But what would it take to make your dreams of creating and running your own bar become a reality?
Drambuie has just announced that they are going to give someone the opportunity to do just that, to create and run their own bar. They’re conducting a competition, the winner of which gets to take a space in central Sydney and realise their idea. Keep reading →

Everything about Sruli Recht’s (Df issue 13) work is impeccable; from his font, to his packaging, to the materials and techniques he employs … While they hark back to ages past, there’s nothing old hat about his creations – they’re the ultimate in luxury. Click on the image above to watch a video which provides a brief window his studio, equipment and techniques. Enjoy.

… are Going, Going …
As many of you (those who subscribe to our email newsletter) already know, as of the 15th May we’re no longer going to be selling back issues of Dumbo feather … several reasons, but mostly the storage and admin costs associated with keeping them have just become too much. So …
you’ve got this week ONLY to get your paws on as many back issues as you’ll possibly ever need/desire …
The specials we’ve got going are issues 1-4 for just $20 and the full set of all available back issues for $135, that’s 18 issues for the price of 15. Get collecting!!! They truly are a beautiful set. A woman wrote to us recently. She’d bought two sets, one for each of her sons … who are both still under ten years old!
