After a brief hiatus I’m back with all the latest from TK  HQ. I’ve had a great summer discovering  much creative talent, so keep tuned as I announce who will be joining the Tribe Katalyst fold in 2010.

In the meantime feast your eyes on a gorgeous piece by emerging Tasmanian jewellery designer Anna M Williams. The Misty Highlands Brooch - a little piece of the Tasmanian wilderness right there on your lapel . . .

My love of the derelict, poetic and god-damn beautiful has led me to discover the stunning images of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre. Detroit is firmly planted on my go-to list now . . .

Brent Dakis is one clever guy. Brent takes broken vintage watches and timepieces and turns them into absolutely stunning  jewellery - necklaces, earrings, cufflinks. Tribe Katalyst isn’t the only one to be enamoured of Brent’s talent - Handmade Melbourne has recognised him as one of Melbourne’s top artisans in their 2009 edition. Keep tuned - you’re going to be hearing a lot more about Brent and Depths of the Never Never.
