Naarm/Melbourne

Working under the collaborative pseudonym CR•ᴗ•MM, Cat Rabbit and Michelle Mackintosh work creatively in tandem inspiring each other on their shared projects, with strong foundations in the realm of books, analogue technology and the handmade. Michelle designed Cat’s craft book Trinkets (Smith Street Books, 2025) which led to a collaboration on a new picture book titled Fuzzy Feelings (Little Smith, 2026) which explores the spectrum of feelings, big and small, and how we can honour them with curiosity and patience.

CR•ᴗ•MM Cat and Michelle are passionate about making things by hand. Together they will create a range of collaborative handmade products, made specifically for the fair, that will elaborate on the world of their central character from Fuzzy Feelings, 'Little Cat'. Products will include a risographed zine, risographed wrapping paper, Gocco prints and a special stamp for fair patrons to collect. They will also create a range of hand sewn felt charms for sale, representing our shared interest in textiles and handcrafts. Their handmade offerings will complement their collaborative works published by Smith Street Books.
