Time For Your Cuppa?

Tardis Mug

Jun 26, 2011

Hot on the heels of last weeks Rubik’s cuppa dynamic duo, this week we invite your morning cup of java to travel through time, in this beautifully crafted Tardis cup.

Telstra Letter to Clients

Jun 26, 2011

Rubik’s Cube. Mug. And A Coaster.

Rubiks Cube Mug

Jun 19, 2011

I’ve always struggled with working out how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. How people manage to solve them, and especially in seconds, is beyond my comprehension, and especially so when you cannot easily twist the pieces around because everything’s not properly in alignment. Far easier to just peel off the coloured stickers and rearrange them on the...
