My Stuff VIII

Show Us Your Hot Dividing Curtain!

Before I left for Taiwan I was working on this job for a couple of friends. It is a dividing curtain that shuts off their mezzanine bedroom from the rest of their apartment. Their apartment is in a beautiful old department store building in Prahran, Melbourne. It has huge windows fronting the street, so they wanted to try to eliminate as much sound and light as possible. 

I suggested a champagne gold face fabric with a bit of shimmer, and a dark back fabric to enclose the bedroom and make it feel cosy and den-like. The fabrics they ended up going with are amazing. Hats off to you guys for your appreciation of the quality and value of your choice. It looks hot! I am really happy with the result. 

Taiwan

Update

Over the past year I have been working on getting a job teaching English in Japan. I was successful in securing a job, but due to the financial crisis the date of my placement kept being postponed. So I decided to cast my net a little wider. And just last week, my persistance has paid off. I have got a job in Taiwan, and I am leaving in 3 weeks! I wasn't expecting to leave until August. I am very excited and nervous, and I have a lot to organise.

MIKE ID has been put on hold for a while. My plan is to save money whilst working in Taiwan, soak up the inspiration that comes with living in another culture, and come back to re-start my business all guns a-blazing.

Thank you to all those who have supported and encouraged me with my endeavours over the past eighteen months. I truly appreciate it. It has been a fantastic learning experience and a lot of fun.

My etsy shop will close in a couple of weeks, so if you are interested in owning a MIKE ID original, get in there now!

Thanks again and stay tuned for further adventures.

Mike.

Hot Photos

My friend, Steve has given my T-shirts the attention they deserve, making them look as sexy and funky as they actually are in real life. Cheers Steve! Not only is he a fantastic professional photographer, but he also scrubs up well as a T-shirt model.

I've posted these photos on MIKE ID's facebook group and on my etsy shop.

Alpha Lamp

This lamp is the first thing I've made using the meterage from my first fabric design, 'Alpha Damask'. I made it for my sister, Kristy for Christmas.

Yarraville Market II

Despite the constant rain and having the pokiest stall in the building, I managed to pay for my stall and make enough profit to shout myself Nandos and a DVD.

My Monkey Love canvas was an attention grabber.

This girl was the daughter of one of my stall holder neighbours. The lady with the face painting stall painted my monkey on her cheek.

The Ipod Wallets were as popular as ever.

My T-Shirts made their debut appearance.

Yarraville Market

Ho! Ho! Ho!

This Saturday 13 December I will have a stall at Yarraville Christmas Market. It is being held at the Masonic Hall in Yarraville, next to the IGA car park, from 10am till 4.30pm.

This is the perfect opportunity to buy last minute Christmas gifts. Otherwise, just come say hello. I would greatly appreciate the support and you can check out what I've been working on.

Merry Christmas!
