Frost+Dinkie -Tattooed Dinkie


Check out this little cutie!! Yes this is one of my creations!
This is one of my Tattooed Dinkies, finally! Its been a long time in the making. Dinkie pictured here is a ceramic mintie gloss with my illustrations glazed/tattooed on, so it's there for good, no laser treatment's gonna get this off. Each one is slightly different as I have to hand make each one.

These little guys are available through selected stores in NZ and will now be available at the Frost+Dinkie showroom in Cross St Arcade, 1/214 K'rd, Auckland, NZ, and of course you can get them online at www.frostanddinkie.com - they are very limited though as I have to make each one!

Make your own brick shelving

Make your own brick shelves. I just put this together the other day which I'm using in the Frost+Dinkie showroom/gallery.
All you need is some bricks - which I picked up from TradeMe or you can get from a Demolition Yard, and a sheet of 1200x1200 board - which I picked up from Bunnings and they can cut it there for you if you don't have the tools at home.
Then I just painted everything white! You could paint the bricks any colour (I was going to paint them bright blue or pink, but because I'm using this in the gallery, white is suited best).

You could totally do this with bits of old wood you might have lying around, and also bricks, there is usually always someone that has some that are not in use.
