Pandacake
Pandacake is an artist, and an expert one at that! Like most artists, Pandacake is often misunderstood. She tries to tell people what she is thinking, but somehow it never comes out right. Luckily, her paintings tell more than any words could. She is sweet and kind natured, and loves to explore things that nobody else notices.

Claudius
Claudius is incredibly strong, with arms thicker than most tree trunks. Satisfied with the simple things in life, Claudius never asks for much. He is a kind-hearted old soul who enjoys counting ducks, swimming on the lake and spending warm summer afternoons stretched out on the grass practicing how to sleep.

Fanelli
Fanelli's playful nature and thirst for adventure ensures that no two days are alike. She is innovative, extremely clever and can find the solution to almost any problem. If there is a mountain to climb, an ocean to dive, or a sky to parachute, you can be certain that Fanelli will be there.6.5 inches high.
About the wood used:
Like all Noferin wooden pieces, the Pecanpals are made from 100% sustainably harvested wood. They are made from rubber tree wood that would otherwise go to waste. Rubber trees are planted for their rubber, and after about 20 years, their rubber yields start to diminish. We use this beautiful wood, thus saving it from the fire pit.
No two Pecanpals look the same. They are entirely hand made.
We are very pleased with these figures and hope that you enjoy them too.
About the artists:
Noferin is the collaboration of two parallel minds: that of husband and wife, Candy and Nick.
Trained as a Graphic Designer - BDes (VisComm); BvisComm (First Class Hons) - Candy possesses an acute understanding of solid design principles. She brings these skills into her paintings; a medium that she finds to be more expressive and free.
Studying an Environmental Science degree, Nick spends every spare moment developing the world of Noferin in a literary sense and through wooden sculpture.
From their studio in Australia, Candy and Nick delve into the whimsical world of Carrara Island and its inhabitants - meshing the fine art, design and literary worlds together in a complete and unique package.
"Our world is a living environment that grows everyday. At first, we were shaping and creating the boundaries of Carrara Island, but now the world is so vivid and real to us that our role has changed from creator to story-teller. We are the vessels for telling the stories of Carrara Island and the unique characters that call it home. Noferin wishes to take the audience on a journey of discovery that uncovers something new and quite magical with each chapter of this perpetual narrative."
