soy sauce fish.

Recently he travelled

through the middle east and

eastern europe wearing

an empty fish to

 great acclaim and comment.

They tell me now that in a lot of

places you have to pay

for these little fish with

your sushi or nori rolls.

Well why pay and why not recycle?

Fill it up at home, look good and save 10cents.

And of course

it's not just limited to soy sauce.

A little nip of whisky or vodka.

Or a short short black!

Functional

Funky

Fun

First in first served once only special

Recycled soy fish with original soy,

original recycled timber pendant hanging together on

an antique bronze chain with matching clasp.

LISTENING

Friday 20.11.09

A couple of hours late this friday.

Too busy thinking about ice cream in this 37 degree day.

These original ear ear rings.

antique bronze ear ring fitting.

double sided!

left and right!

have ears in the back of your head

ear extensions.

I'm pretty excited about this weeks special.

Prompted by Melbourne's freak heat wave
last week-end,and the endless stream
of costumers wandering past my Rose St.
stall with ice creams
I've decided to get proactive this week.

I'll keep you posted on the results,
but meantime grab yourself this special

$12 for two badges and postage.
I know it's nuts.
I think the heat has affected me,
but i've got to share the joy.

GONE I'M AFRAID!
Someone's going to enjoy the fruits of their badges.

cheers neil

UNIQUE PENCIL BADGE

Friday 06.11.09

This is a truly unique old world item.

It's a one off pencil badge.

The pencil is a Derwent Cumberland  No. 19 .

White!

It still has the original owners initials KC

penned onto the end of the pencil.

It measures 8cm long so has plenty of life left in it yet.

 

PENCIL BADGES

are beautiful and functional.

ta Neil

unique hand assembled pencil badges?

Of course you do.
