Green tree ant
These busy ants build nests by gluing the leaves of trees together using the silk from their own larvae. This has earned them the alternative name of weaver ants. Both the bright green ants and their prominent nests are well known sights around Darwin.
They have curious relationships with their neighbours. Some blue butterflies seek out the ants before laying eggs. The ants then carry these eggs into their nests and care for them. When the caterpillars emerge, the ants guide them to food, and the caterpillars reward them with a sweet substance they exude through their pores. Jumping spiders imitate the spiders and move in, to feed on the ant larvae. Some birds use the ants to kill parasites on their bodies.

glasses slip cases
Our glasses cases have a sturdy canvas outer printed with our own designs. They are fully lined and feature a padded layer to provide protection for your glasses cases while taking up much less room in your bag than a hard carry case.
They fit most glasses, being 10cm across and around 20cm tall.
They're durable and washable and customers report the fun bright prints make them easy to find in your bag.
Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our glasses cases is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
