I did
post a late last year about talented knitter
Christien Meindertsma and her beautiful Sea Urchin creatures. Well it seems there are now a few suppliers importing very similar designs into Australia, these are some I found a the recent trade fairs. They are now in store and measure approx 40cm in height and 40cm diameter and so very show stopping! RRP $170
They really are divine. Adore all those colours together. They look so inviting. Pruxxx
ReplyDeleteNice to properly meet you today! I have changed my profile pic, hopefully I look my age now : ) Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAustralia I am disapointed. Nasty copy
ReplyDeleteThanks Cornelia for your comment. I totally agree with your sentiments and have made the decision not to order the Gumballs again. I love to support local and international artists and this is no way to do that...
ReplyDeleteHowever I did email Christien Meindertsma's (the original designer) agent Thomas Eyck at t.e. THREE times in September and October last year when I wanted to stock the original designs. He didn't reply to one of my emails so maybe you could get in contact with him and tell him to start supporting HIS artists. Here are his details. www.thomaseyck.com info@thomaseyck.com
Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate your honesty.
On a positive note I love them! It will be sad to see them go...
