We've found an incredible artist that we're very happy to introduce to our readers. Reviewing a sculpture isn't easy as everyone has their own artistic tastes - but we're happy to say Teangi Chambers tickled all our fancies!

Teangi carefully boxed up and sent us one of her mini owl sculptures that now takes pride of place in the Aussie Product Review office. The piece has taken on a character of it's own and makes us smile each time we look at it - and isn't that what true whimsical art is all about? He stands about 12cm tall and 14cm wide.


OUR NEW AND MUCH LOVED OFFICE MASCOT - 'OLLIE' THE OWL

Teangi makes all her sculptures from galvanised steel, steel components, paint and love. She makes each sculpture by eye allowing the true essence of each piece to develop while in the making. No two are ever the same and the uniqueness and imperfections are part of their charm. This rings true for our new little buddy 'Ollie'. His charming seriousness reminds us to keep our minds on the job but his cheekiness still makes us smirk!

If you are interested in sculpture - especially Australian sculpture - then please take a look at Teangi's website or Facebook page to see what other wonderful creations she has brought into the world. 

She has a wonderful passion for animals & nature which comes through in her sculptures.
The rugged elements of the Australian climate are shown through various tortured, textural effects on these creatures.
Residing just south of the Central Coast in New South Wales, Teangi uses a mixture of metal types & components to create her designs.

Here at Aussie Product Review we were very excited to receive these great products by Oopsie. Their product range includes a bottle bag, lunch bag and a multipurpose bag all of which come in both their unique modern fabric designs, red scooter or their beautiful blue birds. Our review demonstrated to us that Oopsie’s products shouldn’t just be considered as baby accessories because they are practical for anyone in the family to take to work or Uni.

WINE WIPES
 
 

 
We're all familiar with the unattractive dark film that red wine leaves on your smile. Well, now there's a solution! Wipe that wine off your smile with Wine Wipes, a proprietary blend of stain-removing and teeth protecting ingredients that cleans red wine off teeth and neutralizes the palate. Just run Wine Wipes over your teeth and mouth, and order another round of red.

If your teeth and mouth stain when you drink red wine then you have to try Wine Wipes. Wine Wipes are a nifty idea sold here through http://www.winewipes.com.au/

This beautiful tote by Ella & Jaks was a wonderful surprise to review as each bag created by the very talented Sandra Dingwell, the owner, is totally unique and made with absolute love! Never will you see the same bag you bought out and about. We were very kindly given the tote ‘Orange Blossom’ and found the quality of the work put into this handmade creation just perfect – yes perfect! That’s hard to say as a reviewer but it fits the workmanship correctly in this case.
We had to put ‘Orange Blossom’ through its paces of course and what a better workout than by taking it shopping! I stuffed it full of goodies and used and abused it for a week and then another reviewer did the same and ‘Orange Blossom’ took it all in her stride. The stitching held up and I even gave her a clean up when I’d finished with a warm water spot clean and she came up good as new. Honestly I’ve paid a lot for bags over the years and have occasionally been disappointed in the quality for the price but have to say Ella & Jaks have made a great quality product at a very reasonable price.

Sparks & Frankie's UndetectaBELT

 


Sparks & Frankie ‘undetectaBELT’ – the first fashion fix available from http://www.sparksandfrankie.com.au/
Sydney fashion duo Louisa Sparks and Kerry ‘Frankie’ Islin have launched their new online store selling their first fashion fix: the undetectaBELT. The pair, known as Sparks and Frankie, have sourced a seriously clever fashion fix for Australian women!
Such a simple yet clever idea is the undetectaBELT from Sparks & Frankie. It is a clear plastic adjustable belt but the best feature is the flat clasp. The flat clasp enables you to wear any type of top over the top of the belt without the bulk of buckles and without bunching.
