[Art] Brown Honeyeater as Totem.

A regular visitor to thickets in the bushland
and all the shrubbery in my Mum's garden.
Drab-looking at first glance,
they none-the-less lift my spirits every time I see them.

That makes sense. I knew it was a pretty good equestrian mecca, but I guess I never expected it to be much of a tack maker because I've never really encountered many WA saddlery companies before.

The duster I own for rainy days was made in WA, though! (And I got it at the local horse fair a few years back.)

I try to avoid buying things online only because right now my grandmother pays most of my credit card bills (on her insistence), so rather than deal with "No, I'll pay for this, really" I just try not to buy anything with it. There's another big art supply store in town that isn't as marked up, but I've never cared for their acrylic painting supplies; they're the place to go for drawing materials, papers, canvasses, stretchers, and pretty much anything else, though. They have excellent brans for oil painting, but for whatever reason their nicest line of acrylics is Liquitex, which I really don't like. It might have something to do with their being the main competition for the UW art store, though, and the UW has a lot of nice acrylics.

Anyway, thanks for the recs! I'll keep my eyes open. I have to go get some painting supplies today, but I'm going to wait on the iridescent stuff until I know what everywhere else carries--I'm just going to the nearby craft store anyway, which has a nice selection of general acrylic brands (and the best selection of brushes, too, actually). =)
