Since our move back to Sydney, our vision of Carrara Island has become much stronger. Previous work was more of a glimpse into the lives of the Pecanpals. The future is the tales told in full. We are noticing a much brighter colour palate creeping into the work. It makes us happy.

Pecanpals are ready to adopt!

We have been busy preparing some hand carved, hand cut, hand painted and hand pressed wooden prints as part of a thank you for those who are going to adopt a whole set of our Natural Wood Pecanpals in early May. Here are some progress pictures from the incredibly enjoyable, yet time-consuming printing process. The prints are on wood and each one is different.

Well, after a very long break from the paint jars, I am pleased to once again sit down and paint. I have been having a lot of imagery floating around in my head, so it is quite relieving to be able to capture it finally.

Noferin's Pecanpals are made from 100% sustainably harvested wood. They are made from rubber tree wood that would otherwise go to waste. Rubber trees are planted for their rubber, and after about 20 years, their rubber yields start to diminish. We use this beautiful wood in all our wooden products, thus saving it from the fire pit.

Natural Wood Series
Limited to only 300 friends.
Made from 100% wood.
Articulated joints.
All individually hand crafted.
