And now for something a little decadent. It's all the work of Emma Goody, though. So how did this self-described "lovely girl" end up creating cushions for a living? It started with her love of ballet - there's the theatrical element for you - and the inconsistency of the work. So she started Emma Jay Designs. Now in its fifth year, the range is stocked in more than 400 shops across Australia. Not bad, Miss Goody.
