Bonnie Poplar's Adoring Series features some of Evi's favorite beasts. A wild-haired colt, a deer with crazy antlers and a howling wolf. These illustrations were once produced as prints on fabric brooches and they look fantastic in the laser cut & engraved wooden brooches! In this design, the deer tosses its head to the side and shows off abstract handdrawn antlers with geometric bends and folds. We're so excited to be stocking Evi's super-sweet designs, and have no doubt they'll be snapped up quickly!
Size: Approx. 59mm diameter
Bonnie Poplar brooches are made using double-sided veneer timber called Rimu which originates from New Zealand. Each brooch has a silver tone brooch back pin with hook lock on the back. The quality & detail of the laser cutting & engraving is exceptional!
Evi O. is a book designer and illustrator from Sydney, and Bonnie Poplar indulges her passion and imaginations, translating her 2D delicates onto 3D wearable objects. Quirky narratives are embodied within each hand-made novelty, giving her products a curious feel.

Bonnie Poplar's Capturing Series follows on from her obsession with the old hunting tradition - as seen in her Hunting Series. The silhouettes of three animals have been 'captured' within decorative frame shapes reminiscent of the frame mounts used for hunting trophies. This brooch features a proud stag standing at attention, showing off his impressive antlers. We're so excited to be stocking Evi's super-sweet designs, and have no doubt they'll be snapped up quickly!

So cute, and so affordable, this three colour gocco print is from a limited edition of 73. It is printed on the ends of etching cloth paper (creme), and is signed, dated and numbered by the artist.
Size: 11 x 14cm (4.5 x 5.5" approx.)
Emma Kidd brings intriguing characters to life in her original artworks, goccos, postcards & prints. She has an incredible portfolio and we are thrilled to offer a selection of her works for sale. In many of her pieces, we see portraits of monsters - curious & playful, strange & shy, such as the Rabbit Tree Head in this Gocco print. At other times, we see characters in their environments - different imaginings of the natural world, or darker, more sinister spaces where twisted tales are unfolding.
Emma Kidd is an Australian artist, illustrator, printmaker, photographer who spends most of my time creating things. The name "benconservato" refers to "well preserved" in Italian.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the handmade nature of Gocco prints, each and every one is a little different. This variation is part of the special appeal of Gocco prints, but it means that the Gocco print you receive will differ slightly from these images. If you would prefer to see an image of the EXACT print you will receive, please email us so we can send you an photo and reserve that one for you to purchase. (We have prints #8, #18, & #38 available to purchase.)
