Meet Little Nikita

Meet Little Nikita as written by Kylie Robinson

My main items are scrabble pieces, I make rings, pendants, earrings and my major seller are the scrabble cufflinks!
I love making things that are a little bit quirky and living in Melbourne I certainly get lots of inspiration as everyone who lives here and has there own style! All one has to do is sit in a café in one of many laneways for inspiration!


It was great when I then came across in.cube8r, I placed a few items in my cube and 'wow' what a feeling it was to make my first sale.
Isy is great and I think she has certainly ensured that home crafters can make the next step. Not only that ,.. you don’t have to get up early to set up stalls on the weekend!

Faythe Levine visit's in.cube8r

Isy Galey, Esther Navarro-Orejon & Faythe Levine

A BIG thankyou to Faythe Levine who visited us last Sunday to talk about all things art, craft, FIY and the movie Handmade Nation. Our cuber's and visitors sipped champagne as Faythe took us on her journey leaving us inspired and committed to continue our support of all things handmade. If we say so ourselves Faythe loved the in.cube8r space and concept and even picked up a Nadia Turner brooch.

Thankyou to all of you who supported and visited the gallery . If you have any suggestions on future events and workshops we would love to hear about them. Email us here

Here are some more pics of Sunday's event.

We feel in love with the delicious culinary delights of Felt Cuisine (http://www.feltcuisine.com/) where you can have your cake and eat it too, well actually no you can't eat it but it sure looks tempting - the added bonus NO CALORIES!

Guilt free sweets!!

Sushi anyone?

Kit and Caboodle - Happy 50th Birthday Barbie

Now, whilst we have been using this blog as a good way to communicate in.cube8r news, cuber designers and in.cube8r in the press it really is an avenue for all things art & Craft and handmade to be shared, adored and loved. After an email alerting us of an in.cube8r supporter (http://kitandcaboodle.ning.com/forum/topics/selling-jewellery-how-to?page=1&commentId=2576645%3AComment%3A13255&x=1#2576645Comment13255)
we checked out Kit & Caboodle and online network of contemporary jewellers - where there are oodles of amazing items. We couldn't resist and had to share the amazing work of Marguax Lange... if only we'd thought of that!!

As Barbie celebrates her 50th Birthday we say Happy Birthday!

And we know what you are all thinking...where's Ken? Don't fret Ken Rings and earrings available!!
