Black Sheep Barn
We at Black Sheep Production specialize in photography and fashion graphics. One day we received a sewing machine as a gift and with a pile of old t-shirts and fabric scraps sitting around, along came the Black Sheep Barn. We started sewing pointlessly to familiarize ourselves with different fabrics and techniques. But we soon found our direction: most of our friends are in the age bracket where tying that knot seems to be the most natural thing to do. We could not think of better gifts to give than to make our marrying friends stuffed rabbit couples with used/ wasted fabric. We have attempted making frog and cow couples, but our rabbit couples are still rated the most popular among our friends. Rabbits are our favourite too as they are the most innocent- and dumb-looking creatures that we believe represent genuine and extended love.

Our first order
We took our first order from a lady family member requesting for a “coat” for her mobile phone. This coat has to protect the phone from sharp and bumpy objects such as keys, while bearing in mind she has always complained the difficulty in fishing the phone from her large hand-bag. Hence we came up with our first rabbit (again!) cell-phone sleeve with elongated ears to enable her to store her phone and to tie it to the strap of her handbag. Very soon we discovered that many of our lady friends and family members encounter the same difficulty fishing their phones. This became a success immediately; we have even received orders from a few gentlemen although they would not admit that they are ordering for themselves. Very soon we have received orders to create different characters: the whale, the duck, th e chicken, and the black sheep. They all represent bits and pieces of someone we know. Read on, we will bring to you great stories about and between these characters.
