Wow. The Jains won’t even eat tubers due to their reverence of Gaia’s soil.. which is great. But I prefer to worship her in other ways. Fuck the envy element of instagram; I’ve been lucky enough to have Satish and June Kumar underneath the Redgums I grew up with; telling me that it’s cool for me to yak to them. #yeahmindful #trees #satishkumar #schumachercollege #roquwood (at McLaren Vale, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMphj8AScs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14w6lt0uwg1ph

Repost. This Fascinator bloke is on to it. . A Sheltie (like the dog ; there’s a longish hair breed of guinea pig) Capybara would be quite something too,...one day in Central Park there might be professional Capybara walkers..but they would have to be qualified swimmers too of course .. ( As I’ve said before, rodents have something highly unique going on with 🎶..;. our guineas prefer more seashanty type stuff compared to their more lounge oriented cousins here: the Japanese clearly know this . #thenewwork #capybara #guineas #guineapig #cavies #Repost @lordfascinator with @get_repost ・・・ *believes in reincarnation* https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnj6yIfAyyx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eqy7e02wi49u

So the Xmas chicks have turned into these and I think they are pretty snaz. ‘Roqustons’ half Lavender Araucana half Werverk.. we’ll still have to wait til spring to find out the egg colour 🤙#newbreed #nongmo #poshpoultry #smallfarmeating #roqustons #roquwoood (at Mclaren Vale)

Ive got no fuquing idea what dialogue is going here.. I was just trawling thru photos trying to find a pic of abalone .umm ‘essence’ which is kinda transparent fluoro blue.. has ludicrous health props..that I want to send to noma.. anyway.. this has milo with a blue swimmer.. and it’s otherworldliness makes starwars/mmax look halfarsed. #sustainableseafood #saveourseagrass #toriesaregoingdownonoceanconservation #seeya #marineparks #auspol #roquwood (at Thompson Beach)

#Repost @roquwood with @get_repost ・・・ A bunch at various points of production...(and an early prototype..) Sometimes the design influences only become overtly apparent once they’re fully realised.. these little platter knives, ‘Boquen’ , (derived from the 🇯🇵 boken) I’m noticing the obvious traditional Wakizashi sword.. but Scandi...Gaudi ( because no two are the same) and a whack of Goetheanumic anthroposophy.. jeez...quite a mouthful but still simplicity rules : ) #ecodesign #aslongasitworks #steiner #scandieco #shibui #enso #steiner #greendesign #naturalmaterials #homewares #ecohomewares #boquen #roquwood

Of course everyone is using the word ‘inspiration’ ... In this case, I’m going with the mob. Vale and thankyou Dr Hawking. ( I’ll have another crack at your book someday) : ) 💫

Burning the candle late getting stock ready for @fleurieuarthouse @ Womad..and this golden scamp flittered in , perched on my hand , then my shirt pocket..off to a pose on a Codorna board ..and finished off next to one of my cards/pricetags.. 🙏💫 a good section of my stuff is at the legendary #Womad til , Monday night ( hopefully I’ll be able to pop in Monday 👌) great stuff Anna and Warren!! 💥#fleurieuarthouse #ecobiz #makers #naturalmaterials #homewares #ecohomewares #design #greendesign #aurum #goldie #roquwood (at WOMADelaide)

I was just inspired by @johnlethlean tore-watch C.Walken's utubed 'chicken with pears' #genius 🍗 ..the larder was bare,except for some local small farm pork/beef sassicia(?) sausages.. I wouldn't inflict 'toadinthehall' or 'pigsinblankets' ..I have no idea what the fuckers even are..but I synchronously with the Walken snippet was inspired to wrap them in one of the multiple packets of shortcrust pastry that's been in the freezer for ever. Caught Stella's curiosity. 'Weiners in Doonas' I said. #fastslowfood #slowfood #quasipaleo #paleo #smallfarmeating #semicomfortfood #foodculture #roquburywines #roquwood

These dishes do look rather dishy in their nude, pre-oiled state. Saharan dunelike. ☀️#rewards #kickstarter #wood #homeware #ecohomeware #heirlooms #ecobiz #crafted #artisan #roquburywines #slowfood #roquwood

Alcohol free wine has never really had a great image..... Prime winemaking goal for Roqubury: fit object on the left into the one next to it.

Another repost. For me, these images never fail to ping some part of the brain we have no idea about...they are always very Rorschach.. (Reinforcing my belief that #Goethe has come the closest of anyone to the answer of #lifetheuniverseandeverything ) .. Anyway, this is totally life drawing writhing elemental gorgeousness.. maybe it's just me. #space #universe #lovemamagaia #gaia #NASA #smarts #roquwood

Jonny is a good mate. and I have a few of his works ..that said, I've always found his woodcuts the most electrifying I've ever seen. #Japan #bigcats #culture #essence Repost @jon.c.paton ・・・ 'Leopard by the pond' woodblock print. 30 x 42 cm. 2015 #woodblock #japanesewoodblock #reliefprintmaking #printmaking #leopard

Milo and I raced through these just before. They were like those blue floaty seed things in Avatar. We filmed them on the way back. I guess these queen ants hatch from this massive log once a year. milo is pretty obsessed with all insects, bugsngrubs and wotnot. 🐝🐛🐌🐞🐜🕷🦂#kidsneednature #lovemamaGaia #Gaia #entomology #nature #organic #organicgardening #gardening #roquburywines #roquwood

I hear about device interconnectivity from snippets of those Apple conferences and wotnot. I needed a bottle graphic for displaying Kickstarter rewards in the dairy last night and thought screw clipart.
