However, what they had not anticipated was that after 21 years of dealing with creatives from every corner of the globe, neither Sandra nor Jerzy were ready for the boredom of retirement - so it was cancelled.
Jerzy went back to his first love creating art works and unique homewares. Sandra discovered a wonderful skill in photography and also took on the job of marketing the results.
Their new business is called Blakkoka2 Design Gallery. The beautiful logo for the company was adapted from a work by artist and friend Carly Wieland.
Let us know what you think. Remember there’s a lot more to come including outdoor furniture, homewares and sculpture.
