Silver-crowned friarbird
Friarbirds visit the pond by our front door, tilting their funny triangle heads this way and that between drinks. They’re otherwise pretty elusive woodland dwellers, so I am grateful for the ponds around my house as they bring these and other birds to my doorstep. I’ve long wanted to do a friarbird design and finally found time while visiting my partner who was working on Elcho Island in 2025. I spent the day in blissful isolation, working up this rather odd tribute to a rather odd bird. When he came home from work, we went for a walk. We were greeted by a silver-crowned friarbird on the fence as we stepped outside. There was another on the corner at the end of the road and another a hundred metres or so along the road. They all sat and let us pass close by. Friarbird Friday.
Product variants
glasses slip cases
Our glasses cases have a sturdy canvas outer printed with our own designs. They are lined inside 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.
