Vesica - Your everyday ecofriend

I shared a story of one of my favourite pieces – a leather case with the Flower of Life embossed into it, then had stained in Timber brown dye. A beautiful, purposeful design.

That story reached 16 people. Six interacted.
All of them were already close friends and part of my community. Thanking you 6! 🫶

And here’s the strange part: after 12 years on this platform and “3,000”, it made me realise something. Instagram isn’t really about connection anymore. It’s about feeding the machine.

For me, making a living through arty craftiness has always been about purpose and creating something authentic. But this space… more often than not, it feels like a distraction tool rather than a place that allows creativity to reach a wider audience. Or pay 🆙 💰

I’ll keep creating, keep sharing—but more importantly, I’ll keep seeking spaces where the work can truly connect with people.
Because connection > algorithms.
Always!

This post is really one of appreciation—for my fellow creatives who find themselves in the same situation. I see you, I understand, and I seek with you a better space to share our art and our souls.

See you this weekend, family. Looking forward to catching up with you

Remember to arrive and leave sober and well-slept.

The new site is a little further out than expected, but from what I’ve heard—it’ll be worth the mission. We’re deep in the Queensland bush, where we get to check out from the rest of the world and drop in with ourselves, the community, and the music.

Don’t forget the festival essentials: plenty of water/food, warm clothes, good footwear, earplugs, electrolytes. Get good sleep, pace yourselves. It’s a long weekend.

Bring a little extra 💰 to support the markets and foodies 🍲
Come by the stall and check out our gear for the festival and beyond.

And don’t forget your Vesica water bottle and case!

What’s your festival must-have that you can’t leave behind?

This planet we call home is a delicate, precious gift. Yet every day, we carelessly toss aside single-use plastic bottles, contributing to a growing environmental crisis.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​But what if I told you there's a simple solution? A reusable water bottle - one that's not only beautiful, but built to last a lifetime.

So let's make a pact, you and I. No more disposable water bottles, no more fueling an industry that's destroying our home. No more mindless plastic waste!

Just one beautiful, long-lasting bottle is all you need. Whether it's a stylish Vesica or any reusable bottles, it's a small act that makes a BIG difference.

Because when we come together, united by a common cause, great things happen. And I, for one, can't wait to see what we accomplish.

Woah, what a sight! The sheer volume of plastic water bottles spilling out of that bin is just heartbreaking.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It's a jarring reminder of our society's excessive and unsustainable reliance on single-use plastics. Each one of those bottles will likely end up polluting our precious environment for decades to come.

This is a real wake-up call that we need to rethink our habits and make some serious changes, both as individuals and as a community. The damage being done is mounting, and we can't ignore it any longer.

These photos were taken whilst visiting Kuala Lumpur on a quick layover back in 2016. I'll be optimistic and hope the city has stepped up its waste management practices, but still to this day, this isn't an uncommon site around busy cities.

Isn't it amazing how a single item can take you on such an incredible journey? This Vesica water bottle has been by my side for years, from the Mind. Body & Spirit event in Melbourne all the way to the transformative Oregon Eclipse festival 2017.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It's more than just a water bottle - it's a trusted companion that has witnessed my adventures around the world. I'm so grateful to have this piece connecting the dots between the meaningful experiences that have shaped my path.

No matter where life takes me, I'll always have this Vesica bottle to ground me and keep me hydrated along the way. It's a reminder that the things we cherish can transcend time and space, becoming a part of our most cherished memories.

Look a little closer and you may notice the sacred geometrical patterns that permeate the natural world around us.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​From the intricate designs of a snowflake to the spiraling symmetry of a seashell, these timeless shapes and structures reveal the underlying mathematical beauty that governs all of creation.

By slowing down and shifting our perspective, we can begin to glimpse the profound interconnectedness that links us to the larger cosmic dance. Each petal, each stone, each celestial body - all expressions of the same fundamental geometric principles.

Open your eyes and bear witness to the sacred geometry that is unfolding before you in every moment. Find the repeating patterns, the golden ratios, the perfect polygons. Marvel at the elegant simplicity that belies the complexity of it all.

For in these geometric revelations, we may just find a path to greater understanding - of the world, of ourselves, and of the divine blueprint that ties us all together.
