Gifts that keep a memory, door hooks for a towel, logo business cards, hands-on learning games, storage doodads and hand-knitted pieces.
These sit over the top of a door. A finger grip, and a hook for a towel. Three sizes, so I can match your door.
For a slim door. Measure the edge, then tell me.
The opening is a little wider, for a thicker door.
The widest opening of the three.
There needs to be a small gap above the door, about 7 mm, or it will not close. A little felt pad on the door side stops scratches. Another colour if you ask.
A small card with a logo and a few clear words. This sample is my own card.

Yours can use your logo, your name, and your phone. Another colour if you ask.
Hands-on games for children. I print them at home in Canberra. Ask me at the stall, or call, text, or email. I will tell you the price.
Come and try them at the stall. Look with your hands.
Making maths child’s play. Roll two dice and count the dots. Use the number tiles and the symbol tiles to make an equation. Addition and subtraction, including negative numbers.
Problem-solving tiles. Five tiles — pink, blue, black, white and yellow. They lock together in only one way. Children turn them, think, and connect. It helps spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
A hands-on introduction to fractions. The pieces are parts of a circle: halves, thirds, quarters and smaller slices. Children put them together to make one full circle. The idea for these pieces comes from Printable Commons, by Josef Prusa. I print them here.
I design a holder to fit what you already have. This one keeps kitchen lids tidy under a shelf.
Keyrings and calligraphy plaques, made with your words and colours. Call or text and I will give you a price.
The face is black. The rim and the words are raised in orange-gold. You can have “Love for All”, “Hatred for None”, or both phrases together. Other colours if you ask.
A black plaque with a raised gold border. The words are أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ In English: “Is not Allah sufficient for His servant?” I can change the colours, or print another short verse or phrase in Arabic or English.
Gift busts from your photos, and lithophanes that keep a special memory. A picture that lights up, or a night light with their photo. Most gifts $30–$55 · I confirm the price before I start. For other pieces, I shape the design on my computer, then print it here in Canberra.
White flower cups for a battery tea light. One is glowing. Little hearts sit beside them. Ask me the price.
A memory of a couple, printed from photos. I can make a bust like this from your own photos. Most gifts $30–$55. I confirm the price before I start.
Send a clear photo of the faces. A small bust to keep a memory, or to give.
One person, shaped from a photo. Tell me who the gift is for.
A lithophane gift. I print your photo so it glows in a frame. A wedding, a holiday, a place you love. It can also be a night light with a loved one’s picture. Most gifts $30–$55 · I confirm the price before I start.
Pandy, a little gift made from photos. I can do the same for your pet.
Brolgas are native to Australia. I made them from a photo, like the black swans. More Australian plants and animals may come later.
Some models are left plain, so you can paint them. Ask me at the stall. I like showing people how.
An Australian bird. I printed this one, then painted it at home.
Some of my prints are ready to paint. You choose the colours. Come and have a look, and ask me which ones.
I can put a small kit together for you. Paint, sandpaper, brushes, and a model ready for paint. Just ask me.
Some market days I paint a model at the table. You are welcome to stop and watch. Come and say hello.
Hand knitted, slowly, in colours you choose.
Want a gift that keeps a memory? A bust, a lit picture, or a night light with their photo. Most gifts $30–$55 · I confirm the price before I start. Send me your picture. Most other pieces can be made again, in your colour or with your name. As a guide, most of those are between $20 and $50, and not much more than $60.
