Tock Tock Clock by Gregor Jenkin is a sleek modern version of a grandfather clock, I particularly love the use of Michele Mathison's pewter ceramic birds referencing a cuckoo clock!

Clive Rundle caused a stir at Sanlam SA Fashion Week with these amazing creations showcased with a soundtrack by David Attenborough from his BBC series on mammals, and ending with a chant by the Dalai Lama.

I spotted these delicate "birds nest" lights made by Colin at Atomic Orchid. I loved the ethereal take on organic.

Hazel Buchan made a black feathered mask from La Perla out of white paper, it looks so realistic!
Hazel even cut the title of the editorial out of paper to carry the theme through.
