JUST BEE DESIGNS | 'Blue Quandong Pouchlet / Wallet No.3' | Pure linen / screenprint

Blue Quandong Series:

Hand screen-printed on pure linen, this Blue Quandong series is inspired by a native Australian rainforest tree that grows locally in Cairns. The serrated leaves and vivid blue fruits form striking forest-floor patterns, which Nicola has printed in rich rust and mandarin tones. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, sewn into functional everyday objects in her studio, created to be part of your everyday adventures.

Nicola Bryars-Parker is a multidisciplinary Australian artist working with textiles, printmaking, photography, installation, and sound. Grounded in a lifelong love of nature and materiality, her practice was shaped in childhood by her mother’s attention to detail and resourcefulness, repurposing her father’s draftsman paper into fabric patterns and drawing pads. Known as “Mim Fingers” for her curiosity and touch, Nicola often prints onto recycled substrates and found materials, exploring the textures and patterns of the natural world. Nicola holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UNSW and co-runs Just Bee Design, her full-time screen-printing practice.
