Waking up begins with saying am and now. That which has awoken then lies for a while staring up at the ceiling and down into itself until it has recognised I, and therefore deduced I am, I am now. Here comes next, and is at least negatively reassuring; because here, this morning, is where it had expected to find itself; what’s called at home. But now isn’t simply now. Now is also a cold reminder, one whole day later than yesterday, one year later than last year. Every now is labelled with its date, rendering all past nows obsolete, until - sooner or later - perhaps - no, not perhaps - quite certainly: It will come.

So excited! Auf Wiedersehen bear brooches now available!

Designed by me and lasercut from wood, there are two bear faces ready to be lovingly pinned to your chest. Each brooch costs $30.

This photo shows the first design, Björn (which translates to bear in Swedish and Icelandic), while my second design has crescent moons under the eyes in place of the triangles (named Ursa, Latin for bear and also referring to the constellations Minor and Major).
For very few of the brooches the triangles and the moons will be painted in gold leaf.

My next range will focus on female and male characters - meant to be bought in pairs of your choosing they’ll be make up my Lovers range.

In short I worked really hard to get this started, and now Auf Wiedersehen has begun to take shape to become more than just an illustration pseudonym - and I’m really proud. As you know, you can click-through the image if you are interested in buying one, to contact me through my Auf Wiedersehen facebook page, or email me on brightyoungthings@live.com.au for more details.
