Ballet Birdie

Ballet Birdie, 8x10


Sarah loves everything about the art of Ballet. The discipline, the beauty, the artistry and the physicality. But after years of pointe work her scarred toes look strange in open toed shoes. She wears them with pride anyway - we are nothing if not a collection of scars we've overcome.

Vintage Hats

Bunny in a Hat, 8x10


For Mabel what began as a desperate attempt to hide a bad dye job - splotchy purple ears don't look good on ANYONE - resulted in a new fashion staple. Now she's famous around town for her remarkable vintage cloche collection. We all need to be known for something!

The Cowboy

The Cowboy, 8x10


Somewhat confused by who the term 'Cowboy' actually refers to, Fred decided that because he's a cow and a boy he must be a Cowboy. Luckily he has the perfect hat!

My Grandfather's Hat

My Grandpa's Hat, 8x10


Charlie's favourite hat is one he found in the back of his Grandfather's closet. Instantly smitten he wears it everywhere he goes. His girlfriend thinks he looks like a gangster but Charlie loves it's air of sophisticated danger - which doesn't hurt when you only weigh 12lbs!

On the Lookout for Ice Cream

On the Lookout, 8x10


Fred and Flutter spent the day at the park. It was great fun but awfully hot. They decided that an ice cream cone would cool them off nicely. So the hunt was on for an ice cream truck. They found one of course - what ice cream truck can avoid a crowded park on a hot summer's day?
