Fantastic Five: Jonathan’s Back Yard
We know that Jonathan, our intrepid leader, was inspired to start the Zibbet venue when he witnessed those close to him attempting to sell their creations. We know how hard he, Andrew and the staff work to make Zibbet the best venue on the internet. We also know that Australia is a huge country that must be brimming with talented craftspeople. Many of us, whether we’re in North America, Asia or Europe, have never been to Australia so what better way to experience the island nation than by purchasing a piece of art from another talented Zibbeter? From various stops across that wonderful country these artists represent their country well. All areas of the craft world are beautifully represented in Jonathan’s backyard. Take a virtual trip and visit their shops.

What a fabulous Fantastic Five! Thank you, Judy for featuring Australia this week! So much talent here and on Zibbet!
Aww…I like the idea behind this Fantastic five! Where do we go next?
I have to say I expected to find things that just say Australia when you look at them, featured here … The only one that does that is the top one. But wow… there are some beautiful talented artisans down there … nice choices Judy!
Just a WONDERFUL idea behind the Five this week, Ms. Graffiti! The items chosen are beautiful - wonderfully executed! Thanks, once again….
