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 . . .


Here’s a peek at Simone Pfister’s work bench . . . as you can see Simone has created some stunning pieces as part of her sterling silver, doily collection. I’m totally in love with the doily rings!

Melbourne fans of Simone Pfister & Amanda Sheen are now very much in luck . . a selection of Simone and Amanda’s jewellery is now available at the ultra-delightful retail emporium, Sedonia. Pop in and say hi to Inge and Nicola and peruse their beautifully designed, hand-picked wares. Sedonia is located at 41 Gamon St, Seddon.

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 . . .

An ultra big thanks to the boys at Southsouthwest for designing the Tribe Katalyst identity and webpage. These guys are doing great things. Check them out.
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.


My explorations into the blogosphere have recently led me to The Sartorialist. Check out Scott Schuman’s photos of fabulously stylish and spunky people.
to This is Not a Design Market which takes place this Sunday July 19. This promises to be a great Melbourne winter’s day . . . there’s going to be craft, design, food, coffee . . . perfect. See you there.

Charlotte Gillam. Charlotte is a Melbourne-based artist who specialises in collage and montage . . . check out her work here. This lady is one to watch . . remember you heard it here first . . .

I love Michi Girl and I love New York. So imagine my excitement when I find out that Michi is in New York seeing the sights and having delights. See the photos of the trip here . . . Jealous, so jealous.
