BIRCHseed collaboration.....

The Mamas are super duper excited to announce an awesome collaboration with the wonderful Nikki from BIRCHseed. Nikki  is based in Murwillumbah and creates one-of-a-kind textiles and handmade products through the artful process of block printing. Her method of block-printing textiles by hand allows the time and space to SLOW down and enjoy an artful process whilst being a stay at home mum. Her principles resonated with me and when she suggested we team up for a few projects.........
Well, she had me at hello!! So our first project(s) together are the super-eco cushions teaming Nikki's apple and pear designs with our Mod Green Pod Basil and Cherry Atticus prints - all on organic cotton of course. Just gorgeous - a true perfect match!!



yes, i need to pay my fave photographer a visit!!
You can purchase these lovely cushions from BIRCHseed's shop and THE ORGANIC MAMA's shop.
Be sure to check out Nikki's other extremely gorgeous items too!!

The difference a professional makes..........

Maybe I shouldn't write this post - because it shows up my complete and utter inadequacies when it comes to photography........but on a positive note, it will show how much difference a professional photographer can make to your product. So, ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the before shot.......(by me)
and, through the magical lens of Rich, the professional, the after.....
I rest my case.
Class dismissed.
oh, you can buy them here and here.
